Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  At Ashburn Children’s Dentistry our pediatric dentists believe that prevention is always better than treatment. By actively preventing disease and decay through regular at-home care, professional dental cleanings, and regular exams, your child can maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Effective prevention efforts can also help you avoid paying costly treatments in the future to remove decay, restore teeth, and treat gum disease. Regular prevention is truly your best investment for a long-lasting, beautiful smile and optimal oral health.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  Our composite resin is tooth-colored for a strong bond and natural look. We can restore small to medium sized cavities, repair fractured teeth due to injury or trauma, improve imperfections in the smile, or even change the size and shape of the teeth. Your children will enjoy natural, healthy, and beautiful smiles with laser dentistry and composite fillings.
• Veneers
  We are pleased to offer Lumineers to our pediatric patients in Ashburn, because it is far less invasive and stressful than applying veneers.
• Crowns
  When a child has a large crack in a tooth or needs a sizable filling, a dental crown can protect their tooth and restore their ability to chew normally, without pain or further damage to the tooth.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding
  Dental stains and tooth discoloration can have a variety of causes, and at Ashburn Children’s Dentistry we offer treatments that can help your child achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Whether he or she is struggling with a single discolored tooth or general yellowing of the entire smile, our dentists can provide an effective solution. For suitable candidates we offer in-office whitening and consistently get amazing results! We also perform other cosmetic treatments that can address deeper staining and discoloration that cannot be adequately resolved with bleaching techniques, such as cosmetic bonding and dental veneers. Please ask about our whitening treatments and other cosmetic options at your next appointment.

An infected tooth will not heal on its own and will only get worse. Without a pulpotomy, the tooth may need to be taken out.
