What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a small, cap-like structure designed to fit over and cover the visible surface of your child’s tooth. Dr. Takiar uses durable, high-quality dental materials that are designed to stand the test of time, like stainless steel and zirconia. Typically, our team recommends this treatment in the following situations:
- To help support a tooth that may need a large dental filling.
- To strengthen and preserve a tooth that has sustained damage from trauma.
- To enhance the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
- To protect a tooth after pulp therapy.

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
Pediatric dental crowns are prefabricated and are sized for specific baby teeth. Dr. Takiar makes getting a dental crown as simple and fear-free as possible for kids. First, she will begin by removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of the tooth. This will allow the crown to seat evenly with the surrounding teeth and ensure your child’s smile remains the same! Once there is sufficient clearance for the crown to be tried on, it will be fitted to ensure an adequate seal and then immediately cemented. Getting a pediatric prefabricated steel or zirconia crowns is a simple one-visit experience!
