Children’s Dental Crowns

Sometimes, the best choice to keep your child’s teeth healthy is placing either a stainless steel or ceramic crown over the damaged tooth. If a tooth is too damaged or decayed to perform a filling, a crown, or “cap,” may be the best option to save the tooth. Crowns are thin, veneer-like dental prosthetics that sit over the tooth’s root and cover the entire visible portion of the tooth. They are attached by removing the majority of the remaining tooth with a dentist’s drill and permanently adhering them in place. We invite you to contact us for more information about dental crowns in Reno, Nevada, and to make an appointment with our dentist.

Our Services

Dr. Brandi Dupont and our team are committed to helping you find the right type of dental crown for your child’s needs. We are here to walk you through every step of their treatment plan, and we will explain the procedure as well as any after care instructions simply so you can feel confident about your child’s treatment.

There are different types of crowns available for your child’s teeth, and our dentist will advise you on which type might be the right option for your child’s smile and oral health needs:

Stainless Steel Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are intended to sit over the teeth instead of being permanently attached to the root structure. Stainless steel crowns are usually designed to stop baby teeth from falling out prematurely, which can affect the health and alignment of your child’s adult teeth in the future.

White Crowns

White crowns are made of a synthetic porcelain that closely matches the natural color and hardness of your child’s teeth and are intended as a permanent solution to advanced decay or damage. White crowns are aesthetically and structurally better but require more of the original tooth material to be removed to fit comfortably.

Why Patients Choose Northern Nevada Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics

The absolute BEST children's dentist office, ever. They've been incredibly patient with my son who has sensory processing disorder and my daughter who has high anxiety about dentists. The entire staff is wonderful and kind. I highly recommend this office and this doctor.

We would highly recommend Dr DuPont! We’ve been going to her for at least 12 years and she is just the best. Kind, compassionate and a very good dentist. Her new office is beautiful and her new office staff are all very nice.

I just love them! They were able to fit my daughter in last minute, even stayed open to get her issues taken care of. Also gave an after hours call to check on my daughter. They are great with my kids!
