Information About Pediatric Dentist Services

We specialize in comprehensive pediatric dentistry for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, to establish good dental health early in life.

Routine dental exams allow us to screen for oral conditions that may affect your child, such as cavities, bite problems, and delayed tooth eruption.

Dental cleanings at LPDA help to improve oral hygiene and prevent decay by removing plaque, tartar, and stain accumulation from your child's teeth.

As a preventive procedure, sealants are thin plastic covers placed over the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help prevent cavities from forming.

Generally provided during dental cleaning and exam visits, fluoride treatments help protect your child's teeth against the development of tooth decay.

Digital x-rays provide a clear, detailed view of your child's teeth and jaw, allowing us to screen for decay, orthodontic needs, and other oral needs.

An intraoral camera is a highly diagnostic, pen-like tool we use to take live images of the mouth to aid in diagnosing and treating dental conditions.

Our DIAGNOdent laser cavity detector allows us to identify cavities in the early stages. By doing so, we can often treat decay more conservatively.

When teeth cannot be saved or must be removed to enhance proper eruption, our skilled pediatric dentists perform gentle tooth extraction procedures.

Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) is common during childhood. Our team offers night guards and other solutions to protect against its effects.

As pediatric specialists, we provide prompt emergency dental care for broken or knocked-out teeth, jaw injuries, toothaches, and other urgent needs.

At LPDA, we offer sedation dentistry options to relieve dental anxiety or fear and help your child develop a positive association with dental visits.

Our pediatric dental specialists offer several types of oral appliances to enhance function, improve oral health, and protect your child's smile.

Because the jawbones and teeth are still in development, early ortho treatments help diagnose any dental problems to help adult teeth grow properly.

Orthodontic treatment in the teenage years is a great time to treat teeth misalignment and other jaw issues during this rapid development phase.

3D impressions take detailed digital imaging of your mouth and teeth so we can create custom-fit appliances and monitor changes in your oral health.

If a baby tooth is lost too early, space maintainers hold open a space in the arch as a new adult tooth erupts and helps prevent misalignment.

Palatal expanders help widen the upper arch for children, provide space for the adult teeth to come in properly, and assist or proper oral function.

Caused by a misaligned bite or mismatched jaws, malocclusion can create crooked teeth and bite problems, which require braces or Spark aligners.

Retainers keep your smile straight and beautiful after completing your metal braces or Spark™ (Ormco) aligners, which help your overall oral health.

Metal braces use archwires, colorful bands, and brackets to help straighten the teeth, remove gaps, and improve bite alignment for a stunning smile.
