At Dentistry @ Cornwall in Cornwall, we offer stainless steel crown (SSC) treatment as a durable and effective solution for various dental needs, especially in pediatric dentistry. SSCs are an excellent choice for specific situations in primary teeth, providing long-lasting protection and restoration.
Stainless steel crowns have clear indications for use in primary teeth, including:
Additionally, SSCs are beneficial in cases where caries risk factors are high, particularly in young children with anterior tooth decay or molar caries. These crowns help protect vulnerable tooth surfaces from further decay.
Choosing SSC treatment offers several advantages:
Children with extensive decay, large lesions, or multiple surface lesions in primary molars should strongly consider stainless steel crowns. The full coverage and long-term protection they offer make them a valuable choice, especially for children who may require general anesthesia for treatment.
