Pediatric Dental Crowns in Atlanta

When Does a Child Need a Dental Crown?

Crowns are recommended when a tooth:

• Has extensive decay that can’t be treated with a filling
• Has undergone a pulpotomy or “baby root canal”
• Is cracked or weakened from trauma or previous work
• Is part of a long-term treatment plan before orthodontics or braces

A crown covers and protects the remaining tooth, allowing your child to eat, speak, and smile confidently — while preserving tooth function until it’s naturally lost or replaced.

Crown Options for Children and Teens

We offer several crown materials depending on tooth location, age, and visibility:

• Stainless Steel Crowns: Durable, cost-effective, and ideal for back molars or baby teeth in young children.
• Tooth-Colored Crowns: Blended to match natural teeth and often used for front teeth or visible areas — especially in teens.
• Preformed Zirconia or Composite Crowns: Stronger aesthetic options for specific cases.

Our team will walk you through the best choice for your child’s situation, prioritizing both function and appearance.

What to Expect During a Pediatric Crown Visit

The crown placement process is safe, straightforward, and designed around your child’s comfort. Here’s what typically happens:

1. We numb the area and prepare the tooth by removing decay or damaged material
2. The tooth is shaped for the crown
3. A pre-sized crown is selected, adjusted, and cemented
4. Bite and fit are checked and adjusted for comfort
5. We review aftercare, hygiene tips, and what to expect next

For anxious or sensory-sensitive patients, we offer oral or IV sedation right in our office.

Crowns Provided In-House — No Referrals Needed

At Dentistry for Children and Teens, we don’t refer you out for specialty care. All restorative services are completed in-house, including:

• Fillings for early-stage cavities
• Extractions for non-restorable teeth
• Sedation dentistry for children with anxiety or complex needs
• Preventive cleanings to help avoid future decay

Your child can receive everything under one roof, with providers who specialize in pediatric and teen dentistry.
