Children with larger and deeper cavities may require full coverage crowns to safeguard against breakage and leakage. These crowns, crafted from materials like medical-grade stainless steel, resin, or zirconia, are expertly recommended by Dr. Young based on individual needs.
Stainless steel crowns are often used for primary teeth. They are durable and can withstand the forces of chewing and biting, making them ideal for children who may not be able to properly care for their teeth.
Resin crowns are tooth-colored crowns that blend in with the natural teeth. They are often used for front teeth and are less noticeable than stainless steel crowns. However, they may not be as durable and may need to be replaced more frequently.
Zirconia crowns are a popular choice for pediatric dental crowns. They are strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. They can be color-matched to blend in with the natural teeth, making them a great choice for children who are conscious of their appearance.
At Young Smiles, we believe that every child deserves a healthy, beautiful smile. If your child is experiencing dental problems, schedule a consultation with us today to learn more about which dental crown option is best for your child and their dental health.
