A dental crown is a protective cover placed over a tooth that is damaged or weakened. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function — and helps preserve it until it naturally falls out or is replaced by a permanent tooth.
Crowns are often recommended when a filling isn’t enough to restore the tooth.
Your child may need a crown if they have:
A large cavity that can’t be filled
A fractured or broken tooth
A baby tooth that has had pulp therapy (nerve treatment)
Weakened enamel or developmental issues
At Harrison Pediatric Dentistry, we offer several crown options depending on the location of the tooth and your child’s needs:
Tooth-colored (white) crowns for front teeth
Stainless steel crowns for back molars (durable and cost-effective)
We’ll help you choose the right option based on both function and appearance.
Our team uses gentle techniques and calming communication to ensure your child feels safe and comfortable. If your child is anxious or has special healthcare needs, we also offer sedation options to make the experience as smooth as possible.
We’re honored to serve the next generation of healthy, confident smiles. Whether it’s your child’s first appointment or their next routine checkup, we’re here to help.
