What is restorative dentistry?
At Seal It with a Smile, we provide a wide variety of pediatric dental treatments designed to restore and protect your child’s smile – always with a gentle touch and your child’s comfort in mind. From white fillings to dental crowns, our team takes the time to walk you through every option, so you feel informed and confident in every step of your child’s care.
The benefits of restorative dentistry
Addressing dental issues early prevents bigger problems and helps children stay comfortable and confident in their smiles. Restorative treatments protect teeth from further damage, maintain proper function, and encourage children to develop healthy attitudes toward oral care. At Seal It with a Smile, our gentle, prevention-focused approach ensures children receive treatment in a way that feels safe, supportive, and personalized.
Relieves pain quickly
Restorative treatments address cavities and infections, giving children immediate relief from discomfort.
Protects growing smiles
Fillings, crowns, and other treatments help maintain natural teeth and protect oral development.
Builds confidence
Gentle, conservative care helps kids overcome fear and feel proud of their healthy smiles.
Did you know...
Putting your child to bed with a bottle of milk, juice, or formula is one of the leading causes of early childhood caries (cavities in toddlers).
What to expect at your child's restorative care appointment
Comprehensive exam
We begin with a gentle, thorough exam to evaluate the tooth or area of concern. Using kid-friendly communication, we explains what we see so parents and children understand what’s happening and what comes next.
Treatment recommendations
After assessing your child’s needs, we will review the best treatment options, from small fillings to crowns or other conservative solutions. Every plan is personalized to protect your child’s oral health while minimizing stress or discomfort.
Sedation options
For children who feel anxious, we offer laughing gas (nitrous oxide) to help them relax. This safe, mild sedation option keeps kids calm and cooperative during treatment and wears off quickly once the visit is complete.
Treatment or scheduling
Depending on the diagnosis and your child’s comfort, some treatments can be completed the same day. If additional visits are needed, our team will schedule them at your convenience and provide guidance for caring for your child’s smile between appointments.

Tooth-colored fillings
Tooth-colored fillings blend naturally with your child’s smile while repairing cavities. Glass ionomer (GI) fillings are also used for certain cases, offering fluoride release and gentle restoration for growing teeth. Both options are safe, durable, and designed with children’s comfort in mind.
Pediatric crowns
For teeth too damaged for fillings, crowns provide strong, reliable protection. Crowns restore function, preserve the tooth, and help maintain proper spacing for future permanent teeth.
Pulpotomies
Sometimes called “baby root canals,” pulpotomies treat infection in the tooth’s nerve while preserving the remaining tooth structure. This treatment relieves pain, saves the tooth, and supports healthy oral development.
Extractions
If a tooth is too damaged to save, a gentle extraction may be the best option. We perform extractions with care, ensuring comfort and planning for space maintenance if needed.
Space maintainers
When a baby tooth is lost too early, space maintainers help keep the gap open until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt. These small, custom devices prevent crowding or misalignment later on—supporting a healthy, confident smile as your child grows. At Seal it with a Smile, we design each space maintainer with care to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.
Silver diamine fluoride (SDF)
SDF is a non-invasive treatment that stops cavities from progressing without drilling or anesthesia. It’s especially helpful for young or anxious children, preserving tooth structure while preventing further decay.
ICON resin infiltration
ICON resin infiltration allows us to treat early cavities and white spot lesions without drilling. This minimally invasive treatment is quick, painless, and ideal for preserving enamel and protecting your child’s smile.
Curodont
Curodont is a non-invasive treatment that does not require drilling. It helps repair very early cavities by supporting your child’s tooth to naturally rebuild and strengthen itself — often stopping decay before a filling is needed.
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide)
For kids who feel nervous, laughing gas provides safe, mild sedation that helps them relax during treatment. It wears off quickly, so children can return to normal activities right after their visit.
