Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dental Crowns

Yes. We offer different materials based on the location of the tooth and your child's specific needs:

  1. Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC): These are the "gold standard" for back molars. They are incredibly durable, cost-effective, and require the least amount of time in the dental chair.
  2. White Zirconia Crowns: For parents looking for a more natural appearance, these are made of a strong, tooth colored ceramic. They are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth and are often used for front teeth or for families who prefer a "metal-free" option.

It is very rare for a custom fitted crown to fall out prematurely. We use specialized dental cement to bond the crown securely to the tooth. The crown is designed to stay in place and function just like a natural tooth. When the permanent tooth underneath is ready to emerge, the roots of the baby tooth will naturally dissolve, and the entire baby tooth crown and all will fall out together. Your child will have a normal "wiggly tooth" experience just like their peers.

Absolutely. Pediatric crowns are made from biocompatible, FDA approved materials like medical grade stainless steel or zirconia. They are designed specifically for children's mouths. Keeping a baby tooth healthy with a crown is actually safer than leaving a decayed tooth untreated, which can lead to:

  • Painful abscesses or infections.
  • Damage to the permanent tooth developing underneath.
  • Difficulty eating or speaking correctly.

At Smiles of Bulverde, we recommend a crown for a primary (baby) tooth in these specific situations:

  • Extensive Decay: When a cavity is too large for a filling to stay in place or if the tooth structure is severely weakened.
  • After a Pulpotomy: If your child needs a "baby root canal" to treat an infection, a crown is necessary to seal and protect the remaining tooth.
  • Fractured Teeth: If a tooth is chipped or broken due to a playground injury or sports accident.
  • Developmental Issues: When teeth don't form correctly (enamel hypoplasia) and need extra protection from sensitivity and wear.
