Pediatric dental crowns are a safe, effective way to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. Designed specifically for children, these crowns protect and strengthen primary teeth, helping your child chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Our gentle, child-friendly approach ensures every visit is comfortable, positive, and stress-free for both kids and parents. To learn more or schedule with us, contact our office today!

Why do kids get crowns instead of fillings?

Kids may need dental crowns instead of fillings when a tooth has extensive decay or damage that a simple filling can’t repair. Crowns provide full coverage and protect the remaining tooth structure, helping it stay strong until the adult tooth comes in. They’re especially useful for baby teeth, which play an important role in chewing, speech development, and maintaining space for permanent teeth to grow in properly.

How are pediatric dental crowns done in one day?

Pediatric dental crowns can often be completed in a single visit using pre-fitted stainless steel or tooth-colored crowns. After removing decay and shaping the tooth, Dr. Bajaj selects a crown that fits perfectly, then securely cements it in place. This efficient process eliminates the need for multiple appointments, helping kids stay comfortable and reducing anxiety so your child leaves the same day with a healthy, fully restored smile!

Does getting a dental crown hurt?

Our process is designed to keep kids as comfortable as possible throughout treatment. Before the procedure begins, our team uses local anesthesia to completely numb the tooth and surrounding area. For children who feel especially nervous, sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation are also available to help them relax. After the procedure, your child might feel mild tenderness for a day or two, which usually goes away quickly and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.

Does my child’s dental crown require any special care?

Caring for a child’s dental crown is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth. Encourage daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and regular dental checkups. Avoid sticky or hard foods at first that could loosen or damage the crown. With good oral hygiene and healthy habits, a pediatric crown can last until the baby tooth naturally falls out, keeping your child’s smile healthy and strong during their developmental years.

I don't normally write reviews but my experience at Dentistry 4 Children was excellent! The entire staff was wonderful. Dr. Ro is extremely knowledgeable and a great dentist. My kids love her and the staff. She is very good at explaining what she is going to do before she does it and best of all, she is very gentle. If you are looking for professional, competent and courteous care from a dentist, look no further!

"Dr. Ro" (as my son likes to call her) is super sweet and extremely patient. My son was a difficult patient and she went out of her way to accommodate him. All the staff is great. The office is cute and welcoming. Right next to Bicentennial park so we get to play after dental visit!

Dr. Ro and her staff are the BEST of the BEST!! We are always treated like family when we walk in the door. The staff goes out of their way to make sure that my children have a great experience every time they come in. Dr. Ro always takes time to talk to me after each appointment, and I always leave feeling informed. I would highly recommend this office to any parent looking for a dental home for their children!!
