Why Dental Crowns Matter
Your teeth are essential for everyday tasks like eating and speaking, making their health and strength a top priority. At Great Grins for KIDS, we’re here to support your child’s oral health with services designed to protect and restore teeth, including dental crowns. Crowns provide a reliable solution when teeth need extra help to stay strong and functional, ensuring your child’s smile stays healthy and confident.
What Dental Crowns Do
Dental crowns act as protective coverings, or “shells,” that wrap around teeth to strengthen and extend their lifespan, especially when damage or decay is too severe for a filling alone. Stainless steel crowns are commonly used for baby molars, offering durability, while crowns for front teeth are crafted from glass, plastic, or porcelain materials for a more natural appearance. Crowns are a great option for severely worn, decayed, or fractured teeth, helping them last until they naturally fall out. Your dentist can guide you in choosing the best type of crown—stainless steel, composite, or porcelain—to suit your child’s specific needs.
