Dental Crowns for Kids: three distinguishing qualities that set them apart

Oral health is a journey that should ideally begin in childhood. By partnering with your child, as their mouths are still developing, we can help them avoid the pain and damage associated with dental disease. Led by Dr. Mona Houshiar, Mona Dental for Kids also identifies and addresses any issues that may arise if not prevented early on. That way, your child avoids further damage that may threaten the health and structural integrity of teeth and other parts of the mouth and body. Our office in Spring, Texas, generally prioritizes conservative treatments. However, there are situations where crowns are necessary to repair damaged tooth structures that cannot be effectively treated with oral care, dental fillings, or other restorative treatments.

We are pleased to introduce you to the key characteristics of expertly planned, designed, and placed dental crowns for quality dentistry in the comfort of your child’s home.

Stand-out feature No. 1: Versatility

Crowns are an incredibly versatile way to preserve teeth with all sorts of damage, thus avoiding extractions. During an evaluation, Dr. Mona may recommend a dental crown if your child’s tooth has sustained a big cavity, which cannot be strengthened with a simple filling alone. Or, an old or large filling may compromise the remaining tooth structure, leaving it vulnerable to future decay and damage. Certain fractures or cracks can only be effectively treated with crowns.

Stand-out feature No. 2: Durability

Due to Dr. Houshiar’s exacting techniques and the use of the highest-quality materials, the crowns placed at our office can last a lifetime with good and consistent oral care. Once the dental material has been shaped to cover and strengthen the existing, prepared tooth structure, the crown should hold up just like natural and otherwise healthy and strong teeth. We know this is what you expect from us, and our approaches to crowns and dental care help support the best long-term investments in your child’s oral and overall health.

Stand-out feature No. 3: Natural-looking

Your child deserves to have a smile that exudes confidence and pride. Treating dark discoloration and other visible signs of cavities and decay is essential. However, placing a crown should lead to minimal cosmetic complications or drawbacks. Today’s young and adult dental patients benefit from restorations made with materials indistinguishable in appearance from the “real deal.” These materials include dental ceramics like porcelain. We can even blend ceramics with a metal core to balance strength and a stunning appearance. The tooth’s visible part looks natural, while the underlying metal supports optimal strength and lasting function.

Our distinctive approach to caring for the oral health needs of children is essential in supporting all these characteristics. We encourage parents in and around the Spring, TX area to visit us and to experience what makes Mona Dental for Kids so different for themselves—call (832) 662-3008 to schedule your child’s check-up today.
