Crowns
Repairing Little Smiles With Gentle Care And Lasting Strength
At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that when your child’s tooth is damaged, it needs a restoration that’s as strong and steady as the tide. In some cases, silver-colored stainless steel crowns are used when teeth are too badly decayed to hold fillings. If a front tooth needs extra care, we also offer tooth-colored crowns that blend beautifully with your child’s natural smile.
That’s one of the things that makes Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry stand out—Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Katie always keep your child’s comfort and confidence at the helm. Their goal is to make sure each smile stays strong, bright and ready to weather any storm. Whether your child has a broken tooth or one that’s been affected by deep decay, our team uses gentle, compassionate techniques to restore and protect their growing smile with dental crowns.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover the entire tooth to restore its function, shape and strength after damage or decay. At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, we use high-quality, durable materials to make crowns, ensuring they’re built to last through every wave and smile ahead. We use BioFlx Crowns for white crowns for your child’s back teeth and have several different options for the front teeth.
By using state-of-the-art technology, we ensure your child’s treatment plan is precisely charted to their individual needs, like plotting a smooth course for their oral health journey. Each crown is carefully crafted to match the exact contours of the natural tooth, ensuring a snug, comfortable fit that keeps your child’s smile strong and steady on course.
Some situations where your child may benefit from receiving a dental crown include:
Our Approach To Dental Crowns
At Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry, we prioritize individual, patient-centered care. Just as every seashell and wave is unique, every child’s smile deserves its own course of care. Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Katie will evaluate your child’s smile with expert eyes and consider all treatment options before recommending dental crowns. They want to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible, helping your child’s smile stay strong through every wave of growth by using advanced techniques and materials to replicate its original strength and function.
Advanced Technology for Stronger, Lasting Dental Crowns
Our practice utilizes high-quality materials that are built to last when it comes to providing your child with a strong dental crown. Like a sturdy anchor for their oral health, they are designed for durability and comfort. While employing advanced bonding techniques, Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Katie make sure their dental crown is secured safely to their natural tooth. The result? A bright, confident smile that shines as naturally as the North Carolina coast.
The Process Of Receiving A Dental Crown
After Dr. Skip, Dr. Stephanie or Dr. Katie has performed a thorough evaluation and exam of your child’s teeth and gums, they will go over all the treatment options available. We take a collaborative approach to your child’s dental care to make sure both of you are an active part of your child’s oral health decisions. Like skilled navigators charting a safe course, our team works side by side with families to steer each treatment toward the best possible outcome.
