    Restorative Dentistry

    Despite our best efforts to keep children’s teeth healthy, there are times when teeth restoration is necessary (in both primary and permanent teeth). Children’s teeth can become damaged for many reasons, such as accidents while playing, chewing on hard food items, or small cavities. While most reasons for a damaged tooth can be avoided, everyone knows that accidents happen! Our staff is well-trained to restore your child’s teeth with fillings, extractions, and pulp and crown services for damaged or chipped teeth, ensuring they stay strong for years.

    Orthodontic Services

    From early assessments to braces, Jungle Roots Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics also offers a comprehensive range of orthodontics for kids, teens, and adults, including braces and clear aligners, to help correct misalignment and ensure a healthy, beautiful smile.
