Tailored Dental
Treatments in Marlton
Preventive Pediatric Dentistry
Routine cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments help children build strong oral health habits from an early age. The Gleam team monitors each child’s growth and development to catch potential concerns before they become larger problems.
Restorative Dentistry for Kids
When a cavity or dental injury occurs, the team provides gentle fillings, crowns, and other restorative treatments sized and designed specifically for children. Every procedure is explained in kid-friendly language to help ease any worries.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Early orthodontic evaluations allow the doctors to identify bite and alignment issues while a child’s jaw is still developing. Addressing these concerns early can simplify or shorten future orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontics and Clear Aligners
Dr. Davies works with children and teens to correct misaligned teeth and bites using traditional braces or clear aligners. Treatment plans are customized to each patient’s smile goals and stage of development.
Cosmetic Dentistry
For chipped, discolored, or slightly misaligned teeth, Gleam offers cosmetic bonding and resin infiltration to restore a child’s smile using conservative, minimally invasive techniques. Both options are comfortable for young patients and typically completed in a single visit.
Sedation Dentistry
For children who feel anxious about dental visits or need more extensive treatment, Gleam offers sedation options to help them stay calm and comfortable throughout the appointment. The team carefully tailors sedation choices to each child’s age, needs, and treatment plan.
