Adult & Pediatric Restorative Treatments We Provide
What Your Baltimore Restorative Dentist Offers for Kids and Adults
When a tooth is damaged by decay, injury, or early loss, restorative dental procedures help bring it back to health. As a trusted baltimore restorative dentist for the whole family, we offer a full range of restorative dentistry services for children and adults, all delivered with the gentle, patient approach our families count on.
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged or missing teeth, helping patients chew, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence. At Sparkling Charms, our focus is always on preserving as much natural teeth structure as possible while using the least invasive treatment that gets the job done.
Dr. Spates leads pediatric restorative care for infants, children, and teens, while Dr. Robinson provides the same thoughtful, thorough dental care for adult patients. Every visit starts with a clear explanation of what we see and what we recommend, so you always know what to expect before treatment begins.
To learn more about our restorative dental services or to schedule your family’s first visit, call us at (443) 681-6455. Your family’s healthier smile starts with one conversation.
1

BPA-Free Fillings
Fillings are one of the most common types of dental restorations, used to repair damaged teeth after a cavity. Our BPA free fillings are safe, tooth colored, and designed to blend naturally with your child's smile. We use gentle techniques to keep kids calm and comfortable throughout the procedure, and the materials we choose reduce the risk of sensitivity or allergic reaction.
2

Pediatric Dental Crowns
Dental crowns restore broken teeth and cover large cavities that a filling alone cannot repair. A pediatric crown fits over the entire tooth, bringing back its shape, strength, and function so your child can eat, smile, and play without worry. Crowns protect the tooth until it is ready to fall out naturally, keeping your child's bite and spacing on track. They can be made from ceramic or porcelain materials depending on your child's needs.
3

Pediatric Nerve Therapy
If decay reaches the inner tissue of a baby tooth, pediatric nerve therapy gently removes the decayed portion and affected tissue, relieves pain, and preserves the tooth. This helps avoid an early extraction, prevents infection from spreading, and supports your child's dental development. Think of it as a way to save a tooth that might otherwise be lost, keeping your child's mouth healthy and their smile intact.
4

Tooth Extractions & Space Maintainers
When a tooth cannot be saved, our team performs gentle extractions and places custom space maintainers to prevent neighboring teeth from shifting. Early tooth loss in children can affect how permanent teeth come in, so a space maintainer holds the gap open and protects your child's alignment as they grow. It is a small, proactive step that can make a big difference in their long term oral health.
5

Minimally Invasive Treatment
We always look for the gentlest path forward. Our minimally invasive restorative dental procedures preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible, reducing discomfort and helping patients of all ages heal faster. By focusing on what can be saved rather than what needs to be removed, we protect your family's natural teeth and keep future treatment options open.
6

Dental Implants
Dental implants replace a missing tooth from the root up, giving adults a permanent, natural looking way to restore their smile. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to support a custom made replacement tooth. Unlike removable options, an implant does not rely on neighboring teeth for support and helps preserve the jawbone underneath. Our team walks you through every step, from consultation to final restoration.
7

Dental Bridges
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom made replacement tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. It restores your bite, helps prevent nearby teeth from shifting, and is designed to blend naturally with your smile. Bridges can be fixed or implant supported, depending on the health of your remaining teeth. We take the time to explain which option fits your situation best.
8

Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances that replace some or all of your missing teeth, restoring both function and the fullness of your smile. Whether you need a full denture or a partial denture supported by your remaining teeth, each set is custom made to fit comfortably and look natural. Our team guides you through fitting and any adjustments along the way, so your new smile feels like your own.
Minimally Invasive Techniques from Your Baltimore Restorative Dentist
At Sparkling Charms, we believe dental care should protect your child’s comfort just as much as their teeth. That is why we offer the latest minimally invasive restorative dentistry techniques, designed to preserve healthy tooth structure, reduce discomfort, and speed up recovery. Here is a closer look at three approaches your baltimore restorative dentist may recommend.
1
Hall Crowns
A Hall Crown is a prefabricated metal crown placed directly over a decayed baby tooth. There is no drilling and no need to remove tooth enamel or tooth structure. The crown seals the decay inside, stopping it from getting worse.
Why We Offer It
Hall Crowns are one of the calmest restorative experiences we can provide. Because there is no drilling involved, they are an excellent option for young children who feel anxious or who have difficulty sitting through longer procedures. It is a comfortable, effective way to protect a baby tooth until it is ready to fall out naturally.
When It's Used
We typically recommend Hall Crowns for cavities in baby molars where the decay has not reached the nerve. It is a preferred choice when preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible is the goal.
2
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)
SDF is a liquid applied directly to a cavity to stop tooth decay from progressing. It kills the bacteria responsible for the cavity and helps strengthen the remaining tooth enamel around it.
Why We Offer It
SDF is quick, requires no needles or drilling, and works well for very young children, patients with special healthcare needs, or anyone who finds it difficult to sit through a traditional restorative procedure. It lets us stop a cavity in its tracks with minimal stress for the patient.
When It's Used
SDF works best for small to moderate cavities where the decay has not reached the nerve. It is also a valuable option when we need to slow cavity progression while planning a more complete treatment.
3
Atraumatic Restorative Technique (ART)
ART involves gently removing decayed tooth material with hand instruments instead of a drill, then the dentist seals the tooth with a glass ionomer filling. In most cases, no anesthesia is needed.
Why We Offer It
ART is one of the gentlest restorative options we provide. It is especially helpful for young children and patients who feel anxious around dental sounds and sensations. The quiet, calm approach makes it much easier for nervous patients to get the dental care they need.
When It's Used
We use ART for treating cavities in both baby teeth and permanent teeth, especially when the traditional approach would create unnecessary stress for the patient.

Frequently Answered Questions
Your Baltimore Restorative Dentist Answers
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dental care focused on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore function, comfort, and appearance. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which focuses primarily on improving how your smile looks, restorative dentistry addresses problems that affect your ability to chew, speak, and maintain good oral health. Common types of restorative dental procedures include fillings, dental crowns, bridges, dental implants, and dentures. At Sparkling Charms, we offer restorative dentistry services tailored for both children and adults, with a focus on gentle, minimally invasive treatment whenever possible.
Our practice provides BPA free fillings for small to moderate cavities, pediatric dental crowns for larger areas of decay or damage, pediatric nerve therapy for teeth where decay has reached the inner tissue, gentle tooth extractions, and space maintainers to protect alignment after early tooth loss. We also offer minimally invasive techniques including Hall Crowns, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), and Atraumatic Restorative Technique (ART). For adult patients, Dr. Robinson provides fillings, crowns, and other restorative treatments based on individual needs.
Common signs include dental pain, sensitivity to hot or cold foods, visible dark spots on a tooth, swelling near the gums, or changes in how your child chews. Tooth decay is one of the most common childhood dental conditions, and catching it early helps prevent more than one tooth from being affected. If you notice any of these signs, call us at (443) 681-6455. During a consultation, our team will assess your child's teeth and recommend the gentlest, most effective treatment plan.
Yes. Our team is specially trained to make restorative visits calm and positive. We offer minimally invasive techniques like Hall Crowns and SDF that involve no drilling, and we always go at your child's pace. The dentist removes only what is necessary, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Many parents tell us their child actually looks forward to their next visit.
Restorative procedures can improve oral health and quality of life by repairing damaged teeth before small problems become bigger ones. Treating cavities and decay early protects your child's ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. It also preserves the natural spacing needed for permanent teeth to come in correctly, which can reduce the need for more involved treatment down the road. When paired with preventive dentistry like regular cleanings and good habits at home, restorative care helps build the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth.
When needed, we can provide stainless steel crowns, necessary, personalized advice for good oral hygiene moving forward - all based on evidence based dentistry practices that get results.
And, of course, the restorative material (and other dental materials) we use is top of the line and provide the highest quiality finish for years to come. As you can imagine, the needs of every one of our pediatric patients is different, so get in touch with us to find out what we have to offer and how we can help you.

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore function and health. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile, such as whitening or porcelain veneers. In many cases, restorative treatments like dental crowns or tooth colored fillings provide both functional and aesthetic benefits, giving you a beautiful smile while also solving the underlying problem. At Sparkling Charms, our restorative treatments are designed to leave your family's teeth looking and feeling their best.
Most dental restorations can last over 10 years with proper care. The lifespan of a restoration depends on the type of treatment, the material used, and how well the teeth are maintained afterward. Regular cleanings, good brushing and flossing habits, and routine dental checkups help keep fillings, crowns, and other restorative work in great shape. At Sparkling Charms, we use high quality materials and precise techniques to help your family's dental restorations last as long as possible.
Dental crowns are custom fitted caps that cover the entire visible portion of a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function. Crowns repair large cavities, restore broken teeth, and can cover teeth with extensive damage or discoloration. They can be made from ceramic, porcelain, or metal depending on the patient's needs. Crowns are also commonly used after pediatric nerve therapy to add strength and support to the treated tooth. At Sparkling Charms, we offer pediatric crowns and adult crowns as part of our comprehensive restorative care.
Yes. Parents are welcome to stay with their child throughout the visit. We believe your presence helps your child feel safe, and it gives you the chance to hear our explanations about the treatment and aftercare steps in real time. Keeping parents informed and involved is a core part of how our practice operates.
