Fillings
When the decay is removed from a tooth, it is replaced with "filling" material. Fillings play an important role in maintaining your child's health. Unfilled cavities never go away and get bigger with time. We offer two options for filling your child's cavities at Silver Star Dental: Amalgam (silver) filings or Tooth-Colored fillings. With tooth-colored fillings, your child can now benefit from having fillings to flawlessly match their existing teeth, giving them a brilliant, whiter smile!
Tooth Extraction
Keeping your child's teeth is the best and preferred solution. In the instance that a tooth has too much damage to be repaired, it may be recommended to extract the tooth. Postponing or forgoing a recommended tooth extraction may lead to complications, pain, and additional costs. To ensure your child is comfortable throughout their extraction, Dr. Hsu offers many methods of anesthesia and sedation. Feel confident that your child will be comfortable and relaxed as their extraction is done, in office, by a dental team they are familiar with.
Sports Mouthguards
If your child plays sports or other similar activities, mouth guards are a great way to protect them from concussions and their teeth from potential injury. They are easy to clean, come in many color combinations and are custom made to fit comfortably in your child's mouth.
Crowns
A crown may be needed if your child's tooth is destroyed to a degree that there is little of the tooth remaining or if your child is at high risk for future tooth decay. This type of damage can be caused by decay, trauma, or poor development. Crowns will help your child to chew food properly, allow normal speech development, and assist with preserving tooth structure. Both Tooth-Colored and Silver Crowns are available.
