Cover and restore your child’s natural teeth.

Children’s Dental Crowns

Protecting your child’s tooth from injury and decay.

A dental crown is a tooth-colored cap that covers and protects your child’s natural tooth after damage. Our pediatric dentist … Click to open this link in the same window … may recommend a tooth crown when a baby or permanent tooth is:

Severely decayed
Broken or cracked
Not developed properly

While your child’s baby teeth will fall out, we may still recommend a crown. Baby teeth have very thin enamel, making it easy for decay to spread to other teeth. With one dental crown, we can protect the rest of your child’s teeth from possible damage.

How do we do it?

We’ll use laughing gas or local anesthesia to make your child comfortable
We’ll place a dental dam. This small piece of latex will isolate the affected tooth and protect the rest of the mouth
We’ll remove any decay and shape the tooth for the dental crown
We’ll place the tooth cap snugly over the tooth and polish and file the crown as necessary
We will provide you with post-op instructions to keep your child comfortable
