With recent advances in ceramics technology, our pediatric patients and parents now have a cosmetic option instead of a metal stainless steel crown when a baby molar has a particularly large cavity.
Little Smiles of Levittown is proud to offer pediatric zirconia crowns, the best option for metal-free esthetic pediatric crowns. Zirconia crowns are tooth-colored, prefabricated ceramic crowns especially designed for children. These crowns are made from zirconium oxide, are very rigid and strong, and biocompatible with the oral tissues. They are used to cap or cover baby teeth with large or deep cavities, enamel defects, or those that have had nerve treatment.
Zirconia crowns require a more technique-sensitive preparation of the tooth, as well as a very exact fit due to their rigid, non-flexing structure. We are specially trained to provide white zirconia crowns and look forward to restoring your child’s smile back to its natural beauty.
