When it comes to dentistry for kids, restorative treatment includes fillings, crowns, and other treatment to create a healthy, functioning mouth.

For small cavities, a white filling will work well to restore function. For bigger, deeper, or more extensive cavities, a silver crown may be a better treatment. Crowns are different from old school silver fillings: they are made from a surgical stainless steel, and have no mercury. There are also more esthetic options for front teeth. Crowns are a great treatment choice for a durable restoration that will last until the baby tooth falls out.

For younger patients that can’t sit still yet there are other treatment options Dr. Olsen will discuss with you.
