Stainless Crowns

Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are preformed metal crowns placed over heavily decayed or structurally compromised baby teeth. They are the most durable and cost-effective restoration for primary molars and are placed in a single appointment.

Unlike tooth-coloured restorations, stainless steel crowns cover the entire tooth, providing comprehensive protection against further decay and fracture. They remain in place until the baby tooth naturally falls out.

Tooth-coloured zirconia crown options are available for front teeth where aesthetics are a priority, offering an alternative to stainless steel for visible primary teeth.
