Pediatric Dental Crowns
IN BILOXI, MS
At McMurphy Pediatric Dentistry, we provide pediatric dental crowns to restore and protect your child’s teeth when they are damaged or decayed. Serving families in Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Mississippi, Dr. Austin McMurphy and our team focus on maintaining your child’s oral health while ensuring comfort during treatment. Pediatric crowns help children retain healthy primary teeth, which are essential for proper chewing, speaking, and guiding permanent teeth into place.
What Are Pediatric Dental Crowns?
Pediatric dental crowns, also known as baby tooth crowns, are restorations designed to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. They help restore the tooth’s shape, size, and function while preventing further decay or damage.
Personalized Consultation and Examination
IN BILOXI, MS
During your child’s visit, Dr. McMurphy will examine their teeth and discuss cosmetic and oral health needs with both you and your child. This personalized consultation ensures that veneers are the right choice and that the treatment plan is tailored to your child’s unique needs.
The Crown Placement Process
During the crown procedure, Dr. Austin McMurphy will carefully prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged areas while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. This ensures the crown fits securely and provides maximum protection for the underlying tooth. Once the tooth is prepared, the crown is placed and adjusted to match your child’s bite and the natural shape of the tooth, creating a comfortable and functional fit.
The entire process is designed to be comfortable, efficient, and minimally invasive, with special attention to helping your child feel at ease throughout the visit. Local anesthesia may be used as needed to reduce any discomfort, and our friendly team provides support and reassurance to make the experience positive. After the procedure, your child leaves with a restored, durable tooth that helps maintain proper chewing, speaking, and overall oral health while preventing further damage or decay.
Types of Crowns We Use
IN BILOXI, MS
Dr. McMurphy may use different types of crowns depending on the tooth’s location and needs:
- Stainless steel crowns for posterior (back) teeth
- Zirconia or bonded face crowns for anterior (front) teeth
These materials are durable, safe, and designed to protect your child’s teeth while maintaining a natural appearance for visible areas.
Crowns are recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, or worn down. By restoring the tooth with a crown, we help prevent further damage, maintain proper tooth alignment, and support overall oral health and function.
