Why should my child get a pediatric dental crown?
Dental crowns are the best way to repair your child’s cracked, broken, decayed, or infected tooth. During the crown process, your child’s pediatric dentist will remove all the damaged material from their tooth. Then, they’ll fit your child for a strong, durable, and long-lasting crown that will cover your child’s tooth and protect it. With a crown, you can prevent further damage, relieve discomfort, and get peace of mind. You’ll know that your child’s tooth will stay healthy for years to come.
The Benefits of Pediatric Dental Crowns
Prevents Further Decay
Pediatric dental fillings halt the progression of tooth decay. When decay is left untreated, it can progress deeper into the tooth, causing pain and potentially leading to more severe issues such as abscesses or systemic infections. A filling seals off spaces where bacteria can enter, preventing further decay.
Restores Tooth Function and Appearance
A decayed tooth can affect your child's ability to chew properly and may cause discomfort. A dental filling restores the normal function and shape of the tooth, allowing your child to eat comfortably. Plus, modern fillings can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Long-lasting Solution
With proper care, pediatric dental fillings can last for many years. They provide a durable solution that can withstand the forces of chewing and biting. This long-lasting treatment protects your child's oral health and gives you peace of mind.

The Pediatric Dental Crown Treatment Process

Examination and Diagnosis
Dr. Huh will first examine your child's teeth to identify any signs of decay. She may use a small mirror to inspect the surfaces of the teeth and take X-rays for a more comprehensive view.

Removal of Decay
Once a cavity has been identified, the decayed tooth material is carefully removed. This process is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your child feels no discomfort during the procedure.

Filling the Tooth
After the decay has been removed and the area cleaned, the cavity is filled with a filling material. The material is then shaped and polished to match the shape of the tooth, restoring its normal function and appearance.
Before & Afters
A smile is worth 1,000 words.
