Applying white dental crowns, typically made of materials like composite resin or zirconia, is a precise process tailored to children’s unique needs. The procedure begins with a thorough examination and often an X-ray to assess the extent of tooth decay or damage. The dentist then administers local anesthesia to ensure the child’s comfort, especially since young patients may be anxious. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and the tooth is shaped to accommodate the white crown.

For primary teeth, pre-fabricated crowns (like stainless steel with a white veneer or zirconia) are commonly used due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. The dentist selects the appropriately sized white crown, ensuring it fits snugly over the prepared tooth. The crown is then cemented in place using a biocompatible dental adhesive, and the bite is checked to confirm proper alignment with surrounding teeth. The process is designed to be efficient, often completed in a single visit, to minimize stress for the child.

Our pediatric dentists carefully assess each child’s needs to recommend the most appropriate restoration for long-term oral health.
