White Esthetic crowns
BY DR. AZI A. ARDAKANI, DDS
Baby teeth play an incredibly important role in your child's oral health and development. If your child has a weak or damaged tooth, your trusted team at Little Heroes Pediatric Dentistry of Orange County may recommend a dental crown. We offer stainless steel crowns as well as white esthetic crowns to restore your child's healthy, functional smile. You can always count on Dr. Azi and our kid-friendly team for gentle, compassionate care.
The Importance of Restoring a Baby Tooth
Maintaining healthy baby teeth will positively impact your child's future oral health. These tiny pearly whites make it easy to bite and chew and help with speech development. They also preserve the space the adult teeth need to come in the correct alignment. If a baby tooth is lost before its permanent replacement is ready to come in, the surrounding teeth can move toward the gap, leading to crooked adult teeth and problems with the bite that may require orthodontic treatments down the road.
What Are Pediatric Dental Crowns?
Pediatric dental crowns are restorations that cap or cover the surfaces of weak or damaged teeth, restoring their health and function. Your child may need a dental crown for the following reasons:
- To repair a tooth with extensive decay or damage
- To protect a tooth with a large filling
- To preserve a cracked or broken tooth
- To cover a tooth that has undergone a baby root canal treatment
- To strengthen and protect a damaged primary tooth until its replacement is ready to come in
Esthetic White Crowns for Children
Aside from stainless steel crowns, our team at Little Heroes Pediatric Dentistry of Orange County is pleased to offer esthetic porcelain crowns that offer full coverage and a close color match to your child's natural teeth, delivering a seamless smile.
Dr. Azi will recommend the type of dental crown best suited for your little hero depending on the severity of grinding, the extent of decay, and the location of the affected tooth. She will also take into account the level of esthetics required.
White esthetic crowns offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- They come in various prefabricated sizes, allowing for fast and easy placement.
- They are aesthetically pleasing, enhancing your child's smile.
- They help restore the health and function of your child's teeth.
