What Are Pediatric Crowns?
Pediatric crowns are protective caps shaped to fit over a tooth, restoring its strength and function. Whether your child’s tooth is damaged by decay or injury, a crown helps keep it healthy and working properly until it naturally falls out. We provide:
- Stainless Steel Crowns for back teeth that need tough protection
- Composite Resin Crowns for front teeth that benefit from a natural appearance
Why Kids Might Need a Crown
Crowns are used for:
- Extensive Decay: When a filling won’t be enough to restore the tooth.
- Cracks or Fractures: Protecting and restoring damaged teeth.
- Weakened Teeth: Strengthening teeth with enamel issues.
- After Root Canal Therapy: Preserving tooth structure after treatment.
- Appearance Improvements: Correcting misshapen or discolored teeth.
