STRONG SMILES
When a baby tooth is too damaged for a filling, a dental crown can help protect and restore the tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally. Our pediatric dental specialists provide gentle, personalized care to help children feel comfortable throughout treatment.

WHAT IS A PEDIATRIC DENTAL CROWN?
A Stronger, Healthier Smile for Growing Teeth.
A pediatric dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that fits over a damaged or decayed baby tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function, helping your child eat, speak, and smile comfortably while maintaining proper space for their permanent teeth.

LARGE CAVITIES
When a cavity is too large to be restored with a filling.
AFTER A PULPOTOMY
To protect a tooth that has had nerve treatment (pulpotomy).

To restore teeth that are cracked, fractured or significantly worn.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTION

WHY TREAT A BABY TOOTH?
Baby Teeth Play a Big Role
Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, they are important for chewing, speech development, maintaining space for permanent teeth and overall oral health. Treating a damaged or decayed baby tooth with a crown helps prevent paint, infection and future alignment issues.
