White Crowns: A Modern Solution
Luckily, technology has advanced, and now we have a fantastic alternative to silver crowns: white crowns. White crowns are made from a material called zirconia, which is extremely strong and durable. They look just like natural teeth, so they seamlessly blend in with your child's smile.
The process of placing a white crown is quite straightforward and very similar to the process for placing a silver crown. Here's a quick breakdown:
- Cavity Removal: First, we carefully remove the cavity from the tooth, just like we would with a filling. We want to make sure all the decay is gone so we can prevent further problems.
- Tooth Preparation: Next, we trim down the tooth slightly to make room for the crown. We do this in a way that preserves as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
- Crown Fitting and Cementation: We then select a crown that is the perfect size and shape for your child's tooth. We fit the crown on the tooth to ensure a comfortable bite and a natural appearance. Once everything looks good, we cement the crown in place using a special, biocompatible cement.
Here at Kids Tooth Team, we're proud to be one of the few practices in the Orion Township area that offer Spreck Technologies white crowns. Spreck Technologies are the leading experts in pediatric crowns, and we're confident in their quality and success.
Why Choose White Crowns?
Here are just a few reasons why we recommend white crowns over silver crowns for our young patients:
- Improved Aesthetics: White crowns are virtually invisible in a smile! They blend in perfectly with natural teeth, so your child won't have to worry about feeling self-conscious or teased.
- Increased Success Rate: Spreck Technologies crowns are known for their exceptional success rate. They are designed to be durable and fit snugly on the tooth, minimizing the risk of complications.
- Easier Handling and Fitting: White crowns are much easier to handle and fit precisely. This means a more comfortable experience for your child, with less chance of discomfort or issues with biting.
- Positive Impact on Self-Esteem: When kids feel good about their smiles, it can boost their self-confidence in all areas of their lives. White crowns can help kids feel happier and more outgoing, and they can help eliminate any anxieties about their dental appearance.
We understand that no child wants to be bullied. Unfortunately, bullying is a problem in many schools, and kids can sometimes be cruel. We firmly believe that every child deserves to feel comfortable and confident with their smile, and white crowns offer a solution that can help prevent bullying related to dental appearance.
The Power of Choice
One of the biggest benefits of white crowns is that they give parents and families the power of choice. When we meet with families to discuss treatment options, we always want to be sure they are comfortable with the decisions being made. Some families may still prefer a silver crown for their child, which we completely understand. But for families who want to give their kids the most natural looking and comfortable option, white crowns are a wonderful choice.
Taking Care of White Crowns
Once your child has a white crown, it's important to make sure they keep it clean and healthy. Good oral hygiene is essential, especially with crowns. Just like you would with fillings and silver crowns, we recommend that your child:
- Brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Floss at least once a day
- Visit us for regular checkups and cleanings
By following these simple steps, you can help your child maintain the health and longevity of their white crown.
Choosing the Right Pediatric Dentist
When it comes to your child's dental care, choosing the right pediatric dentist is crucial. You want to make sure that you have a dentist who is experienced in placing white crowns, as well as a dentist who is dedicated to providing your child with the best possible care.
