Durable Dental Crowns for Children's Oral Health

At Peak Pediatric Dentistry, we are dedicated to ensuring the long-term health and functionality of your child's teeth. Dental crowns play a vital role in restorative dentistry by providing strength and protection to damaged or decayed teeth.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged tooth. They restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling but still healthy enough to be preserved.

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

Children may need dental crowns for several reasons:

• Severe Tooth Decay: When cavities are too large for fillings, crowns provide a stable and lasting solution.
• Broken or Fractured Teeth: Crowns can restore the functionality and appearance of teeth that have been chipped or broken.
• Following a Pulpotomy: After a pulpotomy, crowns protect the treated tooth and prevent further damage. Learn more about our pulpotomy services.
• Developmental Defects: Some children have teeth that are malformed or discolored due to developmental issues. Crowns can enhance both function and appearance.

Types of Dental Crowns for Children

At Peak Pediatric Dentistry, we offer various types of dental crowns tailored to meet the specific needs of your child:

Stainless Steel Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are commonly used for children's molars due to their durability and cost-effectiveness. These crowns are strong and resistant to wear, making them ideal for the back teeth, which are used for chewing.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer numerous benefits for children, including:

• Durability: Crowns provide a strong and long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.
• Protection: They protect weak or decayed teeth from further damage and decay.
• Restoration of Function: Crowns restore the normal function of teeth, allowing your child to chew and speak properly.
