What Are Pediatric Crowns?
Pediatric crowns are specially designed caps that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. Just like a crown completes a royal look, these crowns restore strength and function to your child’s tooth, ensuring it plays its part in chewing, speaking, and guiding permanent teeth into place. We offer:
- Stainless Steel Crowns for durable protection of back teeth
- Composite Resin Crowns for front teeth that need a natural, polished look
Why Your Child Might Need a Crown
We may recommend a crown if your child has:
- Large Cavities: When decay is too advanced for a filling.
- Cracked or Fractured Teeth: To restore strength and prevent further damage.
- Weak Teeth: From enamel defects or previous dental work.
- Post-Root Canal Care: To protect the tooth after treatment.
- Cosmetic Concerns: To improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.
