What Is Pediatric Restorative Dentistry?

Pediatric restorative dentistry focuses on bringing back the natural function, structure, and aesthetics of your child’s teeth. Whether due to decay, injury, or structural issues, restorative treatments help ensure that your child maintains a healthy bite, proper speech development, and a radiant smile.

At Great Grins, we’re committed to the highest standards of care for our youngest patients. Our gentle and experienced pediatric dentists partner with you to develop customized treatment plans designed to meet your child’s specific needs.

Common Pediatric Restorative Dentistry Services

We provide advanced restorative dentistry services in both Portland and Oregon City, ensuring your child receives the care they need in a warm, welcoming environment. Some of the most common pediatric restorative treatments we offer include:
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dental cavities are one of the most common childhood dental issues. Our tooth-colored fillings are made from safe, durable composite resin and are designed to blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth. These fillings are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
Pediatric Crowns

For teeth with more extensive damage or decay, we offer pediatric crowns. These crowns help restore the tooth’s shape, size, and functionality. If your child has a baby tooth that needs reinforcement, a crown can prevent further damage while preserving the tooth until it naturally falls out.

Pulp Therapy

Sometimes, a tooth’s interior, including the pulp or nerve tissue, may be affected due to severe cavities or trauma. We provide gentle pulp therapy, also referred to as a “baby root canal,” to save the tooth and stop further complications, such as infection.

Space Maintainers

When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, the neighboring teeth can drift into the space, causing alignment issues. Space maintainers are small, comfortable devices that prevent these issues and ensure proper development until the adult tooth emerges.

Dental Bonding

Accidental chips or minor damage to teeth can affect both function and appearance. Dental bonding allows us to restore damaged teeth using a specialized material that bonds seamlessly with natural enamel.

Parent Testimonials

I've now taken my daughter two times for pretty extensive work on her teeth. I don't have a single negative thing I could say about this place. In fact, the two dentists, and multiple assistants that have worked with my kiddo have reversed her fear of going to the dentist! The entire staff is amazing, and the accommodations are incredible!!

Gentle Care to Save Infected Baby or Permanent Teeth

Restoring Your Child's Smile

Fillings

Fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by cavities, helping to prevent further decay. We use tooth-colored materials that blend naturally with your child’s smile for a discreet solution.

Tooth Pulps & Root Canals

If the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or damaged, a root canal may be needed to save the tooth. This procedure removes the infection and seals the tooth to restore its function.

Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged to repair, an extraction may be necessary. We ensure a comfortable process with care and provide guidance for proper recovery afterward.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your child’s smile. We offer professional treatments that are gentle yet powerful for a sparkling, confident look.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing teeth, helping restore function and appearance. They’re designed to fit comfortably and securely, giving your child a fuller smile.

Pediatric Dental Crowns

Pediatric dental crowns are used to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. They restore both function and appearance, ensuring your child’s tooth stays healthy and strong.
