If your child has a large cavity or a broken tooth, a dental crown offers full protection. It covers the tooth completely to prevent further damage and helps restore proper chewing and function.
Crowns act as a strong barrier against bacteria. By sealing off the tooth, we help stop the spread of decay and keep your child’s mouth healthier in the long run.
Crowns help maintain proper spacing and alignment in your child’s mouth. This keeps their bite on track and supports the healthy growth of permanent teeth.
We offer several crown options to meet your child’s specific needs and smile goals:
A durable, budget-friendly option often used for back teeth. These crowns are strong enough to last until the baby tooth naturally falls out.
Tooth-colored and highly durable, zirconia crowns are a great choice for visible front teeth. They look natural and blend seamlessly with your child’s smile.
Made for front baby teeth, these crowns combine a natural appearance with reliable protection.

Children can usually eat soft foods once the numbness wears off, typically within a few hours after the procedure.
