Stainless Steel Crowns/ Tooth-Colored Crowns  

WHY DOES MY CHILD NEED A CROWN?

Sometimes an area of decay is too large for a filling or the decay has compromised the whole side of a tooth, so there is not enough tooth structure to support a filling. If your child has an accident that results in a heavily damaged tooth or if your child is at high risk for developing cavities, Dr. Phu Le may decide it’s best to preserve the entire remaining structure.

Crowns can be made of many different materials depending on where in your child’s mouth they are to be used. Stainless steel, resin, and zirconia (Tooth-colored) are all durable choices. We offer several types of crowns depending on the location of the cavity. 

If you are concerned that your child needs a crown, Dr. Phu Le and our team are happy to answer all your questions.
