Pedo Crowns at Shen Dental in Vancouver
Pedo crowns are pre-made stainless steel crowns designed to restore and protect primary (baby) teeth with extensive decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling. These crowns are durable and provide long-term protection until the baby tooth naturally falls out.
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Assessment and Preparation:
- Dr. Fisher will evaluate the decayed or damaged tooth and determine if a pedo crown is the best option.
- The tooth will be cleaned and shaped to fit the crown.
- Crown Placement:
- The pre-made stainless steel crown is adjusted and securely placed over the tooth during the same visit.
- No lab work is needed, making the process efficient and straightforward.
- Post-Treatment Care:
- Dr. Fisher will provide tips on maintaining oral hygiene and protecting the crown. The crown will naturally fall out with the baby tooth when it’s time.
Pedo Crowns FAQs
