A dental crown is a cap that completely covers a tooth that has been damaged, fractured, poorly developed or severely decayed. Crowns are used to retain the shape of your child’s teeth and protect them from further decay or damage. Dr.Floyd uses esthetic zirconia crowns which are natural in shape and are tooth colored. The tooth colored crowns are strong and able to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth.

READY TO SCHEDULE YOUR CHILD’S DENTAL APPOINTMENT?
Untreated tooth decay can spread and cause pain and other health issues. Your child may need a dental crown if they develop cavities too big to be repaired with a filling alone. It’s crucial to save your child’s primary teeth for proper growth and development of adult teeth rather than extracting them.
