Pediatric Dental Fillings
Did your child get diagnosed with a cavity at their recent check-up? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Even cavities in baby teeth need prompt attention, as many of these teeth stay in place until around age 12. Keeping baby teeth healthy is essential for your child’s overall oral development.
Dental fillings offer a quick, simple, and affordable way to treat cavities in kids. At Cohen Family Smiles, we use white, tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with both baby and adult teeth.
By treating cavities early, we help your child maintain a healthy, vibrant smile and stay on track with their oral health. Don’t wait, schedule an appointment today and give your child the gift of a cavity-free smile!
Pediatric Pulpotomies
Is your child dealing with a stubborn toothache that just won’t go away? It could be a sign that cavity-causing bacteria have reached the tooth’s nerve, but don’t worry! Our pulpotomy procedure can relieve their pain in just one visit.
Think of a pulpotomy as a “baby root canal” that stops bacteria from spreading, saving the tooth and restoring your child’s oral health. With this treatment, we help bring back their bright smile so they can keep enjoying all the laughter and carefree moments of childhood.
At Cohen Family Smiles, we’re here to provide gentle, effective care when your child needs it most.
Pediatric Dental Crowns
We know that your child’s happiness and health are what matter most, and when they face little bumps in the road, it can feel overwhelming. If your child has damaged or decayed teeth that can’t be fixed with a simple filling, pediatric dental crowns can come to the rescue.
Stainless steel crowns are a reliable, cost-effective solution that provide strong, full coverage to restore broken-down baby molars. They remain the “gold standard” for primary teeth restorations. For families seeking a more natural look, some children may also be candidates for white zirconia crowns, which offer a more esthetic option.
At Cohen Family Smiles, our expertly crafted crowns are designed to restore your child’s tiny teeth to their ideal shape and function. With dental crowns, your child can say goodbye to discomfort and enjoy a durable solution that keeps their smile bright and healthy.
Pediatric Extractions
When it comes to restoring your child’s smile, we always explore alternative treatments before considering tooth extractions. Our primary goal is to preserve and restore damaged teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, extraction is the best option to help your child get back to a healthy, comfortable smile.
At Cohen Family Smiles, your child’s comfort is our top priority. We use gentle techniques and offer sedation options when needed to ensure the extraction process is quick, pain-free, and as stress-free as possible.
Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a bright, healthy smile!
Space Maintenance
As your child grows, their baby teeth naturally fall out to make room for adult teeth. However, when baby teeth are lost too early, it can increase the risk of orthodontic issues down the road.
To help your child’s smile develop properly, we offer space maintenance, a simple, effective solution that keeps surrounding teeth from shifting and prevents misalignment as new teeth come in.
If you’re concerned about your child’s baby teeth falling out prematurely, Cohen Family Smiles is here to support you in giving your child a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
Pediatric Emergencies
When your child has a dental emergency, time is critical. Prompt care is essential to support healing and, most importantly, to relieve their pain. Whether it’s a toothache, a broken or chipped tooth, or any other issue causing discomfort, we’re here to help.
If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, don’t hesitate to call Cohen Family Smiles right away. Our team will quickly assess the situation, guide you with any necessary at-home care, and schedule an appointment as soon as possible, so your child can get back to being a happy, pain-free kid.
Pediatric Sedation
Does your child find it difficult to sit still during dental visits? Is dental anxiety making appointments stressful? We have just the solution: sedation options! Our sedation techniques help ease restlessness and anxiety, ensuring your child gets the dental care they need without pain or stress.
By keeping your little one calm and comfortable, we support them in developing a positive attitude toward dental visits and oral health. If you think sedation could benefit your child, call Cohen Family Smiles at 973-210-4910. We’ll help you find the best option tailored to their needs.
White Fillings
At Cohen Family Smiles, we offer white (composite) fillings to repair cavities and restore damaged teeth with a natural, seamless appearance. These tooth-colored fillings are made from safe, durable resin that bonds directly to the tooth, helping to strengthen and preserve your child’s natural smile without the noticeable look of silver fillings.
White fillings are a minimally invasive and long-lasting solution tailored for pediatric dental care. They require less removal of healthy tooth structure and are custom-matched to your child’s natural tooth color. Our gentle, kid-friendly team in Yorktown Heights, NY, ensures your child stays comfortable during treatment, using calming techniques to reduce fear and discomfort. Protecting your child’s oral health, and their confidence, is always our priority.
Pediatric Crowns
At Cohen Family Smiles, we understand how important it is to protect your child’s teeth and maintain a healthy, confident smile. When a baby tooth is too damaged by decay or injury for a filling, a pediatric crown offers a strong, safe, and effective solution. These custom-fit caps restore the tooth’s shape and function, helping to prevent further damage while maintaining space for the permanent tooth to come in properly.
Our crowns are made from durable materials like stainless steel or tooth-colored resin, chosen based on your child’s needs. They help preserve bite alignment, protect against future decay, and blend naturally for a comfortable, long-lasting result. At our Yorktown Heights office, we provide gentle, kid-friendly care to ensure your child feels at ease throughout the treatment process.
Baby Root Canal
At Cohen Family Smiles, we prioritize preserving your child’s natural teeth whenever possible. When decay or injury affects a baby tooth’s nerve, baby root canal therapy (also called pulpotomy or pulpectomy) is a safe and effective way to save the tooth and prevent premature tooth loss. This treatment removes infected pulp, relieves pain, and maintains the tooth’s function until it naturally falls out, helping to avoid future issues with adult teeth alignment.
Our experienced team in Yorktown Heights, NY, provides gentle, child-friendly care using advanced technology to ensure a comfortable experience. Pediatric root canal therapy often requires a protective crown afterward to safeguard the tooth. With timely treatment, your child’s tooth can stay healthy and strong, supporting proper oral development and preventing complications from early tooth loss.
Dental Bonding
At Cohen Family Smiles, we understand that damaged front teeth can impact both your child’s smile and confidence. For chipped or fractured permanent teeth, especially common in adolescents, dental bonding offers a quick, minimally invasive way to restore tooth shape, strength, and appearance using tooth-colored resin. This painless procedure preserves healthy tooth structure without drilling and provides natural-looking, lasting results.
Our caring pediatric dental team in Yorktown Heights, NY ensures your child feels comfortable throughout the bonding process. Using high-quality materials and gentle techniques, we help your child regain a beautiful smile quickly and effectively. If your child has a chipped tooth, contact us today to schedule a dental bonding consultation.
Pediatric Extractions
At Cohen Family Smiles, we specialize in gentle pediatric tooth extractions to safely remove severely decayed or problematic teeth in children. Whether a tooth cannot be restored or needs removal for orthodontic reasons, our experienced team ensures your child’s comfort throughout the procedure. We commonly use local anesthesia and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to minimize pain and anxiety, making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Located in Yorktown Heights, NY, our caring dentists focus on creating a positive dental experience tailored to your child’s needs. If your child requires a tooth extraction, contact us to schedule a consultation and receive a personalized treatment plan that prioritizes their oral health and well-being. Recovery is typically quick, with simple post-care instructions to support healing and comfort.
