Children's Dentistry
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a pediatric crown restores it fully, so your child can chew and smile, and keep that tooth until it's ready to be replaced naturally.
A crown is a durable cap that covers and protects a tooth, restoring its full shape and strength. Unlike a filling, which repairs part of a tooth, a crown rebuilds the whole tooth so it stands up to everyday chewing.

Anxious about treatment?
For children who feel nervous or need more involved care, safe sedation options keep the whole visit calm.
Saving a damaged tooth keeps your child's bite intact, supports healthy chewing and speech, and prevents the pain and infection that can follow severe decay. For a baby tooth, a crown helps it hold space for the adult tooth until it falls out naturally.
We recommend a crown when a tooth has a large cavity, has broken, or has had pulp therapy, cases where a filling alone wouldn't hold. Children with significant decay or a fractured tooth are the most common candidates, and we care for every child gently, including those who feel nervous.
We'll rebuild your child's tooth gently and completely, so it stays healthy right up until nature replaces it.
When decay or a break is too large for a filling, a crown restores the whole tooth so it stays healthy and functional until it is naturally replaced.
