For Healthy, Fully Functioning Smiles
If your child needs restorative treatment in the form of a filling or crown, our doctors and the Newark Smiles Dental team will create a custom treatment plan for your child and review all options with you before treatment begins. We believe a conservative approach to children’s dentistry is usually the best course of action.
Fillings are placed in the tooth following decay removal to preserve natural tooth structure. Nowadays, most fillings are made of a composite resin that is matched to your child’s natural tooth color.
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 are all durable choices and require very similar preparations.
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, our doctors may decide it’s best to preserve the entire remaining structure.
If you are concerned that your child needs a crown, our doctors will be happy to answer all your questions.
