Silver Crowns

Dr Lee Prepping For Exam

Silver crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over an entire tooth. Made of stainless steel, they are commonly used in pediatric dentistry as a way of preserving baby teeth that have become significantly decayed or damaged. Although the primary teeth will eventually be lost to make room for permanent teeth, it is important that they are not lost prematurely. The premature loss of baby teeth can cause a variety of complications that can ultimately affect the permanent teeth. Therefore, stainless steel crowns provide protection for baby teeth until they are naturally lost.

Silver crowns are prefabricated, meaning they come in a range of sizes that can be customized to fit any size baby tooth. We determine the correct size and make any modifications that allow the crown to fit. The crown will then be cemented in place over the tooth. Silver crowns can be placed during a single dental appointment and they should last until the tooth is naturally lost.
