Pediatric Dental Crowns
Durham, North Carolina
Sometimes, your child’s teeth may need a little extra support to keep them healthy and strong. At New Leaf Pediatric Dentistry, we offer dental crowns to shield weak or damaged teeth, restoring their health and function until their adult replacements are ready to come in. Maintaining healthy baby teeth can reflect on your little one's oral health into adulthood.
Pediatric dental crowns can be ideal for
Teeth with deep decay or large fillings
Weak, chipped, fractured, or otherwise damaged teeth
Teeth that have undergone nerve treatment
Why Restore a Damaged Baby Tooth?
Even though they will eventually fall out, baby teeth are critical to your child's future oral health. They play a role in your child's development, helping with chewing, forming sounds for speech, and aiding in jaw and oral development. If not treated, a damaged baby tooth can develop an infection, affecting the permanent tooth that's growing behind the scenes.
Your little one's tiny chompers act like placeholders for the adult teeth, guiding them into the correct position when it's time for them to erupt. If a baby tooth is lost too early due to extensive decay or damage, the surrounding teeth may shift toward the gap, leading to crooked or crowded adult teeth that may require orthodontic treatment down the road. Maintaining healthy baby teeth is the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.
How Can You Prevent the Need for a Dental Crown?
The best way to avoid needing a dental crown is to keep your child's teeth healthy. Encourage your little one to brush and floss regularly and limit sugary or acidic foods and beverages to lower the risk of tooth decay. Avoid hard foods or candies that can chip or fracture your child's teeth.
One of the best ways to keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong is to visit New Leaf Pediatric Dentistry for your child’s twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings. Our pediatric dentist and team will monitor your child's smile and address any issues early on, reducing the need for invasive treatments down the road.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that strengthen weak or damaged teeth and prevent further damage. They protect your little one’s tiny pearly whites until their adult teeth are ready to come in.
At New Leaf Pediatric Dentistry, we offer stainless steel and white zirconia crowns.
- Stainless Steel Crowns: Stainless steel crowns offer a cost-effective, strong, and incredibly durable tooth restoration solution for your child's back teeth. They come pre-made in different sizes and shapes and are ready to place without impressions or molds.
- White Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia crowns offer a close color match to the natural teeth, providing an aesthetic solution for weak or damaged teeth that show when your little one smiles. They are quick and easy to place, delivering seamless results.
