DID YOU KNOW?
Pediatric dental crowns can last for years with proper care.
Why Should I Get Pediatric Dental Crowns?
If your child has a tooth that is severely decayed or damaged, a dental crown may be the best solution. Dental crowns can protect a weak tooth from breaking, hold together parts of a cracked tooth, and can be used to hold a dental bridge in place. They can also cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth, giving your child a more confident smile. Moreover, crowns are often necessary after a root canal to protect the restored tooth. Choosing to get a pediatric dental crown can prevent further damage and potential tooth loss, ensuring your child's oral health is maintained.

The Benefits Of Pediatric Dental Crowns in Huntington Beach
Improved Oral Health
Pediatric dental crowns can significantly improve your child's oral health. By covering a damaged or decayed tooth, a crown can prevent further decay, infection, or damage. This is crucial as untreated dental issues can lead to more serious problems, including gum disease and tooth loss.
Restored Function
A damaged or decayed tooth can make it difficult for your child to eat or speak properly. A dental crown restores the function of the tooth, allowing your child to eat their favorite foods and speak clearly without discomfort or difficulty.
Enhanced Appearance
A dental crown can greatly enhance the appearance of your child's smile. If your child has a discolored or misshapen tooth, a crown can cover it, creating a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile. This can boost your child's confidence and self-esteem.
Our Huntington Beach Pediatric Dental Crown Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
The first step in the dental crown process is a thorough examination of your child's oral health. Dr. Quan will assess the damaged tooth and prepare it for the crown. This may involve removing decay and shaping the tooth to fit the crown.
Taking Impressions
Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Quan will take an impression of your child's tooth. This impression is used to create a crown that perfectly fits your child's tooth and matches their natural teeth in color and shape.
Placement of the Crown
The final step is the placement of the crown. Dr. Quan will carefully place the crown over your child's tooth, ensuring it fits correctly and looks natural. He will then cement the crown in place, creating a strong and durable restoration.
