Pediatric Dental Crowns: Restoring Little Smiles

At A.L.L. About Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we're dedicated to keeping young smiles bright and healthy. Our dental crown services are designed to protect and restore your child's teeth when they need extra care. We offer both aesthetic tooth-colored crowns for front teeth and durable stainless steel options for back teeth, ensuring the best fit for your child's needs.

For the procedure, first the dentist will place a topical gel on the gum area where the injection site will be for the local anesthetic. If the patient is nervous, she may use nitrous oxide before anesthetizing the tooth. She will then remove any decay and shape the tooth to receive a crown.

The crown must be thick enough to withstand chewing, which means that the natural tooth below the crown must be reduced. The crown is cemented into place, and the patient and parent are advised to avoid eating sticky and chewy candy or gums that could pull the crown off. If the crown does come off, be sure to save the crown and call the dentist immediately to recement the crown. Our dental care includes the following:

• Tooth-colored crowns for visible teeth
• Stainless steel crowns for molars
• Crowns for extensive decay
• Post-baby root canal crowns
• Solutions for defective enamel
• Customized crown fittings
• Gentle, child-friendly procedures
• Careful crown placement

Don't let dental issues hold your child back. Connect with our office in Bradenton, FL to learn more about our crown services and how we can help restore your child's smile.
