What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown looks somewhat like a hollowed-out tooth. It is designed to fit snugly over the entire visible portion of a tooth, encapsulating it completely. The crown holds the tooth structure together to strengthen it and restore its function while simultaneously protecting it from future complications. Crowns that are placed towards the front of the mouth can be crafted out of dental ceramic, which will look just like natural tooth enamel for seamless results. Crowns for the molars are often made of stainless steel for added strength, since they’ll be exposed to more pressure from chewing than teeth in the front of the mouth.
The Process of Getting a Stainless Steel Dental Crown
Once we’ve determined that a dental crown is right for your little one, we’ll set about preparing the tooth. We’ll remove any damaged tissues and shave away a thin layer of enamel to make room for the crown. Although this is a minimally invasive procedure, your child’s mouth will be fully numbed to make sure they are as comfortable as possible. Then, we’ll take impressions of the area and place a temporary crown over the tooth.
Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
When you restore your child’s damaged or weakened tooth with a children’s dental crown, they’ll enjoy things like:
- Restored ability to eat and talk without tooth pain
- Minimized risk of future complications for that tooth, such as further damage or infection
- Durable results that can last 15 years (or until the baby tooth falls out)
- High-quality materials that ensure strong and beautiful results
- Renewed confidence in their appearance and smile!
