Crowns

When a tooth has extensive decay or needs more protection than a filling can provide, a crown covers the entire tooth and gives it a strong, durable surface that holds up through all the chewing, crunching, and snacking ahead. Think of it as a fitted cap that keeps the tooth doing its job until it's ready to fall out on its own.

Saving a baby tooth, even one that's had significant work, is almost always better than losing it early. Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth and support proper development. A crown lets us keep that tooth in place, healthy and functional, for as long as it's needed.

We offer both stainless steel crowns and tooth-colored options depending on the tooth and your preferences. We'll always explain our recommendation before we begin and answer every question you have. The appointment typically runs 45 to 60 minutes and your child leaves with a tooth that's stronger than before.

Same approach as always. Thorough numbing, Tell-Show-Do, nitrous oxide when helpful, and a team that moves at your child's pace. We've done a lot of crowns. We know how to make them go smoothly.
