At Kids Dental Pals & Orthodontics, we offer zirconia crowns as a durable and esthetic solution to restore your child’s damaged or decayed teeth. These tooth-colored crowns blend beautifully with your child’s natural smile while providing long-lasting protection.
Why Choose Zirconia Crowns for Kids?
Zirconia crowns are a popular choice for restoring baby teeth that are too damaged for fillings. Here’s why parents and pediatric dentists love them:
- Natural Appearance: They mimic the look of natural teeth, giving your child a confident smile.
- Durable Protection: Made from strong ceramic, zirconia crowns can withstand everyday chewing and biting.
- Biocompatible: Safe and gentle on gums and surrounding tissues.
They’re a great choice for front or back teeth when both strength and aesthetics are important.
What to Expect During the Zirconia Crown Procedure
Here’s what happens when your child receives a zirconia crown at our Simi Valley office:
Evaluation and Diagnosis:
We assess the tooth to determine if a crown is needed.
Tooth Preparation:
The damaged portion of the tooth is gently removed to make space for the crown.
