If your child needs a pediatric stainless steel crown, you've come to the right place. At Little Bear Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in providing high-quality dental care for children. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to ensuring your child's comfort and oral health.
Why Should My Child Get A Pediatric Stainless Steel Crown?
A pediatric stainless steel crown is an effective solution for restoring your child’s decayed or damaged tooth. These crowns are exceptionally durable, ensuring long-term protection for weakened or decayed teeth against everyday wear and tear. Their natural functionality allows your child to eat, chew, and smile comfortably, promoting normal development and overall well-being. Additionally, pediatric stainless steel crowns prevent further damage by acting as a robust barrier, protecting the affected tooth from additional decay or fractures.
The Benefits of Pediatric Stainless Steel Crowns
Durability and Longevity
One of the standout advantages of pediatric stainless steel crowns lies in their exceptional durability. Crafted from sturdy materials, these crowns are specifically designed to endure the rigors of everyday activities, providing a robust and long-lasting solution for your child's dental needs.
Natural Functionality
Stainless steel crowns excel in replicating the natural functionality of real teeth. Once expertly placed, these crowns seamlessly integrate with the oral structure, restoring the tooth's normal function.
Preventing Further Damage
Pediatric stainless steel crowns act as proactive guardians of your child's dental health by entirely encasing the affected tooth. This coverage creates a strong shield from the threat of additional decay.
The Pediatric Stainless Steel Crown Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
During the initial visit, Dr. Nuthyla Skuja will examine your child's tooth to determine if a stainless steel crown is the most suitable treatment option. If a crown is recommended, the tooth will be prepared by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. Any decay is skillfully removed to preserve only healthy tooth structure. Dr. Skuja expertly shapes the tooth to ensure a secure fit for the stainless steel crown.
Crown Placement
Once the tooth is prepared, the stainless steel crown will be carefully placed over the tooth. Our team will ensure a proper fit and make any necessary adjustments to guarantee your child's comfort. Our team is always available to answer questions, offering explanations and support to both you and your child. Your child's well-being and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we are committed to delivering high-quality dental care with a gentle touch.
Final Adjustments
After the crown is placed, Dr. Skuja will check the bite and make any final adjustments to ensure proper alignment and function. Your child may experience some sensitivity initially, but it will subside as they get used to the crown. Throughout this adjustment period, our team remains accessible to address any concerns you or your child might have, ensuring their comfort and confidence in their newly restored tooth.
