Minimally-Invasive Dentistry

In Parker, CO

Our tooth-colored fillings are completely metal-free and designed to blend seamlessly with your child’s natural smile. Made from strong, biocompatible composite materials, these fillings not only look great but also bond directly to the tooth, preserving more of your child’s healthy structure. Whether it’s a small cavity or a replacement for outdated dental work, we take a gentle, conservative approach to every restoration—keeping comfort, appearance, and long-term oral health top of mind. At Kinder Smiles, we know parents are often concerned about materials used in their child’s care. That’s why we offer only composite (white) fillings, avoiding traditional silver (amalgam) fillings entirely. You can rest easy knowing your child is receiving durable, esthetic care without compromise.

For early signs of enamel breakdown or small, non-cavitated lesions, we may recommend a remineralization treatment using bioactive agents like Curodont. This innovative, non-invasive option helps reverse the earliest stages of tooth decay—before drilling or filling is ever needed. Curodont works by penetrating deep into weakened enamel, delivering targeted ions that support the natural healing process of the tooth. Remineralization is especially helpful for young children who may not yet be ready for traditional restorative care or for families seeking a more conservative, preventive-first approach. It’s a powerful way to protect developing smiles while avoiding unnecessary intervention.

Dental sealants are like invisible tooth protectors! We paint a clear, safe resin on your child's teeth that hardens under a special light. It acts like a shield, keeping away cavity-causing bacteria and food particles. This treatment is especially great for back teeth, where cavities are most likely to form.

Also known by brand names like ICON, resin infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment used to halt early decay and correct white spot lesions—especially on smooth surfaces like front teeth. The process involves gently opening the enamel pores and infusing them with a clear, flowable resin that stabilizes the area and stops progression. What makes this technique so unique is that it doesn’t require any drilling or numbing. It’s ideal for kids who are anxious about traditional dental procedures or for parents who want to prevent cavities from worsening without altering the tooth’s natural structure.

Using Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), we can stop the progression of certain cavities—without numbing, drilling, or sedation. This treatment involves applying a small amount of SDF to the affected area to kill bacteria and harden softened enamel. Once the decay is arrested, we can restore the tooth with a tooth-colored filling if needed, all without invasive steps. This technique is particularly beneficial for very young children, those with special healthcare needs, or patients who aren’t yet ready for traditional dental work. It’s a safe, science-backed way to manage decay while keeping the experience calm and stress-free for your child.

When a pesky cavity pops up in your child's teeth, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) might come to the rescue! This kid-friendly procedure is quick, pain-free, and doesn't involve any drills or shots. It's like painting a superhero shield on their tooth that fights off decay-causing bacteria and strengthens their tooth. So, if your child has a cavity, fillings aren't the only heroes in town!

Is your child having trouble staying still at the dentist? Do they get anxious about dental visits? We have a solution: sedation options. Our sedation methods can help calm restlessness and anxiety, making sure your child gets the dental care they need without fear or stress. This helps your child stay calm and comfortable and starts building a positive attitude towards dental care and oral health. If you think sedation might help your child, let us know. We'll help you find the right option for them.

For baby teeth that need full coverage protection—like those with extensive decay or after a pulpotomy—we offer both zirconia and Bioflex white crowns. These esthetic crowns are a popular alternative to traditional stainless steel, especially for visible areas of the mouth. Zirconia crowns are incredibly durable and offer a bright, natural appearance, while Bioflex crowns are made from a flexible, biocompatible resin that’s gentler on surrounding teeth.

Whether you’re looking for the strength and polish of zirconia or the forgiving fit of Bioflex, we’ll help you choose the best crown for your child’s needs and your family’s preferences. Both options are metal-free and designed to look and feel like real teeth—so your child can smile with confidence.
