Stainless steel crowns are the most common crowns used by pediatric dentists to restore primary (baby) teeth. They are customized to fit your child’s tooth and are extremely durable and easy to place. Your child may need a stainless steel crown if:
• A primary tooth has extensive decay on multiple surfaces
• A tooth has a very large filling and further decay is present
• The tooth is fractured, broken or cracked
• The tooth has had pulp therapy
