Why Choose Barefield Pediatric Dentistry for Dental Crowns?

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that we place over the entire visible portion of a tooth (everything that protrudes beyond the gumline). A crown can accomplish several purposes:

At Barefield Pediatric Dentistry, we offer crowns made of various materials, including sturdy stainless steel, tooth-colored composite resin, and hybrid materials (NuSmile crowns).

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

The traditional process of placing a dental crown requires two appointments. First, we prepare the tooth by removing a bit of its enamel. Then, we take impressions and coordinate with the dental lab that will create the permanent restoration. In the meantime, the patient wears a temporary crown. This is often the process we follow if we are placing a crown on a permanent tooth.

If we are placing a crown on a baby tooth, we may select a pre-made crown and attach it to your child’s smile. Pre-made crowns are often strong enough and sturdy enough to last until a baby tooth falls out on its own.
