At Cohen Family Smiles, we know how important it is to protect your child’s teeth and help maintain their healthy smile. When a child’s tooth is too damaged by decay or injury for a filling, pediatric crowns provide a durable and safe solution designed especially for young patients.
What Are Pediatric Crowns?
Pediatric crowns are tooth-shaped caps used to cover and protect damaged or weakened baby teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function, helping prevent further decay or damage until the permanent tooth erupts.
Why Choose Pediatric Crowns for Your Child?
- Made from durable, safe materials like stainless steel or tooth-colored resin
- Protect teeth from further decay and help maintain proper bite alignment
- Designed to fit comfortably and look natural in your child’s mouth
- Preserve space for adult teeth to grow in correctly
