Children's Dental Fillings & Crowns in Chevy Chase, MD

Treating Smiles with Compassionate Care

At Metropolitan Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that sometimes, despite our best efforts, children may need restorative dental care. Our restorative care services are designed to repair and maintain oral health, ensuring that every young smile is as healthy and vibrant as possible. Here’s an overview of our restorative care approach and the services we offer:

Why Restorative Care is Important

  • Addressing dental issues promptly ensures your child’s oral health and overall comfort.
  • Early restoration can prevent more serious problems down the line.
  • Proper care supports the healthy development of your child’s teeth, jaw, and mouth.

Our Restorative Care Services

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth.
  • Dental Crowns: When a tooth is severely damaged, a crown can protect and restore it to its normal function.
  • Pulp Therapy: Also known as a “baby root canal,” this treatment is used to treat the affected nerve of a decayed tooth.
  • Space Maintainers: If a primary tooth is lost prematurely, a space maintainer can help ensure proper spacing for permanent teeth.
