Life’s little surprises can sometimes affect our smiles, and children are especially prone to unexpected dental issues. Despite the best efforts in oral hygiene and preventative dentistry, your kid might need restorative dental care at some point.
At Clover Hills Dentistry, Dr. Alexander Ochoa Falla provides respite and recovery when something goes wrong with a tooth and can prevent further damage from happening. If your child experiences a cavity or broken tooth, our Mission pediatric dentistry team is ready to help them return their smile to perfect health.
Nobody wants their child to feel uncomfortable or lose the sparkle in their smile. Unfortunately, dental decay or damage can impact your kid’s mood, appearance, and health.
Dr. Ochoa offers pediatric restorative dentistry services focused on repairing teeth so your kid’s pearly whites look and function as they should. We can create a more balanced smile so your child looks and feels their best.
Taking care of children’s oral health is a shared priority among parents and our pediatric dental team. Unfortunately, cavities and trauma are a reality for many young children. Fortunately, Clover Hills Dentistry offers restorative dental treatments designed to bring tiny teeth back to their normal shape and function.
Every child’s case is unique. Still, some of the most common restorative treatments that Dr. Ochoa performs include:
If your kid has slight damage or decay, a metal-free dental filling can prevent further destruction and keep your child’s smile looking bright and healthy. Dr. Ochoa will gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the space with a tooth-colored resin. The tooth-filling procedure is quick and painless, resulting in a restored tooth that looks and functions like before.
When a dental filling is insufficient to repair a tooth, Dr. Ochoa might recommend a dental crown. Dental crowns are custom restorations that can return a tooth’s structure, strength, and aesthetics after extensive decay or damage.
Similar to a root canal for adults, pulp therapy is a procedure that involves removing the damaged nerve and tissue inside the tooth. While this treatment might seem frightening at first, our experienced pediatric dentist has performed many pulp therapy treatments and ensures that young patients feel as comfortable as possible.
Restorative dentistry can grant much-needed relief to kids. If your child has tooth decay or damage that needs to be addressed, call 956-997-9799 or send us a short message online to the Clover Hills Dentistry team. Dr. Ochoa can discuss your child’s restorative treatment options so you can feel confident that you’ve made the right choice for their situation.
