Dental Crowns and Pulpotomies for Kids in Allentown

Dental crowns are protective caps placed over a child's tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma.

Children with extensive tooth decay that cannot be repaired with a filling, children with teeth that are weak or prone to fracture, and/or children who have undergone a pulpotomy and require additional protection for the treated tooth make great candidates for dental crowns.

• Stainless Steel Crowns: These crowns are prefabricated and highly durable, making them ideal for restoring baby teeth in the back of the mouth. They are cost-effective and provide excellent protection for the tooth.
• White Colored Crowns: Also known as tooth-colored or composite crowns, these crowns are made from a material that matches the color of the child's natural teeth. They are often used for front teeth or when aesthetics are a concern.

A pulpotomy is a common dental procedure that involves the removal of the infected or damaged pulp/nerve tissue from the center of a tooth while preserving the healthy portions.
