Pediatric Dental CrownsIn Canton, GA
Children’s teeth are just as vulnerable to damage, decay, and wear as adult teeth. When a baby or permanent tooth becomes weakened or broken, a pediatric dental crown can help restore its strength, function, and appearance. At Little Spurs Pediatric Dentistry in Canton, GA, Dr. Kameron Tauber offers high-quality pediatric dental crowns designed specifically for young smiles.
Crafted to be durable and child-friendly, crowns are often recommended when a filling isn’t enough or when a baby tooth needs to be preserved until it naturally falls out. With a compassionate approach and a relaxed, kid-focused environment (hello, Russ the highland cow!), we make this process smooth and reassuring for both parents and children.
Why Would My Child Need A Pediatric Dental Crown?
If your child has a tooth that’s badly decayed, cracked, or has undergone a baby root canal (pulpotomy), a pediatric dental crown may be the best choice for long-term protection. Crowns are essential not only for restoring function, such as chewing and speaking, but also for preserving the proper space for adult teeth to erupt.
At Little Spurs Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Kameron Tauber combines advanced pediatric training with a gentle, child-first approach, making the experience as stress-free as possible. Whether your child has special needs or simply needs a little extra comfort, our sensory-friendly practice ensures every child feels safe and understood.
The Benefits Of Pediatric Dental Crowns
Protects Teeth from Further Decay
Pediatric dental crowns act as a strong shield for vulnerable teeth, helping prevent additional damage or infection. This means fewer future procedures and more pain-free smiles.
Maintains Proper Tooth Alignment
By preserving baby teeth until they’re naturally ready to fall out, crowns help guide the correct positioning of permanent teeth. This reduces the likelihood of orthodontic issues later on.
Durable, Kid-Friendly Materials
Crowns used at Little Spurs Pediatric Dentistry are made from high-quality materials designed specifically for children’s mouths, ensuring both durability and comfort while blending naturally with their other teeth.
What makes us different?
The Pediatric Dental Crown Treatment Process
Assessment & X-Rays
During your child’s visit, Dr. Kameron Tauber will perform a gentle examination and take any necessary X-rays to determine the extent of damage or decay. This helps us decide whether a crown is the right choice and ensures we address any underlying issues. Our warm, easygoing environment makes even the most anxious kids feel at ease during this step.
Tooth Preparation
Once the need for a crown is confirmed, the affected tooth is carefully cleaned and reshaped. Depending on the crown type, Dr. Tauber may also need to perform a pulpotomy to treat the inside of the tooth before placing the crown. Thanks to our all-in-one approach, everything can usually be done in our child-friendly office with a minimal need for referrals. This minimizes anxiety and unnecessary travel between providers.
Crown Placement
The final step involves fitting and cementing the crown securely onto the tooth. Whether it’s a stainless steel crown for durability or a tooth-colored option for aesthetics, every placement is done with precision to ensure a perfect fit. Your child can leave the same day smiling, with their tooth fully protected and pain-free.
