children's Restorative Dentist in Clear Lake

If your child’s tooth has been severely damaged by untreated tooth decay or an oral injury, it may need to be protected with a dental crown. Pediatric crowns are used to cover up and protect remaining enamel and strengthen the tooth. For younger children who still have their baby (primary) teeth, we options of using either zirconium (white) or stainless steel crowns. Crowns effectively prevent further damage and decay to the tooth. Because baby teeth are meant to fall out naturally, keeping them in good shape is important for spacing in your child's mouth until the proper time.
‍
For older children or teenagers who may need a dental crown on a permanent tooth, Dr. Brock recommends stainless steel crowns at our Clear Lake office. This bridges the gap until they are old enough to have a porcelain permanent crown placed instead. Children's gums and teeth continue to grown in the mouth throughout adolescence. It is typically not recommended to place a permanent porcelain crown until adulthood. The crown placement process is minimally invasive, and we can offer dental sedation to help keep your child calm and comfortable throughout the entire procedure. You can always trust that our team will take care of your little ones as if they were our own.

If your child has been complaining about a toothache or a sensitive tooth, they may need a crown or filling. The faster you get treatment, the better the outcome will be.
