As a caring parent, you want to ensure your child’s smile stays healthy and bright. Even with diligent home care, cavities or injuries can compromise a primary tooth. At Mor Smiles 4 Kids, we strive to preserve these vital baby teeth until their permanent replacements arrive. That’s when pediatric dental crowns become a trusted solution.
Crowns are protective caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape and strength. They’re often used when a filling isn’t enough to repair a broken or weakened tooth.
A crown fits snugly over the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, acting as a durable new surface. Pediatric crowns come in two main types: stainless steel and zirconia. Zirconia crowns are favored for their natural tooth-like appearance.

Stainless steel crowns have been a reliable choice for over a century. They effectively protect primary teeth until the adult tooth is ready to emerge. Preserving baby teeth is essential for proper jaw development and spacing.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns are crafted from zirconium dioxide, a strong, white ceramic material. Milled from a solid block, zirconia is tougher and more resilient than other ceramics. Its smooth surface also reduces wear on neighboring teeth.
Zirconia’s strength means the crown can be made thinner, preserving more of your child’s natural tooth underneath. Maintaining healthy tooth structure supports the crown’s durability and the tooth’s long-term health.
