Pediatric Dental Crowns In Lake Worth
No parent wants their kid to deal with toothaches or damaged teeth. Pediatric dental crowns are specially made for tiny teeth to restore those that have been too damaged by decay or injury to be repaired with a simple filling. Keep your child’s smile healthy as they grow and develop.
Why should my child get a pediatric dental crown?
Dental crowns are an excellent way to repair your child’s cracked, broken, or decayed tooth. During the crown process, Dr. Tover will remove any damaged material from the tooth. Then, your child will be fitted with a strong, durable crown that protects the tooth and prevents further damage. With a crown, you can relieve your child’s discomfort and have peace of mind knowing their tooth will stay healthy for years to come.

The Benefits of Pediatric Dental Crowns
Cost-Effective
Dental crowns are the most affordable way to repair damaged teeth and protect them for years to come. Stainless steel crowns are particularly inexpensive, making them a great choice for restoring baby teeth and protecting them until they fall out naturally.
Prevent Complications
If a crown is recommended for your child and they don’t get treatment, they could be at risk of further problems like tooth infections. These complications could cause pain and discomfort, worsen their oral health, and possibly affect the permanent teeth. With a crown, you can protect their tooth and avoid these complications entirely.
Self-Adjusting
Pediatric dental crowns are an excellent choice for restoring children’s teeth because they’re designed to adapt naturally to a child’s bite. These crowns are made to contour and fit comfortably as the child’s mouth grows and changes, eliminating the need for adjustments. With their self-adjusting properties, pediatric crowns offer both durability and comfort, providing a long-lasting solution that supports natural bite development and promotes healthy dental growth.
Stainless Steel Crowns
Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are extremely durable and affordable, making them an excellent choice for restoring rear baby teeth. They can withstand the wear and tear of chewing, making them ideal for back teeth. SSCs also have antibacterial properties and are malleable, allowing them to fit snugly and comfortably without the need for adjustments.
White Crowns for Front Teeth
An alternative to traditional stainless steel crowns, white zirconia crowns and strip crowns look and feel more natural, and can be color-matched to the rest of your child’s smile. They’re a great option for restoring your little one’s front teeth, so they can smile with confidence.
Complimentary Meet & Greets
Going to the dentist can be a scary prospect for children (and even some adults!), but it doesn’t have to be. If your child is anxious about visiting the dentist, schedule a meet & greet so they can meet the team and become familiar with the office. Once they’ve gotten to know us, they’ll see there’s nothing to be afraid of after all!
The Pediatric Dental Crown Treatment Process
Preparing the Tooth
To start, Dr. Tover will ensure your child is completely comfortable by numbing the area. After that, the tooth will be prepared for the crown, allowing it to fit securely and protect the tooth.
Selecting & Placing The Crown
Pediatric dental crowns come in a variety of pre-fitted sizes, which means no goopy impressions and no ill-fitting temporary crowns. Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Tover will simply choose a pre-fitted crown, then cement it in place.
