Protecting your child’s most important asset – their smile

If your child has damage to their teeth including chips and cracks we will work fast to repair the damage. Often, we can use porcelain veneers that match the natural color of your child’s tooth to restore their smile to their former glory. These veneers integrate seamlessly and no one will be able to tell the difference from their existing teeth.

Occasionally, these dental emergencies can cause an entire or multiple teeth to be lost! If a primary or baby tooth is lost, it will be replaced in time with a permanent tooth. However, we will still want to ensure no other damage has been caused to the jawline or other teeth. If a permanent tooth is lost, don’t worry. We still have options for replacement.

Depending on the tooth in question, we may be able to fix the gap with creative bridgework. Bridgework can seamlessly fill in any gap created by the accident. You should know that bridgework doesn’t appear as seamless as a natural tooth. If you want a seamless replacement, then dental implants might be the best course of action.

Dental implants are often more expensive than bridgework, however, your child will not be able to tell the difference between the implant and their natural teeth. Implants work by surgically grafting a metal rod into their jaw and fitting the dental implant over it. Often the implants are custom created, so they closely resemble the tooth that was lost.

When a dental emergency happens the last thing, you want to worry about is the bill. Taylorsville Pediatric Dentistry accepts most major insurance providers and offers flexible payment options for expenses not covered by insurance. Don’t let a dental emergency slow your kids down.
