Why Your Child Might Need a Dental Crown

At Pediatric Dentistry of San Angelo, we specialize in providing dental crowns that are both functional and aesthetic, ensuring your child’s teeth stay healthy and beautiful.

Benefits of Pediatric Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer several benefits beyond just restoring the damaged tooth. They:

• Protect decayed or damaged teeth from further deterioration
• Help save a tooth that has been severely worn down or damaged
• Are customized to fit comfortably and function like a natural tooth
• Improve the appearance of your child’s smile

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

Stainless Steel Crowns

Ideal for primary teeth, stainless steel crowns are durable, cost-effective, and require less tooth preparation.

Tooth-Colored Crowns

Made from composite or ceramic materials, these crowns are designed to match the natural color of your child’s teeth, making them a preferred choice for visible teeth.

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

Initial Consultation

Our pediatric dentists will assess your child's needs and discuss the best options for their dental health.

Preparation and Fitting

The affected tooth is prepared, and a mold is taken. The crown is then crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your child’s existing teeth.

Placement

Once ready, the crown is placed over your child's tooth, ensuring it fits seamlessly and comfortably.

Caring for Your Child’s Dental Crown

A dental crown requires care similar to that of natural teeth. We provide detailed instructions on maintaining oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of the crown, including:

• Regular brushing and flossing
• Avoiding hard or sticky foods that could dislodge or damage the crown
• Regular dental check-ups to monitor the crown and surrounding teeth
