Fillings For Kids In New Orleans, LA

White Crowns

Dental crowns, which have been used successfully for many decades, are tooth-shaped covers or caps placed over damaged teeth that have been specially prepared by a dentist to accept the crown. Traditionally, crowns were made from durable metal and required multiple trips to the dentist because they were made in a separate facility.

If your child needs a crown, and you prefer the most pleasant appearance combined with the most convenient option available, please ask us about our white crowns.

White Fillings

If your child develops a cavity or tooth decay, it will need to be treated so that the damaged area doesn’t grow larger and spread to other areas of the tooth. After inspecting the troubled tooth and determining the type of damage that is present and the appropriate treatment,

Dr. Kris will need to gently administer a numbing medication to the mouth near the affected tooth to prevent any pain or discomfort during the treatment. Then he will use specialized tools to remove the damaged portion of the tooth. Finally, he will replace the portion of the tooth that has been removed with a filling.

Overall Benefits

Durable

We gladly offer durable, long-lasting white crowns and white fillings for our patients.

As a leader in healthcare and a nurse, I am familiar with these settings but having my 20 month old require a procedure with IV sedation was very anxiety provoking. Dr. Norbo’s team was phenomenal. Every moment we experienced - from coming in for a consult to the phone calls in between to the early morning of the procedure and follow up after - this team has patient experience and excellence down pat. The intentionality, the kindness, and the quality were well above my expectations. Thank you isnt enough!

Our son is usually leery about going to new places but he had an amazing time at the dentist office. The dentist and all of his staff are amazing. We are so grateful to have been referred to them to help our son. He is unable to do X-rays because of his gag reflex and then he has teeth that we need to get checked. They came up with an action plan and we are in the process of getting things taken care of. If you have a child who has been diagnosed with autism or any other exceptionality, give them a try.

Understanding Pediatric Dental Crowns

Pediatric dental crowns are essential for restoring the function and aesthetics of damaged teeth in children. These crowns are designed to cover and protect teeth that are severely decayed or have undergone significant damage, ensuring that the child can continue to eat and speak normally.

There are various types of crowns available, including stainless steel, porcelain, and resin, each offering different benefits. Stainless steel crowns are especially durable and are often used for molars, while porcelain crowns provide a more natural appearance for front teeth. The choice of crown depends on the specific needs of the child and the location of the affected tooth.

The Importance of White Fillings

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a popular choice for treating cavities in children's teeth due to their aesthetic appeal and functionality. Unlike traditional metal fillings, white fillings blend seamlessly with the natural tooth color, making them an ideal option for front teeth where appearance is crucial.

In addition to their cosmetic benefits, white fillings are made from durable materials that can withstand the chewing forces of children. They are also less likely to expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of tooth fracture. Regular dental check-ups can help ensure that these fillings remain effective and intact.

Choosing the Right Dental Treatment for Your Child

Selecting the appropriate dental treatment for your child can be challenging, especially when it comes to deciding between crowns and fillings. Factors such as the extent of tooth decay, the location of the affected tooth, and your child's dental health history should guide your decision.

Consulting with a pediatric dentist like Dr. Kris at NOLA Pediatric Dentistry can provide valuable insights into the best treatment options. The dentist can assess your child's specific situation and recommend the most suitable solution, ensuring that your child's dental needs are met effectively and compassionately.

Maintaining Oral Health After Dental Procedures

After your child receives dental crowns or fillings, maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial for ensuring the longevity of these treatments. Encouraging regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental visits, can help prevent further decay and complications.

Parents should also monitor their child's eating habits, avoiding overly sticky or hard foods that could damage dental work. Educating children about the importance of oral health and establishing a consistent dental care routine can foster healthy habits that last a lifetime.
