Full-coverage crowns are dental restorations that completely encase a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength.

Pulp therapy, also known as root canal treatment in adults, is a procedure to save an infected or damaged tooth by removing the inflamed pulp, disinfecting the area, and sealing it. This treatment relieves pain, prevents infection, and preserves the tooth. In children, pulp therapy is often used to maintain primary teeth until they naturally fall out.
painless extractions
when necessary. If a primary tooth is lost prematurely, our space maintainers ensure the permanent teeth have room to grow properly aligned. Each dental treatment procedure is delivered with the utmost care, and we take the time to discuss all available options with parents so they feel informed and confident in their child’s dental care plan. You might explore research on the long-term benefits of early dental interventions for further insights into the types of dental restorations. Painless extractions involve removing teeth using advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia numbs the area, and sedation may be available for anxious patients. This procedure addresses decay, crowding, or impacted teeth, providing a smooth and comfortable experience.
