Restorative Dentistry for Kids in Moorestown & Cherry Hill, NJ
At Tooth Patrol Pediatric Dentistry, we care for your child’s smile from the very first tooth through adolescence.
Restorative dentistry helps repair damage from decay, injury, or wear so your child can eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
Our pediatric dentists, Dr. Gary Dhaliwal and Dr. Jaspreet Ghuman, specialize in gentle, age‑appropriate treatments designed specifically for children’s developing mouths.
​
Whether your child needs a filling after a cavity or a crown to protect a weakened tooth, we focus on minimally invasive care, comfort, and long‑term oral health.
What Is Pediatric Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry refers to treatments that repair and restore teeth to healthy function and appearance. Because children’s teeth and jaws are constantly growing, they require different materials and techniques than adult dentistry.
​
At Tooth Patrol, we blend child‑friendly care with proven dental science. Our team uses materials that are safe and durable, ensuring your child’s smile stays strong as they grow.
​
Common reasons a child may need restorative treatment include:
-
Cavities or decay that weaken a tooth
-
Sensitivity or pain from enamel wear
Healthy baby teeth play an important role in speech development, chewing, and guiding permanent teeth into the correct position. That’s why early repair matters.

Why Choose a Pediatric Dentist for Restorative Care?
Pediatric dentists receive 2–3 extra years of specialized training beyond dental school focused on children’s growth, behavior, and development. This expertise means we do more than fix teeth, we support your child’s comfort and confidence at every visit.​
Here’s what sets our pediatric restorative care apart:
Child‑Focused Behavior Guidance: We use proven techniques that help children feel safe and understood during treatment.
​
Developmentally Appropriate Treatment: From infant dental visits to care for teens, our restorative plans evolve with your child’s smile.
​
Special Needs & Anxiety‑Sensitive Support: We welcome all families and tailor our approach for children with extra dental anxiety or special healthcare needs.​
​
Calm, Kid‑Friendly Environment: Our Moorestown and Cherry Hill offices are designed to be inviting, not intimidating, which helps your child relax and cooperate.
Because a positive early dental experience builds healthy habits, we take time to educate families about oral health and preventive strategies that make restorative care less frequent and less invasive.

Tooth‑Colored Fillings
When cavities develop, we restore teeth with strong, composite resin fillings that blend with your child’s natural smile. These materials bond directly to the tooth and preserve more healthy structure compared with older silver fillings.
Key benefits:
-
Natural appearance
-
Mercury‑free
-
Supports long‑lasting tooth strength
​
Pediatric Crowns
For larger areas of decay or teeth weakened by injury, a crown protects and preserves the entire tooth until it naturally falls out. At Tooth Patrol, we use tooth‑colored crowns that are both durable and esthetically pleasing, ideal for both front and back teeth.
​
These crowns are made from high‑quality materials that blend seamlessly with your child’s natural smile while providing the strength needed to support chewing and proper oral development. They’re a parent-approved choice for comfort, appearance, and long-term protection.
​
Pulpotomy (Baby‑Tooth Root Canal)
If tooth decay reaches the soft tissue inside a baby tooth, a pulpotomy removes the affected portion and protects the healthy part. This helps save the tooth and maintain space for the adult tooth, reducing the risk of alignment problems later.
​
Space Maintainers
When a baby tooth is lost too early, a space maintainer keeps the gap open so permanent teeth come in straight. It’s a simple device that supports proper dental development.
Gentle Extractions
If a tooth is too damaged to repair, we perform extractions with comfort and compassion. Your child’s experience is always our priority, and we explain each step in kid‑friendly language. For some patients, we may recommend behavior management or sedation
