When a child’s tooth is weakened by decay, fracture, or wear, a dental crown can help protect it and restore normal function. Crowns are designed to cover and support the tooth, allowing your child to eat comfortably and maintain a healthy smile as they grow.
At Avocabo Dental & Orthodontics, we offer several types of pediatric crowns based on your child’s specific needs: • Stainless Steel Crowns – A durable, long-lasting option commonly used for back teeth. These crowns are especially effective for protecting teeth with large areas of decay. • Pediatric Strip Crowns – Tooth-colored crowns used for front teeth, ideal for restoring appearance while maintaining strength and function. • 3D-Printed Resin Crowns – A modern, esthetic option that allows for a more natural look while still providing reliable protection for developing teeth.
A crown may be recommended when: • A tooth has extensive decay that cannot be repaired with a filling • A tooth is cracked or weakened • A baby tooth needs to be preserved to maintain proper spacing for adult teeth • Additional protection is needed after certain pediatric treatments
