Our pediatric dentist takes pride in helping children achieve and maintain good oral health with a full range of gentle kids’ dentistry in Cape Coral, FL. We encourage you to bring your child to see us by their first birthday to help prevent dental anxiety and encourage them to develop optimal oral hygiene habits when they’re young. Our skilled dentist offers compassionate pediatric dental care, including regular exams, regular cleanings, digital X-rays, fluoride treatment, fillings and sealants. According to studies, sealants reduce the risk of decay by nearly 80% in a child’s molars, so we recommend them in children ages 6 to 12.

We understand accidents happen and teeth are especially vulnerable to trauma in young children. In addition, uncomfortable nerve pain can develop seemingly overnight in adults of all ages. Our team does everything possible to schedule same- or next-day appointments because we don’t want to see anyone suffer. Whether you broke a restoration, your child knocked out a tooth on the playground or a family member has any other dental emergency, we’re here to relieve pain and restore our patients’ oral health!

In addition to alleviating dental fear, sedation dentistry makes it easier to withstand longer treatment sessions, so procedures that typically require multiple visits can be performed quicker. Nitrous oxide is the mildest type of sedation and safe even for children, as long as it’s administered by a trained pediatric dentist. We’ll discuss available options and help you make an informed decision about the best type to meet your needs.

Whether you have a weakened, broken or missing tooth, we offer customized crowns and bridges in Cape Coral, FL to restore your beautiful smile. Dental crowns are fixed caps that cover teeth too damaged or decayed to be treated with bonding or composite fillings. Crowns are also needed after a root canal procedure to protect the weakened tooth structure. A dental bridge spans the empty space a missing tooth creates and attaches to modified and crowned natural teeth on either side.

Tooth decay is a common oral health problem affecting people of all ages, from the first primary tooth through all stages of life. It’s important to fill cavities early to prevent the need for more extensive services like root canals and dental implants. Composite fillings are a tooth-colored alternative to traditional amalgam fillings that restore strength and aesthetics after decay is removed.

A tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth has sustained extensive damage or decay, can’t be saved with root canal therapy or in preparation for a dental implant. In some cases, a tooth is extracted to make space in the mouth for orthodontic treatment or to allow room for adult teeth to grow in properly. Regardless of the reason, Dr. Kari Mann has the skills and expertise to ensure your procedure is comfortable and safe. Our dentist also has experience extracting wisdom teeth (third molars) that are impacted and may require surgical extraction and sedation.

A root canal is a proven method for treating tooth pulp that is inflamed or infected and saving the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can cause severe pain and/or lead to an abscessed tooth. While the myth persists that root canals are painful, advances in dental technology have resulted in root canals that are no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled. After undergoing a root canal, a customized natural-looking crown is required to prevent fracturing and maintain tooth function and aesthetics.

Personalized cosmetic dental treatments at Kari Mann Dental Studio provide renewed smile beauty, a boost in self-confidence and improved dental health. Our dentist is skilled in delivering a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services customized to your unique needs, including inlays, onlays, composite bonding, teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.

If you wake up with a sore jaw or achy jaw muscles, you might be clenching and grinding your teeth at night. Known as bruxism, this common issue can damage your teeth and the TMJ, which connects your lower jaw to your skull. This can lead to TMJ-related jaw pain and chronic headaches. A custom mouth guard helps reestablish a comfortable relationship between your bite, TMJ and the muscles that move your jaw.
