Whether your child has a damaged tooth or has lost one too early, Rio Dental & Orthodontics offers reliable, kid-friendly solutions through custom-made dental crowns and bridges. Our goal is to restore comfort, function, and appearance, so your child can chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
If your child has a weakened, cracked, or missing tooth, we recommend seeking care promptly. Reach out to schedule a consultation today and find out if a tooth crown or dental bridge is the right solution.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cover that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, a tooth crown is sometimes necessary to protect your child’s oral development. Losing a baby tooth too early or leaving it untreated can cause lasting problems with alignment and spacing.
Dentists can make dental crowns from several materials, including tooth-colored options that blend naturally with your child’s smile.
Dental Crowns Can:
- Strengthen and protect a damaged or decayed tooth
- Restore a tooth’s shape, size, and function
- Prevent further cracking or wear
- Support a tooth with a large filling
- Serve as anchors for a dental bridge
If your child has a painful or weakened tooth, contact us today to learn more about restoring it with a custom dental crown.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
Dentists use a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the space left behind by a missing tooth with the help of two tooth crowns that hold the replacement tooth (or teeth) in place.
Losing a tooth early can interfere with eating, speech development, and the proper alignment of incoming adult teeth. A tooth bridge helps maintain balance in the mouth and prevents future complications.
Dental Bridges Can:
- Restore your child’s smile after tooth loss
- Improve their ability to chew and speak
- Keep permanent teeth from shifting into the wrong place
- Maintain even pressure across the bite
Do you believe your child may benefit from a tooth bridge? Schedule a consultation to discuss whether this restorative option is right for them.
Why Restoring Baby Teeth Matters
It’s a common misconception that baby teeth don’t need to be repaired or replaced. In reality, premature tooth loss can affect jaw development, bite alignment, and how adult teeth grow in. That’s why dental crowns and bridges play such an important role in pediatric dental care.
At Rio Dental & Orthodontics, we take extra care to make restorative procedures smooth, comfortable, and stress-free for both kids and parents. Our team will walk you through every step and answer any questions you have about your child’s treatment plan.
