Despite their small size, children’s teeth (both baby and adult) play a big role. From helping your child chew to holding space for permanent teeth, they’re vital during development and adulthood.
Restorative dentistry fixes tooth damage to promote immediate and long-term oral health. After an exam and consultation, South Jersey Pediatric Dental will recommend the most appropriate treatment. We also offer sedation dentistry to help ensure a pain-free and worry-free procedure.
We offer tooth-colored crowns and fillings:
- White Crowns
Our dentist can treat severe dental decay and tooth damage using tooth-colored crowns. These white crowns can be used on both front teeth and back teeth.
They’re made of either composite or zirconia. Both types of white crowns provide an aesthetic full-coverage option compared to traditional pediatric stainless steel crowns.
- BPA-Free White Fillings (Composite Fillings) When treating children, we at South Jersey Pediatric Dental only use BPA-free composites and sealants. These materials are safer for children and adults.
BPA (AKA Bisphenol A) is a chemical frequently used in the production of plastics and resins. BPA is not directly used in dental materials; however, it is used in the synthesis of monomers that are commonly used in dental materials. Trace amounts of BPA may leach out of the resin after it is placed in the mouth, creating a small increase in BPA levels in saliva and urine.
There is evidence that certain BPA derivatives may pose health risks due to their endocrine-disrupting properties. If you have questions about BPA in dental materials, visit the AAPD or ADA websites for further information.
Our team cares about your child’s dental health and takes extra steps to reduce pain and anxiety at the dentist. Several sedation options are available, and we’ll recommend the best one for your child’s needs, plus let you know what to expect and how to prepare.
Sedation dentistry in Vineland, NJ, means better cooperation, fewer interruptions, and happier memories for kids.
- Should primary teeth be restored? If your child has signs of a cavity or a damaged tooth, it’s important to schedule a dental checkup to ensure your child is out of pain and there’s no risk of infection. Additionally, the primary tooth acts as a placeholder for the permanent one and may need to be restored to properly maintain space.

- Do dental restorations hurt? No, dental restorations for kids do not hurt. Our children’s dentist uses safe numbing agents and sedation options to ensure a painless and comfortable treatment.
- How long does a tooth restoration last? Tooth restorations can last several years, depending on the type of repair and material used.
Another important factor for the lifespan of your child’s restoration is their habits at home, including brushing, flossing, eating habits, teeth grinding, nail-biting, etc.
