Restorative Care
At Lindsey A. Robinson DDS Pediatric and Endodontic Dentistry in Grass Valley CA, dentistry for kids is more than bright, healthy smiles; it’s also about making the trip to the dentist a calm, pleasant experience so there’s no fear of ‘next time’. We take pride in seeing our pediatric dental patients grow into their adult teeth, so we’re committed to earning the trust of everyone who visits our practice-both children and parents. That’s why we take extra time to build rapport and earn confidence; it makes the experience easier for everyone. As a part of our care, we use pleasant, simple explanations to answer your child’s questions and calm any anxieties. Of course, we’re also happy to answer any concerns or questions you might have as a parent.
At Lindsey A. Robinson DDS Pediatric and Endodontic Dentistry we offer the following restorative procedures to keep your child’s smile bright and healthy:
Fillings
Fillings are used to restore areas of your child’s tooth affected by decay. Lindsey A. Robinson, DDS uses composite (tooth-colored) materials to “fill in” the surface of the tooth after all decay has been removed.
Dental Crowns on Baby Teeth
A crown is a covering that will wrap and protect the entire surface of a tooth, allowing it to look and function just like the original tooth. Crowns work to strengthen the tooth while protecting the existing structure, extending the life of the tooth longer than it would be with a filling or another restoration.
Root Canal Therapy on Baby Teeth
When a child’s tooth is in need of a root canal, the doctors at Lindsey A. Robinson DDS Pediatric and Endodontic Dentistry in Grass Valley CA will complete either a pulpotomy or pulpectomy. Both pulpotomys and pulpectomys involve removal of the decay in the tooth, and subsequent capping with a crown.
