Dental Crowns for Kids

A dental crown is a cover or “cap” that is placed over a tooth. A dental crown is necessary when a tooth’s shape needs to be restored to its normal shape, size, and function. A crown can improve a tooth’s functionality and overall appearance. Additionally, it improves the oral health of the patient, as it prevents many issues that can arise if left untreated.

There are many reasons why your child may need a dental crown, including:

• A cavity is too large for a filling
• A tooth is cracked, decayed, or weakened
• There is an existing root canal treatment and the crown protects it
• A discolored or poorly shaped tooth needs to be covered

Crowns can be made of a wide range of different materials, such as ceramics, porcelain, composite resin, and more. When a crown is created, it is made to match the color of your child’s smile so it blends seamlessly. At Blooming Smiles, it’s important for us that your child’s dental crown looks natural and fits their mouth perfectly. There are many factors that are considered when choosing the right material for your child’s crown, such as the tooth’s location and function, the position of the gum tissue, personal preference, the color shade of the tooth, and other factors.
