What types of crowns are available?
Our practice offers a few different crown options to cater to different dental wants and needs.
- Zirconium crowns offer a strong, metal-free solution with a natural, tooth-colored appearance, making them an excellent choice in terms of durability and aesthetics.
- Silver dental crowns, commonly known as stainless steel crowns, have a long history of success in pediatric dentistry and are highly resistant to wear and decay.
- Hall dental crowns are preformed stainless steel crowns often used in pediatric dentistry to treat cavities in baby teeth.
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
Dental crown types help repair damaged teeth, prevent further decay, reduce sensitivity, and support proper oral development as children grow. All of our options are extremely durable, helping restore chewing function and withstand the forces of daily use. Zirconium crowns offer the added benefit of a natural, tooth-colored appearance and are metal-free, while silver crowns are cost-effective, reliable, and quick to place. Hall dental crowns usually do not require injections or drilling, making them minimally invasive.
Can dental crowns be placed on baby teeth?
Dental crowns can absolutely be placed on baby teeth. In fact, they are often recommended when a baby tooth has extensive decay or weakness. Durable dental crowns help preserve the tooth until it is ready to fall out naturally, maintaining proper spacing, chewing ability, and guiding healthy development of the permanent teeth.
Can my child return to school after getting a crown placed?
Most children can return to school the same day after a dental crown is placed. We always utilize local anesthetic, so children typically experience little to no discomfort during and after their treatment. Unless certain types of sedation are used during the appointment, kids can typically eat, talk, and play normally shortly after their visit, making it easy to resume their regular school and daily activities.
