Pediatric Dental Procedures at Rio Rancho Family Dental Care

Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are acrylic coatings applied to the grooves of teeth, preventing decay and reducing cavity risk. They don’t affect your child’s bite and are unnoticeable due to their tooth-colored material.
Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontic treatments for tooth alignment issues are more effective when done at a young age. At Rio Rancho Family Dental Care, we offer pediatric orthodontic options, including braces and Invisalign.


Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride strengthens teeth and prevents cavities, commonly received from tap water and toothpaste. If levels are low, fluoride treatment is an option. At Rio Rancho Family Dental Care, we apply a topical fluoride gel in a single visit.
Cavity Prevention
Cavities result from tartar deposits releasing acids that erode enamel and decay underlying tissues. Dr. Grant at Rio Rancho Family Dental Care provides preventive measures and recommends proper oral hygiene practices, the primary defense against decay and cavities.


Fillings
Fillings restore teeth after cavity treatment. While they used to be metal, we now offer discreet, tooth-colored fillings made from dental-grade ceramic or composite resin. These biocompatible materials are highly effective.
At Rio Rancho Family Dental Care, we also monitor your child’s dental development to ensure a healthy, bright smile for life.
