Stainless Steel Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are caps shaped like teeth. These caps fit directly over individual teeth. Stainless steel crowns provided by Just 4 Me Pediatric Dentistry helps preserve baby teeth that have endured damage or decay. Primary teeth don’t last forever yet that does not mean their premature loss is optimal for your child’s dental health. If baby teeth are lost sooner than they should be, all sorts of complications might arise that create issues with adult teeth. Stainless steel crowns safeguard baby teeth all the way up until the point at which they naturally fall out of their sockets.

If your child has had one or several teeth that have decayed or become damaged, reach out to Just 4 Me Pediatric Dentistry at (716) 688-7721 (Getzville) or (716) 436-2130 (Buffalo) to schedule an appointment. If a diminutive dental filling will not restore the tooth, pediatric crowns will likely be recommended. Furthermore, children who require a baby root canal will also benefit from the addition of a stainless steel crown carefully positioned in place after the procedure.

Your child will be completely comfortable when the stainless steel crown is gently placed in position. He or she will be sedated to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation from the start of the procedure all the way to the end. Once the damaged/decayed tissue is removed from the tooth, the prefabricated stainless steel crown customized specifically for your child’s mouth is added.
