What Are Dental Crowns?
A warm smile becomes even more confident with a well-made dental crown. Children often benefit from the added strength these restorations provide at SF Children's Dental. Crowns come in several types, including stainless steel, porcelain-fused-to-metal, porcelain, zirconia, silver, and white. Each type covers a weakened tooth to improve its shape, protect its structure, and restore its daily function. A crown supports normal chewing and shields the affected area, helping to maintain the space needed for future growth. Our team uses delicate methods that help children feel at ease at every step of their visit. Sedation dentistry is available to help young patients relax while the treatment is completed in a safe setting. Families can schedule a consultation at our San Francisco or Redwood City, CA practice for teeth protection and other options.
What Is the Process for Dental Crowns?
The dental crown procedure for pediatric patients is planned with comfort and safety as top priorities. The visit starts with an exam to review the tooth and surrounding tissues. A small amount of enamel is shaped to make room for the crown. An impression may be taken to help design the new restoration, and a temporary crown may be placed as needed. Once the dental restoration is ready, the crown is placed over the prepared tooth and checked for a proper fit. This process protects the tooth from further damage and helps maintain a balanced bite. It also helps reduce strain on nearby teeth and preserve natural spacing as the mouth develops.
