Our Procedures

Checkup & Cleaning

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, we recommend regular dental check-ups every 4–6 months to keep your child’s smile healthy. Each visit includes a full exam, gentle cleaning, fluoride treatment, and x-rays if needed. We also share helpful tips for maintaining good oral hygiene at home.

Dental Fillings

We address dental concerns with tailored solutions. Minor cavities or those found on front teeth are often treated using white composite fillings, while more substantial cavities affecting back teeth and molars may require stainless steel caps. These caps offer added protection, particularly for permanent teeth, safeguarding them from potential future problems. We advise maintaining your child’s oral hygiene by promptly cleaning their teeth after snacks and meals, reducing the likelihood of requiring dental fillings.

Sports Guards

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, If your child is involved in a contact sport, ensuring the safety of their teeth, gums, and smile becomes paramount. Kick off with a personalized mouth guard from us – it’s the ideal first step for comprehensive protection. Our meticulously crafted mouth guards offer a snug fit and are available in a range of vibrant colors.

Dental Sedation

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, we understand that children can sometimes be apprehensive. That’s why we take pride in offering dental sedation to ensure both you and your child feel more at ease during the various dental procedures we provide.

Dental Sealants

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, where we offer a dental solution known as sealants. These protective coatings are skillfully applied to the indentations of teeth, mainly targeting molars aged 6 years and above. By effectively barring food particles from lodging in the fissures and depressions of your child’s teeth, our sealants play a crucial role in cavity prevention. This straightforward and gentle procedure ensures your child’s comfort while safeguarding their oral health.

Space Maintainer

At Smilez Dentistry on Tomken, we understand the vital functions of baby teeth prior to their natural shedding. Among their crucial responsibilities, one is to preserve adequate space for the eventual growth of permanent teeth. In instances where a baby tooth is prematurely lost, our practice may recommend the use of an appliance or a specialized “spacer” to guarantee the optimal alignment and unhindered eruption of adult teeth.
