Zirconia CrownsIn Dunwoody
At Dunwoody Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child deserves a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime. That’s why Dr. Luke Robert, our board-certified pediatric dentist, offers zirconia crowns as a strong, natural-looking restorative solution for children with damaged or decayed baby teeth.
Unlike traditional stainless steel crowns, zirconia crowns are made from a durable, tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, preserving both function and aesthetics. These crowns are safe for children, biocompatible, and ideal for parents seeking a conservative yet effective treatment that doesn’t compromise appearance or comfort.
Zirconia crowns are particularly beneficial for front teeth or visible areas of the mouth, especially when a bright, white finish is desired. Whether your little one has experienced early childhood decay or has a fractured tooth, Dr. Robert designs each treatment plan with gentle care and personalized attention based on your child’s unique needs.
Why Should I Get Zirconia Crowns?
Zirconia crowns are a trusted option for pediatric dental restoration because they offer exceptional durability, aesthetics, and safety. Parents often choose zirconia crowns for their children when cosmetic appearance is important, particularly for anterior teeth.
Unlike silver-colored crowns, zirconia crowns look just like natural teeth, helping kids smile with confidence at school, during photos, or in social settings. They're also highly resistant to chipping, staining, and plaque accumulation, which supports healthier gums and oral tissues.
Dr. Luke Robert prioritizes treatments that are both conservative and transparent. He walks parents through every recommendation, ensuring each treatment is in the best interest of your child’s health and comfort.
With his extensive training and child-focused approach, even anxious little ones feel relaxed and safe throughout the process. At our kid-friendly office in Dunwoody, GA, safety and comfort are just as important as clinical excellence, making zirconia crowns an easy, worry-free choice for families who want the best for their child’s smile.
The Benefits Of Zirconia Crowns
Natural Appearance
Zirconia crowns are tooth-colored and blend in beautifully with natural enamel, making them perfect for visible front teeth. Your child's smile stays bright and confident, with no metallic shine.
Durable & Long-Lasting
These crowns are incredibly strong and resistant to fractures, designed to withstand the wear and tear of growing mouths without needing replacement prematurely.
Biocompatible & Safe
Zirconia is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and gentle on gums. It supports overall oral health and minimizes the risk of adverse reactions, ideal for children with sensitivities.
The Zirconia Crowns Treatment Process
Gentle Evaluation & Planning
Every child’s journey begins with a gentle but thorough evaluation from Dr. Luke Robert. Using kid-friendly language and a calm approach, he explains what’s happening and examines the affected tooth. If a zirconia crown is the best option, he walks parents step-by-step through the proposed plan, making sure you're completely comfortable and informed before moving forward.
Tooth Preparation
After the tooth and surrounding area are numbed to ensure a pain-free experience, Dr. Robert will carefully remove any decay and shape the remaining tooth to fit the zirconia crown securely. Thanks to zirconia’s precision fit and durability, minimal modification is needed, aligning with our conservative philosophy. We also use behavior-guided techniques to reduce stress and keep your child calm and relaxed throughout the visit.
Placement of Zirconia Crown
Once the crown is expertly sized and polished, Dr. Robert bonds it in place to restore both function and beauty immediately. The final result is a smooth, natural-looking crown that feels comfortable and strengthens your child’s bite. At the end of the appointment, parents receive guidance on caring for the crown and tips to encourage long-term oral health at home, reinforcing our commitment to education and preventive care.
