What are Pedo Zirconia Crowns?
Zirconia crowns, made from a highly biocompatible and aesthetic material, are used to restore primary teeth. These crowns are not only strong but also blend seamlessly with natural teeth, maintaining an aesthetic appearance.
Zirconia crowns are often used to repair primary teeth damaged by decay or trauma. Unlike traditional stainless steel or metal crowns, zirconia crowns are tooth-colored, making them virtually indistinguishable from surrounding teeth.
Typically, pedo zirconia crowns are placed by a pediatric dentist or a general dentist experienced in treating children. The procedure involves removing any decay or damaged tissue, shaping the tooth to fit the crown, and then bonding the crown in place using dental cement.
Why are Pedo Zirconia Crowns Needed?
When a baby tooth has significant decay, fractures, or other damage that cannot be effectively treated with a filling, a strip crown may be recommended. Strip crowns help to:
- Protect the tooth from further decay or damage
- Restore proper function for chewing and speaking
- Preserve space for permanent teeth to erupt correctly
- Improve the appearance of severely damaged teeth, boosting a child’s confidence in their smile
