What Are Pediatric Zirconia Crowns
When a child’s teeth are severely decayed, fractured, or affected by developmental conditions like enamel hypoplasia, crowns are often necessary to restore their function and appearance. While metal crowns are durable, they may not be the ideal option for front teeth due to their metallic appearance.
Our pediatric zirconia crowns are a better alternative, especially for front teeth, as they provide a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth. They can also be used to protect teeth that have undergone baby root canals and to cover severely damaged molars.
Benefits of Zirconia Crowns
Our pediatric zirconia crowns in Katy offer various benefits for children’s teeth, including:
- Aesthetic appearance: Zirconia closely resembles the shade and texture of natural teeth, offering cosmetically appealing results.
- Biocompatible: Made from non-metallic materials, zirconia crowns are hypoallergenic and gentle on gums and surrounding tissues.
- Durable: These crowns are ideal for active children, as zirconia is a highly durable material and can withstand daily wear and tear.

What Happens During The Treatment Process
Placing zirconia crowns is a quick and comfortable procedure that typically takes just one visit. At the start of the procedure, our kids dentist may use dental sedation to ensure your child remains calm and comfortable. Next, our dentist will prepare the affected tooth by removing the decayed parts and shaping it to fit the crown.
Pediatric zirconia crowns come in various pre-made sizes. After selecting the most suitable one, we will carefully cement it in place using dental cement. After the procedure, your child can walk back with a fully restored, natural-looking smile on the same day!
