Dr. Ying An specializes in providing stainless steel crowns for children. These crowns, often referred to as 'silver caps,' are a common pediatric dental procedure used to restore severely decayed or damaged baby teeth. Stainless steel crowns are durable, cost-effective, and can last until the baby tooth naturally falls out. They are often the treatment of choice when fillings are not sufficient to protect the tooth.
Stainless steel crowns have been used in pediatric dentistry for over 75 years!

One of the significant advantages of stainless steel crowns is their exceptional durability. Unlike other restorative materials, stainless steel can withstand the rigors of a child's oral environment, including biting and chewing forces. This high level of durability means the crown is less likely to break or chip, providing reliable, long-term protection for the affected tooth.
Stainless steel crowns are a cost-effective solution for restoring severely decayed or damaged baby teeth. They typically require only a single dental visit to place, reducing the overall treatment cost. Furthermore, their durability means fewer replacements and repairs, leading to additional savings over time.
Stainless steel crowns play a vital role in preserving the existing tooth structure. By encapsulating the entire tooth, they provide a protective barrier, preventing further decay or damage. This preservation is crucial, as it enables the baby tooth to maintain its space in the mouth, guiding the permanent tooth into its correct position.
The first step in the stainless steel crown process involves a thorough examination of your child's oral health. Dr. Ying An will assess the extent of tooth decay or damage to determine if a stainless steel crown is the best treatment option. If so, the tooth will be prepared for the crown. This preparation involves removing the decayed or damaged portions of the tooth.
Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Ying An will fit the stainless steel crown over the tooth. The crown is shaped and sized to fit your child's tooth perfectly, ensuring comfort and proper bite alignment. It is then cemented into place, providing a secure, long-lasting restoration.
After the crown placement, Dr. Ying An will provide detailed post-procedure care instructions. These will include tips on maintaining good oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of the crown and the health of the surrounding teeth. Regular dental check-ups will also be recommended to monitor the crown and your child's overall oral health.
Most commonly, pediatric dental crowns are used to treat extensive cavities, or to repair a tooth that has been damaged by an infection and was restored with a pulpotomy (baby root canal). Because dental crowns cover up and protect the entire structure of the tooth, they can strengthen the tooth after serious decay and help prevent further complications.Kids can easily damage their baby teeth during accidents, horse play, or contact sports. A crown may be needed to treat your child’s mouth after a dental injury has cracked, broken, or otherwise damaged one of their teeth. With a crown, the tooth can be quickly repaired to restore its shape and function, and help your child chew, smile, and bite normally once again. It will be completely protected as your child’s mouth continues to grow and their adult teeth begin to erupt.
