Pediatric Dental Crowns

Strong, Healthy Smiles That Last

At Kids Dental Smiles, we know how much you care about keeping your child’s smile bright and healthy. Even with great brushing and regular dental visits, sometimes cavities, decay, or injuries can weaken a baby tooth. When that happens, a pediatric dental crown can restore your child’s tooth to full strength and function — helping protect their smile until their permanent teeth come in.

What Are Dental Crowns for Kids?

A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits securely over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance — acting like a protective shell around it.

Crowns are often recommended for children when:

  • A tooth is too damaged for a filling

  • A tooth has fractured or worn down

  • A large cavity has weakened the tooth structure

Crowns help keep your child’s natural tooth in place, which is important for guiding permanent teeth into proper alignment later on.

Types of Pediatric Dental Crowns

Stainless Steel Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are a durable, reliable solution often used on back teeth. They’re designed to protect a primary tooth until it naturally falls out. The procedure can usually be completed in just one visit, making it a convenient and effective option for children.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a strong, tooth-colored ceramic. They’re highly durable, smooth, and biocompatible — meaning they’re gentle on the surrounding teeth and gums. Because of their natural appearance and strength, zirconia crowns are a great choice for restoring front teeth or for parents looking for a metal-free option.
These crowns also require less removal of healthy tooth structure, helping preserve as much of your child’s natural tooth as possible.
