Stainless Steel Crowns (SSCs) - For Molars

At Chompers Pediatric Dentistry, we use stainless steel crowns to restore back teeth that are too severely decayed to support white fillings. When tooth decay in molars is left untreated, it can cause extensive damage to the enamel, dentin, and sometimes even the nerve (pulp). In such situations, tooth-colored fillings are not a viable option, and stainless steel crowns become necessary.

These prefabricated, silver-colored crowns are specifically designed to fit over primary (baby) teeth. Once properly fitted, they are cemented onto the damaged teeth to prevent further decay and damage. Stainless steel crowns are durable and effective in protecting the affected teeth until they naturally fall out. This ensures that your child's back teeth remain functional and healthy despite significant decay.

Stainless steel crowns offer several advantages, including their strength and durability. They are capable of withstanding the chewing forces in the back of the mouth and provide long-lasting protection for your child's teeth. Additionally, these crowns are cost-effective and can be placed in a single visit, making them a convenient option for busy families.

One of the main benefits of stainless steel crowns is their ability to preserve the primary teeth until they naturally fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth. This is crucial for maintaining proper spacing and alignment in the jaw, which can impact the development of permanent teeth. By using stainless steel crowns, we help ensure that your child's dental health is maintained and that potential complications from untreated dental issues are avoided.

At Chompers, our priority is to provide the best possible care for your child's dental health. Stainless steel crowns are a reliable solution for preserving badly decayed molars and ensuring that your child's smile stays strong and healthy. We understand that dental visits can be stressful for children, and our team is dedicated to making the experience as comfortable and positive as possible.

In addition to their functional benefits, stainless steel crowns are also easy to care for. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, will help maintain the health and integrity of the crowns. Our team at Chompers will provide you with all the necessary information and support to ensure that your child's stainless steel crowns remain in excellent condition.
