👑🦷Dental crowns are used to
protect and restore teeth that are too damaged or decayed to treat with a white filling.
✨Stainless steel crowns are highly recommended for baby teeth due to their success rate, although, white crowns can sometimes be used as an alternative.
✨The main difference between white and stainless steel crowns, aside from aesthetics, is that white crowns are held on solely by cement and have no additional retentive properties. Also, placing a white crown is more technique sensitive, thus requiring excellent patient cooperation and ideal working conditions such as healthy gums.
✨The baby tooth remains under the crown, and both the crown and tooth fall out together when the time comes.
✨The adult tooth is unaffected by crown placement on a baby tooth.
