Pediatric crown placement is performed to restore severely decayed or damaged baby teeth, helping maintain proper tooth function and alignment. Crowns are often used in children to cover teeth that cannot be restored with fillings alone.
The procedure involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and placing a crown over the remaining structure. Pediatric crowns are typically made from stainless steel, composite resin, or zirconia, and are designed to be durable and aesthetic.
Pediatric crown placement helps preserve the health of the primary teeth, ensuring that the child can chew, speak, and maintain proper alignment until the adult teeth emerge.
