Zirconia Crown
What are pediatric dental caps?
A dental crown is a restoration that covers or “caps” a tooth, restoring it to its normal size and shape while strengthening it and protecting it from further cracking or breakage. Tooth crowns are necessary when a tooth is broken down to the point where a filling won’t be effective. In addition, dental crowns are often needed following a pediatric root canal, wherein part of the baby tooth’s nerve has been removed.
Zirconia Crowns (Tooth-Colored)
White crowns made of Zirconia can be used to strengthen decayed teeth and they are commonly used when restoring visible front teeth. They are close in color to the natural teeth, so they are more cosmetically pleasing. Dr. Rohan Bhatt has successfully treated many cases and has himself designed Pediatric Preformed Zirconia Crowns (Signature crowns) which are marketed all over the country and used by Pediatric dentists not only in India but in many countries too.
How is it done?
Once numbed, our pediatric dentists will shape the affected tooth to the necessary form before introducing the appropriate type of dental crown, which is designed to fit tightly over it.
This is done with specially equipped Laughing gas sedation units for each chair so that child’s experience is minimally invasive and fun-loving.
Then the tooth crown will be cemented into place.
After the pediatric dental crown procedure, children will be advised to avoid hard or sticky foods in order to prevent fractures to the crown.
This dental restoration stays intact until the baby tooth falls out naturally.
