\n- Cavities in the visible areas of their smile (front teeth or premolars)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Allergies or sensitivities to metal<\/li>\n\n\n\n

The Porcelain Filling Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Placing a porcelain filling typically requires two visits to our office. During the first visit, our pediatric dentist will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure your child’s comfort<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Take an impression of the prepared tooth to create a custom-made porcelain filling<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Place a temporary filling to protect the tooth until the permanent restoration is ready<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
At the second visit, the temporary filling will be removed, and the custom-made porcelain filling will be bonded securely to the tooth using a special dental cement. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a comfortable and precise fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
