PEDIATRIC RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Children's teeth are resilient but still vulnerable to decay and physical injury. Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing structural damage to bring the tooth back to full health. We prioritize conservative treatments that preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Prompt restoration prevents the spread of infections and ensures your child can chew and speak without pain.
Safe and Effective Restorative Treatments
We use highly advanced, biocompatible materials for every procedure. Our team walks you through the exact diagnosis and explains why a specific treatment is the safest medical option for your child.
BPA-Free Composites (Fillings)
Cavities are the most common childhood dental issue. We remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the space with a durable composite resin. Our clinic exclusively uses BPA-free, tooth-colored materials. This ensures a safe, non-toxic repair that blends seamlessly with your child's natural smile.

White Crowns
When a cavity becomes too large for a standard filling, a pediatric dental crown is the most effective way to restore and protect your child’s tooth. Severe decay or dental trauma can weaken the remaining tooth structure, making full coverage essential for long-term strength and function.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, we place zirconia white pediatric crowns to fully restore damaged teeth, protect against further breakdown, and allow your child to chew comfortably again. These crowns provide durable, full-coverage protection while maintaining a natural, aesthetic appearance, supporting the primary tooth until the permanent tooth develops underneath and helping prevent future infection or complications.

Stainless Steel Crowns
When a cavity becomes too large for a traditional dental filling, a stainless steel crown is the most effective solution. Severe tooth decay or dental trauma can weaken the structure of a primary tooth, requiring full coverage protection.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, we use durable stainless steel crowns to restore strength, function, and longevity. These pediatric crowns fully protect the tooth, allowing your child to chew comfortably while preserving space for the developing permanent tooth underneath. Stainless steel crowns are a safe, reliable, and long-lasting option for treating extensive cavities in children.

Hall Crowns
Hall crowns are a minimally invasive treatment used to manage cavities in primary (baby) teeth without the need for drilling or numbing. This technique involves placing a stainless steel crown over the affected tooth to seal out bacteria and stop the progression of decay. By isolating the cavity, Hall crowns allow the tooth to remain functional while preventing further damage.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, Hall crowns are an excellent option for children who may feel anxious about traditional dental procedures. This approach is quick, comfortable, and highly effective in preserving natural tooth structure. Hall crowns help maintain proper spacing for adult teeth, support normal chewing function, and reduce the risk of more extensive treatment in the future.
Baby Root Canals (Pulpotomy)
Deep decay can reach the inner nerve center of a baby tooth. This causes significant pain and risks serious infection. A pulpotomy removes the infected nerve tissue from the crown of the tooth while leaving the healthy root intact.
We treat the area with a soothing medication and seal it with a crown. This saves the tooth from premature extraction and instantly relieves your child's discomfort.
Space Maintainers
Baby teeth serve as essential guides for permanent teeth, helping ensure proper alignment as your child grows. When a baby tooth is lost too early due to decay, trauma, or extraction, the surrounding teeth can shift into the empty space, blocking the adult tooth from erupting correctly and leading to crowding or orthodontic complications.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, we place custom space maintainers—made from durable metal or acrylic—to preserve the space and support healthy dental development. This simple, preventive appliance helps guide proper eruption, reduce the risk of misalignment, and minimize the need for more complex orthodontic treatment in the future. For front teeth or visible areas, we also offer fixed pediatric pedo partial appliances to restore your child’s smile and confidence while maintaining proper spacing.
We always prioritize saving your child’s natural tooth whenever possible. However, in cases of severe dental trauma, advanced infection, or significant crowding, a pediatric tooth extraction may be the safest and most effective treatment.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, we perform gentle extractions with a strong focus on comfort, using child-centered techniques to ensure a calm, positive experience. Our team provides clear, detailed aftercare instructions to support fast healing, reduce discomfort, and minimize disruption to your child’s daily routine, while also protecting long-term oral development.

Curodont
Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is an advanced, non-invasive treatment for early cavities and white spot lesions, designed to naturally rebuild enamel without drilling or anesthesia.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, we use Curodont for early-stage tooth decay (E1/E2 lesions) and post-orthodontic white spots, helping reverse damage before it becomes a cavity. This biomimetic technology supports enamel regeneration, improves esthetics, and is ideal for children, teens, and families seeking preventive, minimally invasive dental care. Curodont is quick, painless, and highly effective for early lesions, but it is not indicated once decay has progressed into the dentin or when cavitation is present.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a safe, minimally invasive cavity treatment offered at Tiny Tooth Co.® that helps stop tooth decay without the need for drilling or anesthesia. This powerful liquid combines silver to eliminate cavity-causing bacteria and fluoride to strengthen and remineralize enamel, making it an excellent option for young children, early-stage cavities (ICDAS 1–2), and patients with a high risk of decay. SDF treatment is quick, painless, and cost-effective, and can often delay or prevent the need for more extensive procedures like fillings or crowns. It’s important to note that treated areas will darken or turn black, which is a normal and expected sign that the cavity has been successfully arrested.

ICON
Resin Infiltration
ICON resin infiltration is a minimally invasive dental treatment used to stop early cavities and treat white spot lesions without drilling or numbing, making it an ideal option for kids.
At Tiny Tooth Co.®, we use ICON to target early-stage decay (E1/E2 lesions) by gently infiltrating and sealing weakened enamel, preventing the cavity from progressing while preserving natural tooth structure. This quick and comfortable treatment not only helps avoid traditional fillings but also improves the appearance of white spots, especially after braces. While ICON is highly effective for early lesions, deeper cavities may still require restorative care, and our team will always recommend treatment based on your child’s needs—not what insurance covers—so you can feel confident you’re getting the most conservative and appropriate care.
A Comfortable Healing Environment
Dental anxiety is a normal response for both parents and children facing a restorative procedure. We actively manage this through clear communication and a calm, clinical environment.
Pacing the procedure: We never rush. We move at a speed that keeps your child relaxed.
Transparent communication: We explain what we are doing in child-friendly terms before we do it.
Pain management: We utilize highly effective local anesthetics to ensure the treated area is completely numb before any work begins.
