What is restorative pediatric dentistry?

The benefits of restorative pediatric dentistry
With restorative care we're going more than fixing a problem. These treatments help ensure your child’s smile stays healthy and strong for years to come. By addressing concerns early, we can prevent bigger problems down the road and keep your child’s smile on track for the future.
Protect against further damage
By addressing cavities or damage early, we prevent the problem from getting worse, saving you time and money in the long run.

Restorative treatments like fillings and crowns help restore your child’s teeth to their original strength, making sure they’re ready for whatever comes next.

Our restorative pediatric dentistry treatments
Fillings are the most common restorative treatment for cavities. At Giggles & Grins, we use tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your child’s smile. These fillings are quick, easy, and provide long-lasting protection against further damage. We also take the time to make sure your child feels comfortable throughout the process, using gentle techniques and distractions to keep them at ease.
If a tooth has significant damage or decay, we may recommend a crown. Our crowns are designed to fit your child’s smile perfectly. With our gentle, patient-centered approach, kids love leaving the office with their new, healthy smile.
If your child loses a tooth too early, a space maintainer may be needed to keep the remaining teeth from shifting into the open space. This simple device ensures that your child’s teeth will come in properly and at the right time. It’s a small solution that can prevent a lot of future dental problems.
For lots kids, the idea of dental treatment or procedure can be a little overwhelming. That’s why we offer sedation options to make restorative procedures as easy and stress-free as possible. Whether it's a minor filling or more complex work, we tailor our approach to suit your child's needs.

What parents are saying
We love Giggles and Grins. Our family has gone to this pediatric dentist for over 16 years. We have always been greeted with a smile and treated like family. We highly recommend this dentist office.
My daughters (4 and 9) LOVE Giggles and Grins. While most kids say “we have to go to the dentist”, my kids are always asking, “when do we GET to go back to the dentist?” The staff is amazing and my daughters have a fabulous and fun experience every time they’re there! I highly recommend Giggles and Grins! :)
Today our 3 year old went back all by himself for the first time! X-rays, cleaning, and fluoride. He did amazing. My now 8 year old daughter has been going to Giggles and Grins since she was 3. We love our pediatric dentist! Always friendly, clean, professional, and really takes the time to get to know their patients.
We love everyone at the office. My daughter is always excited to go see Dr C. She always comes out smiling. I would recommend this practice to anyone who wants their child to be in great hands of people to truly care about their patients.
My boys love going to Giggles and Grins. We started our appointments when we lived in Fort Worth, we drove 45 minutes for our dental visits, it was worth every minute. Now we are closer, we still love it. Everyone is courteous and professional. They work with school schedules and the absolutely know how to work with kiddos. The goodie bag at the end of every visit is a nice touch.
G&G took such amazing care of my 4 year old! She had fillings done and they went over and above what was discussed in our initial consultation. We are cash paying and they worked with me to be able to pay for this and I’m very thankful for them. My daughter enjoyed her visits and looks forward to them! That makes a mommas heart happy. Thank you!
My experience here has been nothing below amazing! The entire staff takes great care of my daughter and her teeth and always makes sure to go over any concerns in detail. I really appreciate that they take their time and are always super friendly and eager to assist me when needed. It is so hard to find a trustworthy and loving place that checks all of my boxes, but this is one office I will keep my daughter at. Thank you everyone for sharing your love!
The Giggles and Grins Doctors and Staff are consistent in the level of care they provide my son with each visit. You feel the passion and heart they have for children and their families. Thank you for always having my child’s best interest at the forefront and keeping his smile bright!
Absolutely LOVED our experience at Giggles and Grins! They made my very nervous and anxious four year old so comfortable and extracted a tooth with absolutely no issue. We will go back! Highly recommend! Dr. C was the best!
Giggles and Grins and specifically Dr. Watts are amazing!! My 17 year old has been going here for years and actually looks forward to it! He loves Dr. Watts and feels like she’s a friend. She has filled cavities, checked his X-rays and consistently advised us about how his teeth are progressing and she’s always right! The staff and the office is welcoming, fun and cheerful and they will go the extra mile for my child! I will continue to drive to Southlake from Fort Worth because I trust these dentists so much! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!
This place is amazing. I don’t know if this is standard practice with pediatric dentist and this day and age, but I was absolutely Shock and Aww by how wonderful the staff in office set up. My kids were going Into their first dental appointment. I was expecting the worst in regards to crying, tantrums, etc. but instead my girls were joyful and left the office saying I miss the dentist. I want to come back. If that isn’t quite approved, I don’t know what it is. 10/10/10/10/10
The office is so inviting from the second you walk in the door. My son actually looks forward to coming to see the dentist! He says it so fun and that exactly what I want to hear. Also the doctors are all so great at taking the time really explain what needs my child has and how best to take care of my child’s teeth! I love it here and recommend all my friends take their kids as well!
I literally cannot recommend Giggles and Grins enough. My child is special needs (autistic/tuberous sclerosis/brain tumor) and really doesn’t like teeth brushing etc. They did an AMAZING job keeping him calm and making sure he felt safe and comfortable. It never felt rushed or forced. By the time we left he had made friends with the hygienists and was letting the dentist hold him. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone. I’m actually looking forward to our next appointment!
