Crowns
Crowns, or "caps," are used when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling alone. They provide added strength and protection, particularly for teeth undergoing extensive decay or trauma. Our team uses high-quality materials to create crowns that look and feel like natural teeth, ensuring your child’s smile remains bright and beautiful. Crowns are carefully fitted over the affected tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function. This treatment is ideal for preserving a tooth that might need to be removed, helping maintain your child’s oral health and natural smile.
Fillings
Fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments we provide, used to repair small cavities and prevent further decay. At Parish Pediatric Dental Krewe, we offer both tooth-colored composite and traditional fillings, depending on the needs and preferences of your child. Our skilled dentists will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a durable material that matches the natural color of your child’s teeth. This quick and comfortable procedure helps restore the tooth’s function and appearance, allowing your child to chew and smile confidently.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
SDF is a powerful and non-invasive treatment that can help prevent cavities from worsening without drilling or filling. This makes it an excellent option for young children who may not be ready to sit through traditional dental treatments. SDF works by halting the progression of decay and can often delay the need for more advanced care until your child is older and can tolerate in-office procedures. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, SDF is a safe and effective option for managing cavities in young patients.
Hall Crown Technique (HT)
HT is a less invasive option for treating cavities in primary molars. This method places a stainless steel crown (SSC) over a decayed tooth without needing local anesthesia, drilling, or removing the cavity itself. This approach can be especially beneficial for children with difficulty cooperating during more invasive treatments. The Hall technique helps reduce discomfort by eliminating the need for anesthetics or extensive procedures, making it a great choice when traditional methods aren't feasible. Research suggests that HT can effectively manage cavities in baby teeth, though ongoing studies compare its long-term outcomes to traditional treatments.
