Fillings or Restorations
At Nickel Pediatric Dentistry we take a very conservative approach to treating decay while also considering the psychological and emotional factors associated with treating young children. Most of the time we will be able to restore teeth with a tooth-colored bonded composite material. Teeth that have more advanced decay will require a full coverage restoration or stainless steel crown. Before your child’s treatment begins, Dr. Nickel will discuss all options and help you choose the best filling for your child’s particular case.
