What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are designed to fit over an entire individual tooth, essentially covering its natural shape and protecting it while also providing a durable, lifelike replacement. There are a wide variety of reasons why our team at Castle Rock Smiles Pediatric Dentistry may recommend that your child has a customized dental crown placed, including:
- Badly decayed tooth that’s too severe for a filling to treat
- Fractured tooth
- Weakened tooth that needs additional support
- Teeth with defective enamel
- Restoring a tooth treated with a pulpotomy
Dr. Benzley offers traditional stainless-steel crowns as well as tooth-colored Zirconia crowns. Tooth-colored crowns are always used for front teeth but are also available for back teeth under appropriate conditions.
The Dental Crown Process
Dr. Benzley will begin by cleaning your child’s teeth before administering local anesthesia. This will help to numb the area surrounding the tooth. He will start to clean out any decayed or damaged portions to ensure it is clean and free of any harmful debris.
Once the tooth is cleared and filed down, we will determine if a stainless-steel or zirconia crown is required. If your child needs a stainless-steel version, we will select the material and begin to trim and size it accordingly. It will then be attached over the tooth using dental cement, which helps hold it in place.
If a zirconia crown is chosen, we will select the material that is pre-sized so that there is no wait time for your little one. We’ll attach it the same way we do stainless-steel crowns, ensuring it is bonded well and delivers maximum protection.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
While you may not want your child to ever need a dental crown, you can remain confident that should one be necessary, they will reap many great benefits as a result, such as:
- Greater Protection: A dental crown from our expert dentists will help protect your child’s vulnerable tooth as it strengthens and heals over time. Instead of leaving it to worsen, this unique restorative solution offers a chance for their smile to remain intact and in better health over the years.
- Long-Lasting: Your child’s smile can remain properly protected for 5 years or more. Stainless steel and zirconia are two materials that are highly durable and can withstand normal daily wear and tear that are put on teeth.
- Fully Restored Smile: Instead of your child living with a tooth that causes pain and other similar problems, they can enjoy a smile that is fully restored. This means they will be able to eat and speak without worrying about causing further damage to their teeth.
