Our Gentle Approach to Pediatric Fillings

Dr. Josh Gosnell and Dr. Robert Turner understand that dental visits can be stressful for children. We’ve created a calming and child-friendly environment. Our pediatric dental fillings process starts with a thorough exam and gentle cleaning. We use age-appropriate language to explain each step, ensuring your child feels safe and secure. Our modern composite materials require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure. The filling is carefully shaped and polished to match your child’s bite. We strive to make the experience positive and educational for children and parents. We use digital X-rays to minimize radiation exposure and employ laser dentistry for precise cavity removal.
