Helping Children Smile With Dental Crowns
When kids have pain in a tooth or if one is severely decayed or infected, or even damaged, we can help. To bring relief and prevent complications, we can secure a dental crown. In today’s blog, the team at Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda talks about helping children in Dallas, TX, with dental crowns.
The Need for a Full Dental Restoration
When does a little smile need to receive a dental crown? The full restoration will cap the tooth and protect the entirety of the structure sitting above the gum line. Which means we can repair major chips and breakage, and even address fractured teeth too. The restoration can help address misshapen teeth and offer improvement for overall bite balance and chewing function. Receiving one could also address tooth decay too severe for a filling. With placement, we can ensure the health and function of your child’s smile! But what are these custom dental restorations made from?
Stainless Steel and Zirconia
We want to ensure the final product can handle daily bite forces and pressures, providing the quality restoration your child needs to enjoy daily life and their favorite dishes. Since the side and rear teeth tend to ensure greater levels of bite force, we may opt for a stainless-steel option for them. For the front facing teeth we also have a durable option, but this one is a little more natural looking, which some kids and parents prefer. Made from NuSmile zirconia, this option can better blend with the smile and still provide the durability needed to eat and speak without trouble. We can help you decide which is the best option for your child and your budget!
Placing Dental Crowns
How do we place a dental crown for your little one? Our team will gently numb the tooth being treated to ensure your little one stays comfortable as we remove outer structure from it, making room to accommodate the new restoration. Our team then takes images of the tooth, which we use to aid in the placement process. Finally, we attach it to the tooth with a powerful bonding agent, one that can last for years to come. In addition to treating permanent teeth, this can help prevent premature loss of baby teeth to ensure your little one continues to enjoy an even smile!
