High-Tech and Child-Centered Care at Merhoff Pediatric Dentistry

Two of the top pediatric dentists in the Triad of North Carolina discuss how they apply the highest cosmetic dental technology for young patients. Pediatrics dentists Dr. Tina Merhoff and Dr. Melissa Blake discuss how they approach restoring children's smiles at Merhoff Pediatric Dentistry in Winston-Salem, NC. They detail how they focus on making children feel at ease while receiving the highest-quality care. The pediatric dentists and the entire team at their practice understand that restoring a child's smile is more than just a dental procedure—it’s about building confidence and supporting overall well-being. Using advanced materials like zirconia and Bioflex crowns, they can offer children beautiful, functional smiles that can last until their permanent teeth come in. This, combined with their emphasis on preventive care and education, ensures families can count on long-term dental health. Tune in to find out more about restorative care, tooth restoration, why a child would need cosmetic dentistry, and some of the types of pediatric dental crowns, including:

The practice offers several types of crowns, each suited to different needs and preferences.

  • Stainless Steel Crowns: These have been a durable and widely used option in pediatric dentistry for decades. While they don't blend with other natural teeth, they are highly effective for molars and non-visible teeth.
  • Zirconia Crowns: A more aesthetic option, zirconia crowns blend seamlessly with a child’s natural teeth. These white crowns are a great choice for front teeth, offering strength and durability without compromising appearance.
  • Bioflex Crowns: A newer, hybrid option that balances the aesthetic benefits of zirconia crowns and the durability of stainless steel. These crowns require less preparation and are faster to place, making them an efficient choice for patients and practitioners.
