Our Fairhaven Area Dental Services

From preventing cavities to repairing little teeth, South Coast Smiles provides comprehensive pediatric dentistry tailored to every stage of your child’s development. Our services are designed to support healthy growth while making trips to the dentist something to smile about.

Pediatric Preventive Dentistry

Prevention is the cornerstone of a healthy smile. Our pediatric preventive dentistry focuses on gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, and protective sealants to keep cavities at bay. We educate both kids and parents about brushing habits and diet, setting the foundation for lifelong oral health. And with our themed exam rooms and kid-sized tools, visits are fun instead of fearful.

Pediatric Restorative Dentistry

Even with great care, kids sometimes need restorative treatment. Whether it’s a crown for a damaged tooth or treatment for early decay, our pediatric restorative dentistry combines comfort, precision, and a nurturing touch. We adapt each visit to your child’s unique comfort level, especially for those with special healthcare needs. Our experienced team ensures every child feels respected, safe, and heard.

When cavities do pop up, we provide gentle pediatric dental fillings using modern, tooth-colored materials. Our staff takes the time to explain each step in child-friendly terms, helping to ease nervousness. We also offer special accommodations for anxious patients and those with sensory sensitivities, always working to create the most comfortable visit possible.
