What is Children's Restorative Care?
Restorative dentistry acts like a shield, protecting your child’s tooth! Dr. Nair, a board-certified pediatric dentist in Virginia Beach, uses kid-friendly language and gentle techniques to make cavity treatment a breeze. Our digital x-rays and child-specific equipment ensure precise, comfortable care, while our team's playful approach helps turn dental visits into positive adventures.
Benefits of Early Restoration
Early treatment offers lasting benefits for your child's smile:
- Prevent Progression: Early cavity treatment stops decay from spreading deeper into the tooth or to neighboring teeth, protecting your child's long-term oral health.
- Maintain Development: Preserving baby teeth helps guide permanent teeth into proper position and supports healthy jaw development.
- Build Confidence: Comfortable treatments help children develop positive associations with dental care.
- Protect Function: Restored teeth allow proper chewing, speaking, and confident smiling.
Our Child-Centered Treatment Process
Every restoration begins with understanding your child's unique needs. We take time to explain procedures using age-appropriate terms and demonstrate tools before treatment begins. Our team uses gentle techniques combined with behavior guidance to ensure your child feels secure throughout their visit. Parents remain informed and involved in every step of their child's care plan.
Available Restorative Options
At Building Smiles, we provide comprehensive restorative solutions, including tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth. For more extensive decay, we offer stainless steel crowns and aesthetic zirconia crowns that protect and strengthen damaged teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. When needed, we provide nitrous oxide sedation to help anxious children relax during treatment.

Our team uses positive reinforcement, tell-show-do techniques, and plenty of encouragement to help children feel proud of their dental achievements. We celebrate every successful treatment, turning cavity care into an opportunity for growth and learning.
