Pediatric Crowns

Overview

Every child deserves the royal treatment, especially when they need pediatric crowns. San Diego dentist Dr. Nora Tleel at Point Loma Children’s Dentistry knows whether your little one has a tooth weakened by decay or damaged from an accidental bump. Our custom-made crowns offer strength, comfort, and a touch of majesty. We proudly provide top-quality pediatric crowns in San Diego, using advanced tools like Panoramic X-rays and an Intraoral Camera to create the perfect fit.

The dentist and our friendly staff make each child feel like royalty from the moment they walk through the door. After treatment, we roll out the red carpet while restoring their smiles, from cozy blankets to popsicles.

A Royal Fix for Damaged Teeth

Pediatric crowns might not sparkle like real jewels, but their impact is just as grand. When a tooth suffers from a large cavity or crack, a crown saves the day—and the tooth. We use crowns to fully cover the damaged area, protecting it from further issues and helping kids chew, talk, and confidently smile.

Sometimes a baby tooth needs a crown after nerve treatment or because of developmental enamel issues. We treat each case individually to ensure your child gets a crown that fits their needs and feels like a natural part of their mouth.

    How to Tell if Your Child Needs a Crown

    The dentist will use Digital X-rays and a Panoramic X-ray to fully view the issue and decide if a crown is the best solution. If you suspect your child’s tooth might need a little royal reinforcement, look for these signs:

    • A large cavity too big for a regular filling
    • A broken or cracked baby tooth
    • A tooth that’s had a pulpotomy or pulpectomy
    • Weak or thin enamel that chips easily
    • Lingering tooth pain or sensitivity

    Your Child’s Crowning Moment

    Getting a crown doesn’t have to feel scary or stuffy. We make the process quick, gentle, and even a little fun. Here’s what your child’s royal treatment looks like:

    1. High-Tech Start

    We begin with an Intraoral Camera, which helps the dentist examine every detail. Your child can relax with headphones or watch their favorite show while we work.

    2. Prepping the Throne

    The doctor removes decay and shapes the tooth so the crown fits just right. We use nitrous oxide to keep your child relaxed and comfortable.

    3. Placing the Crown

    The dentist securely places the crown, giving the tooth full coverage and restoring function. Whether stainless steel or white zirconia, the crown looks natural and works hard.

    4. Royal Finish

    We send your child off with a popsicle, a prize, and a smile. Our office includes cozy amenities like blankets, chapstick, water, and even gaming consoles to make the entire visit feel like a royal affair.

    FAQs for Your Little Prince or Princess

    Are baby teeth really worth crowning?

    Yes. Baby teeth guide adult teeth into place and help your child chew and speak. Crowns protect them and prevent early tooth loss.

    How long will the crown last?

    Pediatric crowns stay in place until the baby tooth falls out naturally. They’re strong enough for daily chewing, play, and even royal feasts.

    Will the procedure hurt?

    Not at all. Nitrous oxide keeps kids calm, and our gentle techniques make the visit smooth. Most kids are back to their usual selves when they pick a prize.
