Crowns are used to protect and restore teeth that are too damaged for a filling. They cover the entire tooth, bringing it back to its normal shape and strength while preventing further cracks or decay.
When a cavity is large or a tooth has been weakened, our dentist may recommend a crown to keep the tooth healthy and functional.
Stainless Steel Crowns
Stainless steel crowns are commonly used on children’s back teeth. They are strong, durable, and designed to withstand chewing without chipping or breaking. These crowns are ideal for young patients, as they adapt well to a growing mouth and help preserve the tooth until it naturally falls out.
White Crowns
White crowns are used to restore and strengthen front teeth that have been damaged by decay. These crowns are designed to match the natural color of teeth, offering a more cosmetically pleasing option.
They may be made from composite resin(strip crowns) or zirconia. Zirconia crowns are stronger and more durable, and may be recommended depending on your child’s bite and needs.
