Every child deserves a healthy, confident smile that lets their personality shine through. When your little one needs a dental crown, you’re not just addressing a dental issue; you’re investing in their comfort, oral health, and self-confidence for years to come. At All Star Kidz Pediatrics, we believe that getting a crown should be an empowering experience that shows children how we can protect and strengthen their precious smiles, not something to fear.

We understand that every child is different, and we take the time to build trust and create positive dental experiences that last a lifetime.
When Does Your Child Need a Pediatric Dental Crown?
Sometimes baby teeth need extra protection to stay healthy until they naturally fall out. Pediatric dental crowns serve as protective caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, allowing your child to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. Unlike adult crowns, pediatric crowns are specifically designed for the unique needs of growing children.
Crowns are often used to strengthen teeth with large cavities when there isn’t enough healthy tooth structure to safely hold a filling. They can also be used to protect weakened or broken teeth. At our Las Vegas practice, we most commonly recommend crowns for baby teeth that have extensive decay, large cavities that compromise the tooth’s structure, or teeth that have been damaged due to trauma or injury.
Dr. Lamb takes a thoughtful approach when determining if your child needs a crown. During your consultation, he’ll carefully examine your child’s tooth and explain why a crown might be the best option for safeguarding their oral health. We believe in educating parents so you can feel confident about treatment decisions for your little one.
Our Approach to Pediatric Crown Placement
At All Star Kidz Pediatrics, we are committed to making every child feel comfortable, safe, and valued throughout their dental treatment experience.
Creating a Comfortable Environment
Every child who visits our practice receives individualized care tailored to their personality and comfort level. Dr. Lamb has years of experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs who may require extra patience and understanding. We take pride in creating a fun, encouraging atmosphere where children actually look forward to their dental visits.
Before beginning any procedure, we take time to explain what will happen using age-appropriate language. Many children feel anxious about the unknown, so we show them our instruments and let them ask questions. This approach helps build trust and reduces anxiety, making the entire experience more positive for everyone involved.
Advanced Sedation Options for Your Child's Comfort
As specialists in pediatric sedation dentistry, we offer multiple comfort options to ensure your child has a pleasant experience during crown placement. Dr. Lamb’s extensive training and experience with sedation techniques allow us to customize our methods based on your child’s age, temperament, and the extent of treatment needed.
For some children, mild sedation helps them relax while remaining conscious and responsive throughout the procedure. Others may benefit from deeper sedation, especially if they need extensive work or have significant dental anxiety. We’ll discuss all options with you and help determine the best approach for your child’s specific situation.
Our office is fully credentialed for various levels of sedation, and we work with experienced dental anesthesiologists when general anesthesia is recommended. Safety is always our top priority, and Dr. Lamb’s expertise in pediatric sedation gives parents peace of mind knowing their child is in capable hands.
Types of Crowns We Offer
We offer several crown options to meet your child’s specific needs and your family’s preferences, balancing both function and appearance.
Stainless Steel Crowns
Stainless steel crowns are the most commonly used type for baby teeth. These pre-formed crowns are durable, cost-effective, and provide excellent protection for damaged teeth. While they have a silver appearance, they’re incredibly strong and can withstand the forces of chewing until the baby tooth naturally falls out.
Tooth-Colored Crowns
For front teeth or when esthetics are a primary concern, we offer tooth-colored crowns that blend naturally with your child’s smile. These crowns provide the same protection as stainless steel crowns while maintaining a natural appearance that won’t make your child feel self-conscious about their smile.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns offer the strength of stainless steel with the natural appearance of tooth-colored materials. These advanced crowns are an excellent option for children who need maximum durability without compromising esthetics.
What to Expect During Your Visit
The crown placement process typically takes place over one appointment, though complex cases may require additional visits. Here’s what you can expect when you bring your child to our Las Vegas office:
- Comprehensive examination and treatment planning
- Discussion of sedation options if needed
- Gentle tooth preparation using child-friendly techniques
- Precise crown placement and bite adjustment
- Post-treatment care instructions and follow-up scheduling
Dr. Lamb takes his time with each patient, never rushing through procedures. We understand that children process experiences differently from adults, and we adjust our approach accordingly. Our team is trained to recognize signs of discomfort or anxiety and respond with additional comfort measures as needed.
