Pediatric crowns provide complete protection for severely damaged or decayed teeth while restoring full function and appearance to your child’s smile. At House of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand some dental situations require more than simple fillings to restore teeth effectively. Our experienced team uses advanced crown materials and gentle techniques to provide durable, comfortable restorations that protect your child’s teeth while maintaining their natural smile.
Our board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Brandon Goodloe, and our team are committed to providing comfortable, long-lasting restorations that protect your child’s oral health. Whether your child needs a crown for a primary tooth or a permanent tooth, we offer high-quality options designed to fit their unique needs.
Pediatric crowns are recommended when teeth have damage too extensive for composite fillings to restore. These situations require full coverage to protect remaining tooth structure and bring back normal function.
According to the American Dental Association, crowns can strengthen teeth with large cavities when there is not enough healthy tooth left to support a filling. They also protect weakened teeth, restore teeth fractured from trauma, and provide coverage after pulpotomy treatment. Crowns placed on primary teeth also serve as natural space maintainers, keeping the dental arch stable until permanent teeth are ready to come in.
The decision to recommend a crown is based on careful evaluation of the tooth’s condition and the extent of damage present. Our team considers factors such as the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining, the location of the tooth, and your child’s age and development.
Covers the entire visible portion of the tooth for maximum protection against further damage.
Allows normal chewing and speaking while protecting the underlying tooth structure.
Provides lasting protection that can serve your child through their growing years.
We offer several types of dental crowns for kids to meet your child’s specific needs and preferences. Our team recommends the right option based on the location of the tooth, your child’s age, and aesthetic considerations.
Stainless steel crowns are the most commonly used option for children’s back teeth. These durable, pre-formed crowns provide reliable protection and can withstand the forces of chewing. They are particularly suitable for baby teeth that will eventually fall out naturally.
Tooth-colored crowns are available for front teeth or when appearance is a primary concern. These crowns blend naturally with your child’s teeth while offering the same protective benefits as stainless steel crowns.
Zirconia crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural appearance of tooth-colored materials. They are durable and provide an attractive look for both front and back teeth, making them a popular choice for children who need long-lasting restorations.
Gentle preparation of the tooth to accommodate the crown while preserving healthy tooth structure.
Careful selection of the appropriate crown type and size for optimal fit and function.
Precise placement and adjustment to ensure proper bite and comfort.
We have designed our crown placement process to be as comfortable and efficient as possible for Cypress families. Our team takes time to explain each step and help your child feel confident about their treatment.
The procedure begins with gentle numbing of the area using local anesthesia to keep your child comfortable throughout. We then carefully prepare the tooth by removing damaged or decayed areas and shaping it to fit the crown. Preparation is done with precision to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible, keeping the process minimally invasive for your child’s comfort.
Once the tooth is prepared, we select the appropriate crown based on the tooth’s location and your child’s needs. The crown is fitted, adjusted for a proper bite, and cemented into place. Most children adapt quickly and can return to normal eating and speaking within a day or two.
