Consultation and Evaluation

One of our dentists will begin by thoroughly examining your child’s teeth and discussing the best options for treatment. We’ll make sure to explain every step to keep your child at ease.

Filling Placement

Once a local anesthetic is applied, the decayed part of the tooth is carefully removed. The filling is then placed, shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth, and hardened.

Final Check and Care Instructions

After the filling is set, our team will check your child’s bite to ensure everything feels natural. We’ll provide care instructions to help maintain the filling’s longevity and your child’s overall dental health.
