Composite Dental Crowns for Children
Trauma or damage to a child’s natural tooth can compromise its integrity, making it vulnerable to further injury or decay. At smiles4children, your trusted Maryland Kid’s Dental Practice, our team in Catonsville, Ellicott City, and Eldersburg are here to recommend composite Dental Crowns for Children. These crowns, sometimes called tooth caps, are an excellent way to protect a damaged tooth long-term, whether it’s a primary or permanent one.
Composite Dental Crowns for Children: Why might my child need them?
Dental crowns, or “tooth caps,” are often used for kids when a single front tooth is damaged. Composite dental crowns are created using a resin that mimics the size, color, and shape of the neighboring teeth. They are a great restorative procedure that provides protection, strength, and aesthetics. They are used in a number of different situations, such as:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Teeth with extensive fillings
- Teeth that have recently had a pulpotomy performed
- Teeth with significant damage that leaves them susceptible to removal
What other options are available?
Our team at smiles4children also provides stainless steel crowns, which may be used in particular on baby teeth that will be falling out soon and don’t require a more expensive, long-term solution.
