Stainless Steel Crowns in Dallas, GA

Trusted Pediatric and Family Dental Care for Growing Smiles

Protecting Your Child’s Teeth with Reliable Pediatric Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are a tried-and-true solution for baby teeth that have large cavities, have undergone pulp therapy (a “baby root canal”), or have experienced fractures or wear that can’t be repaired with a filling alone.These crowns are pre-formed to fit comfortably over the tooth and are placed right here at our Dallas, GA office in a single visit. Once in place, the crown protects the tooth while keeping your child’s bite aligned and their dental development on track.

The Role of Baby Teeth in Lifelong Oral Health

Many parents don’t realize that baby teeth play an important role in long-term oral health. They help children chew, speak clearly, and hold space for permanent teeth to grow in properly. Losing a baby tooth too early due to decay can lead to spacing issues, bite problems, and even future orthodontic treatment.

At Crossroads Pediatric Dentistry, we take a preventive approach, using stainless steel crowns when needed to protect your child’s smile and support healthy development — all while keeping their comfort and confidence at the center of care.

Benefits of Stainless Steel Crowns

Stainless steel crowns are a trusted solution for protecting primary teeth with extensive decay or damage. They are especially effective for restoring molars where strength and durability matter most. Here are some key advantages:

  • Built to withstand chewing and grinding

  • Covers the entire tooth to prevent further damage

  • Ideal for severe cavities

  • Helps maintain proper alignment

Reliable Protection with Stainless Steel Crowns

For teeth that are badly decayed or structurally compromised, stainless steel crowns offer a strong and lasting solution. These crowns are often recommended for back baby teeth where strength is more important than appearance.At Crossroads Pediatric Dentistry in Dallas, GA, we use stainless steel crowns to protect teeth that cannot be restored with fillings alone. They cover the entire tooth, helping maintain function, spacing, and comfort until the baby tooth naturally falls out. Our team ensures the procedure is quick, comfortable, and tailored to your child’s specific dental needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

We want you to feel comfortable, informed, and confident before your visit. Here are answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask.

Call us right away. In most cases, we can easily re-cement the crown or replace it if necessary. It’s important not to delay, as an unprotected tooth can be sensitive or prone to further decay.

Care is simple! Just stick to good daily brushing and flossing habits. Avoid sticky candies (like taffy or caramel) that might dislodge the crown, and continue with regular dental checkups so we can keep an eye on it.

In many cases, yes. Preserving the baby tooth with a crown helps maintain proper spacing for adult teeth, supports normal speech development, and prevents future orthodontic problems.

These crowns are extremely durable and often last until the baby tooth naturally falls out, which can be several years. They're built to withstand chewing, grinding, and daily wear and tear.

Since they’re metallic, stainless steel crowns will be visible—especially on front teeth. However, they’re most commonly used on back molars, where appearance is less of a concern and durability is most important. For front teeth, we may recommend alternative options with a more natural appearance.
