Pediatric Dental Crowns
In North Dartmouth

No parent wants their kid to deal with toothaches or damaged teeth. Pediatric dental crowns are specially made for tiny teeth to restore those that have been too damaged by decay or injury to be repaired with a simple filling. Keep your child’s smile healthy as they grow and develop with dental crowns.

Why should my child get a pediatric dental crown?

Dental crowns are the best way to repair your child’s cracked, broken, decayed, or infected tooth. During the crown process, your child’s pediatric dentist will remove all the damaged material from their tooth. Then, they’ll fit your child for a strong, durable, and long-lasting crown that will cover their tooth and protect it. With a crown, you can prevent further damage, relieve discomfort, and get peace of mind. You’ll know that the tooth will stay healthy for years to come.

The Benefits of Pediatric Dental Crowns

Cost-Effective

Dental crowns are the most affordable way to repair damaged teeth and protect them for years to come. Stainless steel crowns are particularly inexpensive, making them a great choice for restoring baby teeth and protecting them until they fall out naturally.

Prevent Complications

If your pediatric dentist recommends a crown for your child and they don’t get treatment, they could be at risk of further problems like tooth infections. These complications could cause pain and discomfort, worsen their oral health, and lead to additional costly treatments like root canal therapy. With a crown, you can protect their tooth and avoid these complications entirely.

Minimally-Invasive

Dental crowns only involve removing material from the outside of the tooth, so they're minimally-invasive. Your pediatric dentist will numb your child’s mouth and can also explore sedation options with you to keep them comfortable during treatment. You can trust us to deliver the expert, child-friendly care your little one needs.

The Pediatric Dental Crown Treatment Process

Tooth Numbing & Preparation

To begin the process, your child’s dentist will numb their mouth. Then, they will use a drill to remove all of the damaged or decayed enamel from their tooth. They will shape the tooth into a strong, stable platform. This ensures the dental crown can attach tightly to the remaining tooth.

Dental Crown Fitting

After your child’s tooth has been prepared, their dentist will take impressions or models of their teeth. These are used to build a custom dental crown. This step is not needed for pre-fitted stainless steel crowns.

Building & Placing The Crown

If your child is getting a stainless steel crown, their dentist will simply choose a pre-fitted crown, then cement it in place. But if they're getting a custom crown, we will send their impressions or models to a dental lab. There, a technician will build a custom-fitted ceramic crown. Your child will get a temporary crown, then you’ll come back in a few weeks to have their ceramic crown permanently attached to their tooth.
