Some baby teeth need more protection than a filling can provide, particularly when decay is extensive or a tooth has become weakened. In these cases, a stainless steel crown may be recommended to restore function and help preserve the tooth until it naturally falls out.
A crown is a type of dental restoration that is used to cover and protect a tooth that has been damaged or decayed. These stainless steel crowns can withstand the chewing and biting forces of young children. They are also pre-fabricated, which means that they are ready-made and can be placed in just one visit!
The process of getting a stainless steel crown is quick and easy. After numbing the area, our friendly team will remove any decay and clean the tooth. Then, the stainless steel crown will be placed over the tooth and adjusted for a perfect fit. Treatment time varies depending on the tooth, the procedure, and your child’s individual needs.
With proper care, these crowns can last for several years, ensuring your child’s tooth is protected and their smile stays healthy and beautiful.
