When a Filling Isn't Enough

When a baby tooth has extensive decay, has had a pulp treatment, or a filling wouldn't hold up well, a crown covers and protects the entire tooth so it can keep doing its job until it's naturally ready to fall out.

Types We Use

• Stainless steel crowns: durable, quick to place, and a great option for back molars that do a lot of chewing.
• Tooth-colored crowns: a cosmetic option often used for front teeth.

Why It Matters

Even though baby teeth are temporary, protecting them keeps your child chewing comfortably, speaking clearly, and holds space for the permanent tooth to come in correctly.
