Restoring and Protecting Young Smiles

At Canton Kid’s Dentistry, we believe that every child deserves a healthy, confident smile — even when challenges arise. Whether due to tooth decay, injury, or developmental concerns, a damaged tooth doesn’t have to mean discomfort or disruption. Dental crowns are a trusted solution that allow us to restore strength, function, and appearance to your child’s smile in a gentle, stress-free way.

We specialize in pediatric dental crowns for children in Canton, GA, offering treatment plans that are tailored to your child’s individual needs and comfort. Our compassionate team makes the process simple, reassuring, and centered around your child’s long-term oral health.

What Are Dental Crowns for Children?

A dental crown is a protective covering that fits over a tooth to restore its shape and function. For children, crowns are often used when a tooth is too damaged for a standard filling, has undergone a pulpotomy (baby root canal), or is at high risk for further decay.

Unlike adult crowns, pediatric dental crowns are often pre-fabricated and shaped to fit growing smiles. They’re designed to last until the baby tooth naturally falls out — all while protecting your child’s bite and oral development.

At Canton Kid’s Dentistry, our goal is to make treatment easy and effective. A crown doesn’t just repair a tooth — it helps maintain your child’s overall comfort, ability to eat, and even their confidence when smiling and speaking.

When Are Dental Crowns Recommended?

Dental crowns may be recommended for children when:

• A cavity is too large for a traditional filling
• A tooth has fractured due to trauma or decay
• A pulpotomy (nerve treatment) has been performed
• A tooth has developmental defects or weak enamel
• A child has difficulty maintaining oral hygiene and is at high risk for future decay

In all cases, we prioritize the preservation of the natural tooth whenever possible — and crowns offer a durable, child-friendly way to achieve that.

Types of Pediatric Dental Crowns We Offer

We provide several crown options to meet your child’s clinical and cosmetic needs:

• Stainless Steel Crowns
  These are the most common choice for back molars. They’re incredibly durable and cost-effective, making them a reliable solution for teeth that do the heavy lifting during chewing. Their silver color isn’t visible when placed on rear teeth.
• Tooth-Colored (Zirconia) Crowns
  For front teeth or parents seeking a more aesthetic option, we offer white crowns made of zirconia or composite materials. These look more like natural teeth and are especially popular for restoring visible front teeth without compromising strength.
• Resin Composite Crowns
  In some cases, we may use resin-based options for anterior restorations. These are minimally invasive and offer a good cosmetic result.

Our team will guide you through your options and help you choose the right solution for your child based on age, tooth location, and functional needs.

What to Expect During the Crown Procedure

Placing a pediatric dental crown is a straightforward procedure typically completed in one visit. Here’s what to expect:

1. Evaluation and Preparation
   We begin with a gentle exam and any necessary X-rays to assess the tooth. Once we’ve confirmed that a crown is the best option, we prepare the tooth by removing decay and shaping it to fit the crown securely.
2. Crown Selection and Placement
   We choose a crown that fits your child’s tooth and gently cement it in place. Our materials are safe, biocompatible, and designed to hold up to everyday wear.
3. Final Check
   We ensure the bite is comfortable and answer any questions you or your child may have. The process is designed to be quick, comfortable, and reassuring for young patients.

Depending on your child’s comfort level, sedation options may also be discussed to help keep the visit smooth and stress-free.

Benefits of Dental Crowns for Children

• Durability — Withstand chewing and last until the tooth naturally falls out
• Protection — Seal the tooth completely to prevent further decay
• Functionality — Restore full chewing ability and speech clarity
• Confidence — Improve the appearance of front teeth, boosting self-esteem
• Developmental Support — Maintain proper spacing for future permanent teeth

At Canton Kid’s Dentistry, we’re focused not only on fixing teeth — but on supporting your child’s overall health and development.

Aftercare: Helping Your Child Care for Their Crown

After a dental crown is placed, we’ll provide guidance on how to care for it. Fortunately, maintenance is simple and mirrors everyday oral hygiene habits:

• Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
• Floss daily (we’ll show your child how!)
• Avoid sticky or super-hard foods that might dislodge the crown
• Visit us regularly for cleanings and checkups

With proper care, your child’s crown will last until the tooth naturally falls out — keeping their smile healthy and strong.
