Pediatric dental crowns are tooth-shaped "caps" that are placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. Dr. Angie Sage and Dr. Kati Walker at Alamo Heights Pediatric Dentistry provide this treatment to protect and preserve your child's smile. Pediatric dental crowns are typically used when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to hold a filling, when decay extends to the nerve tissues of the tooth, or to protect a weak tooth from breaking.
When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, it can impact the overall dental structure, causing pain and discomfort for your child. When decay in a tooth is extensive or if the nerve of the tooth is affected, a restoration such as a filling may not be a viable option. A pediatric dental crown can restore the functionality of the tooth, allowing your child to eat and speak normally. Plus, it can prevent further damage to the tooth and potentially avoid the need for more invasive procedures in the future. Dr. Angie Sage and Dr. Walker are highly experienced in performing this treatment in San Antonio, ensuring a comfortable and positive experience for your child.
Pediatric dental crowns can last between 5 to 15 years with proper care!

Pediatric dental crowns restore the normal function of the tooth, allowing your child to eat and speak without discomfort. The crowns are designed to mimic the shape and size of natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural feel. This means your child can continue to enjoy their favorite foods and speak clearly without any issues.
Pediatric dental crowns offer long-term protection for damaged or decayed teeth. They act as a strong barrier, preventing further decay or damage to the tooth.
The first step in the process involves a thorough examination of your child's oral health. Dr. Sage and Dr. Walker will evaluate the condition of the tooth and determine if a crown is the best solution. The tooth will then be prepared for the crown, which may involve removing decayed or weakened areas. Pediatric dental crowns are pre-formed so there is no need for additional appointments. Dr. Sage and Dr. Walker will select the appropriate crown for your child’s tooth. The crown is then cemented into place, providing a strong and durable solution for your child’s needs.
