Durable Protection for Your Child’s Teeth
At Van Orman Dental, we offer stainless steel crowns as a reliable solution to protect and restore your child’s damaged or decayed teeth. These crowns are strong, durable, and specially designed for children’s primary (baby) teeth, ensuring they maintain proper function and alignment until the permanent teeth erupt.
What Are Stainless Steel Crowns?
Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are pre-made, metal dental crowns used to cover and protect severely decayed or damaged baby teeth. They act as a protective pulp capping, restoring the shape, strength, and function of the tooth while preventing further decay.
When Does a Child Need a Stainless Steel Crown?
A stainless steel crown may be recommended if your child has:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored with a filling
- A cracked, broken, or weakened tooth
- Had a baby root canal (pulpotomy or pulpectomy)
- Hypoplastic teeth (underdeveloped enamel)
- A high risk of cavities and needs long-term tooth protection
What to Expect During the Procedure
Exam & Diagnosis:- We assess the tooth’s condition using a dental exam and X-rays to determine if a crown is needed.
Tooth Preparation:- The decayed portion of the tooth is cleaned and reshaped to fit the crown properly.
Crown Placement:- A pre-made stainless steel crown is customized and securely placed over the tooth.
Final Adjustments & Care Instructions:- We ensure a comfortable fit and provide post-care instructions for maintaining the crown.
