restorative dental care for kids in petaluma

At Petaluma Pediatric Dentistry, we offer expert restorative dental treatments to help repair cavities, damaged teeth, or other dental issues—always with a gentle, kid-friendly approach. Whether your child needs a small filling or a crown, we make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and supported every step of the way.

restorative care matters:

Baby teeth are important for eating, speaking, and holding space for adult teeth. Untreated cavities can cause pain, infection, and damage to permanent teeth.

How we safely and comfortably provide children’s dentistry:

  • Tell-Show-Do: Explaining each step in kid-friendly terms

  • Distraction: Ceiling TVs, headphones, and storytelling make visits fun

  • Child-friendly Environment: Our office is fun and friendly! From video games to prizes, kids love coming to our office

  • Some children need extra support to feel comfortable at the dentist. That’s where sedation dentistry helps

    • Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”): Reduce anxiety and helps time pass quickly

    • In-Office General Anesthesia: An anesthesiologist safely administers and monitors sedation while Dr. Ray completes treatment

What is restorative dentistry:

When a tooth is affected by cavities or trauma, restorative treatments restore its normal shape and function.

Our Pediatric Dental Services:

  • White Resin Fillings and White Crowns (Composite): Natural-looking and esthetic

  • Pulpotomy (“Kiddie Root Canal”): Treats infected or exposed nerve tissue, prevents abscesses, and preserves the tooth

  • Stainless Steel Crowns: Protects teeth with large cavities or fractures

  • Extractions: Safely removes severely damaged, infected, over-retained teeth or teeth causing crowding

  • Space Maintainers: Holds space for permanent teeth after premature tooth loss
