Restorative Care at Alamo Ranch Children's Dentistry & Braces

Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative procedures used to treat cavities and restore the integrity of a tooth. We use tooth-colored composite resin to fill cavities, ensuring a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the affected area, and filling it with the composite material to restore its shape and function.

Tooth extractions are necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with other restorative treatments. This procedure involves removing the tooth from its socket in the bone. While we aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, extractions are sometimes the best option to maintain overall oral health.

Dental crowns are used to cover and protect a tooth that has been significantly damaged by decay, injury, or a large filling. Crowns are custom-made to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, providing both durability and aesthetics. They are placed over the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its strength and appearance while protecting it from further damage

Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes infected or inflamed. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and filling it with a special material to seal it. A crown is often placed over the tooth to restore its strength and function. Root canal therapy can save a severely damaged tooth and prevent the need for extraction.
