Decoding the Dental Crown Mystery

Think of a dental crown as a custom-made hat for your child’s tooth. It’s a protective cover that fits snugly over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength, which often leads parents to ask when kids need dental crowns in the first place. Using kid-friendly materials, crowns are designed to be durable while blending naturally with a child’s smile, helping protect the tooth as it continues to develop.

Why Dental Crowns Are the Superheroes of Kids’ Dentistry

Dental crowns don’t just look good; they’re on a mission to save smiles! Here’s why they’re the caped crusaders of pediatric dental care:

  • Protect damaged teeth
  • Restore the ability to chew and speak
  • Prevent more invasive treatments
  • Durable, grows with your child
  • Boost confidence with improved appearance
  • Maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth
  • Custom-made for a perfect fit

The Crown Creation Adventure

Embarking on the crown journey at Discovery Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics is an exciting adventure. Here’s your child’s royal treatment itinerary:

  1. Tooth Throne Preparation: We gently prepare the tooth for its new crown.
  2. The Fitting: We ensure the new premade crown fits perfectly and comfortably.
  3. Placement: We cement the crown in place, completing the transformation.
  4. Instructions: We provide care instructions to keep the crown in top shape.

When Does a Tooth Need Its Royal Treatment?

Not every tooth needs a crown, but your child might need a crown if:

  • A tooth has a large cavity that’s too big for a filling
  • A tooth is weakened and at risk of breaking
  • A tooth is severely discolored or misshapen
  • A tooth has had a root canal and needs protection

Dr. Fazeli, our pediatric dentist, will assess your child’s teeth and recommend the best treatment options.

Crown FAQs

Will getting a crown hurt my child?

Not at all! We use gentle techniques and local anesthesia to ensure your child’s comfort.

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care, crowns can last several years, often until the primary tooth falls out naturally.

Can my child eat normally with a crown?

Absolutely! After a short adjustment period, your child can eat all their favorite foods.

I take my kids, ages 5 and 9, to Discovery and have had a great experience both with the cleanings as well as a cavity filling. They make my young kids feel comfortable from start to finish which is not always the case. The dentist is kind and thorough.

Dr. Fazeli and her staff were so great with my son who unfortunately had an appliance placed incorrectly causing him a great deal of discomfort. They fit him in promptly and were so gentle and made the removal so easy! I also really appreciated that she took the time to answer my questions after since our son is a more complicated case than most. The office also had a nice play area and a fun prize at the end which my son loved!

Dr. Afsoon Fazeli is kind and knowledgeable dentist. She was patient with all my questions and gave me a lot of helpful information. Her transparency helped me to understand my son’s oral situation so that I felt very informed moving forward with our next steps.

Had a great experience at this dentist office. All of the staff were lovely. I’m really glad this will be my girls first memory of the dentist. The hygienists walked both girls through each step before doing it. They allowed me to sit on the chair and hold them for comfort. They were offered headphones to listen to the tv show playing from screens in the ceiling. My older daughter was given a coin at the end of each appointment where she could pick from many varieties of prize machines. My younger daughter was given an age appropriate toy that was safe for her. The waiting area has tablets and some toys and is bright, colorful, and welcoming. My older daughter needed a document signed to start school and that was done easily and quickly. Neither girl had any issues with their teeth while we were patients, but the dentist offered tips to keep it that way depending on each girls’ mouth. Highly recommended and wish we weren’t so far away to continue going.

We live in kauai and I needed a pediatric expert to view an xray for a second opinion (I was willing to fly for treatment if needed and was feeling very concerned about the treatment plan). After 7 calls, no other dentists would even look at the image. Discovery dental was so kind in offering her expert advice on the x-ray. She even looked at the other x-rays and mentioned a cavity to look out for. I was so impressed with her bedside manner, time provided, and guidance. The office comes well recommended by others and they would certainly be my go-to if i was based in Encinitas. I plan to go there on our trips back and forth.
