Pediatric Dental Fillings

Tooth-Colored Fillings for Kids

At A.L.L. About Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we're committed to providing the best dental care for your little ones. Our composite fillings are a game-changer in pediatric dentistry. We use tooth-colored, mercury-free materials that blend seamlessly with natural teeth. Say goodbye to noticeable silver fillings! Our approach isn't just about fixing cavities; it's about restoring smiles in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible.

For the procedure, Dr. André L. Lewis will place a topical gel on the gum area where the injection for the local anesthetic will be done. If the child is very young or nervous, he may use nitrous oxide before giving the injection. The decayed area of they tooth will be gently removed and replaced with composite resin filling material. The tooth will then be polished and checked for proper occlusion (fit between the upper and lower teeth). Here's what we offer:

• Composite resin fillings
• Tooth-colored restorations
• Mercury-free materials
• Gentle decay removal

In addition to:

• Proper occlusion checks
• Topical gel for comfort
• Nitrous oxide option
• Local anesthetic administration
