At Pebble Pediatric Dentistry, your child’s comfort, safety, and smile come first. Led by a board-certified pediatric dentist and mommy, we specialize in gentle, personalized dental care designed just for kids. Our calming, child-centered environment helps young patients feel confident and cared for at every visit — because a great dental experience starts with trust, compassion, and a little bit of fun.
At Pebble Pediatric Dentistry, we use high-quality pediatric dental crowns to restore and protect damaged or decayed teeth, ensuring your child’s smile stays healthy and functional. Designed for comfort and durability, our crowns safeguard the tooth’s structure while blending seamlessly with their natural smile — helping your child chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dental crowns are protective caps placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function after significant damage. In children, crowns are commonly used when a tooth has been affected by deep decay, has fractured, or has undergone a procedure like a pulpotomy (a baby root canal). Rather than removing the tooth entirely, placing a crown helps save it — maintaining proper chewing, speech development, and space for permanent teeth.
At Pebble Pediatric Dentistry, we use pediatric crowns that are specially designed for smaller teeth and growing mouths. These crowns can be made of stainless steel (often used on molars for strength), or tooth-colored materials that match your child’s natural smile — especially for front teeth. They’re both functional and esthetic, giving your child a restored tooth that looks and works like new.
Crowns help prevent further decay, reduce sensitivity, and protect the underlying tooth structure from infection or breakage. By restoring the tooth instead of extracting it, we support your child’s long-term oral development, bite alignment, and comfort.
The procedure is gentle, quick, and done right here in our kid-friendly office. We take extra steps to make sure your child is calm and comfortable throughout the appointment, whether that’s through nitrous oxide sedation or other comfort-focused techniques.
If you have questions or think dental crowns may be right for your child, our team is here to walk you through every step of the process.
Parents often wonder why a baby tooth would need a crown — and the answer is simple: keeping baby teeth healthy helps protect your child’s long-term oral health. Crowns are used when a filling wouldn’t be strong enough to restore the tooth. They prevent pain, preserve chewing function, and avoid early tooth loss. Our crowns are tooth-colored and blend naturally with your child’s smile. The procedure is quick, safe, and done right here in our pediatric office with your child’s comfort in mind.
A crown may be needed if a tooth has a deep cavity, crack, or has undergone pulp therapy. It helps restore strength and prevents further damage or infection.

Yes! We offer tooth-colored crowns that blend in naturally, especially on front teeth. On back molars, we may also offer stainless steel options for extra durability.
Crowns are made to last until the baby tooth naturally falls out — usually several years. With good brushing and regular checkups, they stay strong and effective.
