When a child’s tooth suffers significant damage from decay or injury, preserving that tooth becomes crucial for their oral health and development. Pediatric dental crowns offer an effective solution for restoring damaged baby teeth, helping maintain proper spacing and function until permanent teeth emerge. At Kool Koala Pediatric and Adolescent Dentistry, we provide specialized pediatric dental crown treatments that protect your child’s smile while supporting healthy dental development.
Our team of pediatric dental specialists understands that children’s dental needs differ significantly from those of adults. We’re committed to providing restorative treatments that address immediate concerns while considering your child’s ongoing dental development and comfort.
Sometimes a filling just isn’t enough to fix your child’s tooth. When decay is extensive or a tooth is badly damaged, a crown provides the extra protection needed to save it. We typically recommend crowns for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or broken. They’re also helpful after a baby root canal or when a tooth has weak enamel from birth.
For children who struggle with brushing or are prone to cavities, crowns can act as protective shields. Our pediatric dentists will examine your child’s tooth and help you decide if a crown is the best solution.
At Kool Koala, we offer several crown options to match your child’s needs, including:
We’ll help you choose the right crown based on which tooth needs repair, how much damage there is, and what works best for your family.

The entire procedure is typically completed in a single visit, though some specialized cases may require two appointments. Our experienced team uses behavior guidance techniques, storytelling, and step-by-step explanations to help your child feel comfortable throughout the process.
