Stainless Steel Crowns for Kids – Durable Protection for Growing Smiles
At Greenwoods Pediatric Dentistry, stainless steel crowns offer a strong, reliable way to restore severely decayed or weakened baby teeth.
What is a stainless steel crown?
At Greenwoods Pediatric Dentistry, stainless steel crowns are one of the most reliable treatments for restoring severely decayed, damaged, or weakened baby teeth. These pre-formed metal caps fully cover the tooth, restoring strength, function, and protection.
Pediatric dentists recommend SSCs when:
-
A cavity is too large for a filling
-
A tooth has undergone pulp therapy
-
A baby tooth is cracked, fractured, or structurally weak
-
Long-term durability is needed until the tooth naturally falls out
Benefits of Stainless Steel Crowns for Kids
Exceptional Strength & Durability
Perfect for molars that handle heavy chewing, stainless steel crowns resist fractures and wear for reliable long-term protection.
Full-Coverage Protection
The crown covers the entire tooth, preventing further decay and preserving the baby tooth until it naturally falls out.
Long-Lasting & Low Maintenance
Once placed, stainless steel crowns require minimal maintenance and typically remain effective for years.
Safe & Biocompatible
Greenwoods Pediatric Dentistry uses crowns that are medically approved, biocompatible, and widely trusted in pediatric care.
Cost-Effective Solution
SSCs are an affordable restoration option compared to other materials, providing excellent durability and value.
Reliable for Severe Decay
Ideal for teeth with extensive decay or after pulp therapy, stainless steel crowns restore function and protect the tooth until natural exfoliation.
What Happens on the Appointment Day?
We assess the tooth with a visual exam and X-rays to determine the best treatment.
The affected tooth is cleaned, shaped, and—if necessary—treated with a pulpotomy or pulpectomy before placing the crown.
A pre-formed stainless steel crown is selected to match your child’s tooth size and bite. It is adjusted and cemented securely in place.
We ensure the stainless steel crown fits comfortably and functions naturally.
