Dental Crowns
A broken or severely decayed tooth cannot heal on its own. Instead, restorative treatment in the form of a customized dental crown is required. At Maine Pediatric Dentistry, we are pleased to provide zirconia and stainless steel crowns for children and teens whose teeth need better protection.
Crafted using our digital impression system, a local dental lab can create your child’s custom crown so that it fits snugly over the top of the vulnerable tooth when put into place. Using a strong bonding agent, the restoration will feel comfortable and allow the underlying tooth to strengthen over time. If using a zirconia crown, you can expect it will look completely natural, allowing it to blend in with your child’s existing smile.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When a cavity forms, it’s best to allow our team to provide a tooth-colored filling in Auburn. This effective form of treatment uses composite resin – a malleable solution – to fill the decayed portion of the tooth so that it prevents nearby healthy teeth from becoming infected. Requiring only one appointment, your child’s smile will benefit from the non-toxic solution, allowing them to keep more of their natural tooth structure over time.
