At Little Bee’s Pediatric Dentistry, we offer white dental crowns (also called zirconia crowns) as a strong and esthetic solution for restoring your child’s smile. These crowns are made from tooth-colored zirconia, a biocompatible material that blends beautifully with natural teeth while offering long-lasting durability.
Whether your child has a large cavity or a damaged tooth, white crowns provide the strength of a traditional crown with a natural, stain-resistant finish—perfect for front or back teeth. Unlike stainless steel crowns, zirconia crowns reflect light just like real enamel and are a great option for families who want both function and a beautiful, confident smile.
Zirconia crowns are tooth-colored and crafted to mimic the appearance of natural enamel—so your child can smile with confidence.
These crowns are incredibly strong and resistant to chips or fractures, making them ideal for kids who are always on the move.
Zirconia is biocompatible and metal-free. Its smooth surface reduces plaque buildup and keeps little mouths feeling comfortable.
As Lebanon County’s only pediatric dental home, our board-certified team has specialized training in placing white crowns comfortably and effectively—tailored to tiny teeth.
We use zirconia crowns not just for their beauty, but because they allow us to restore decayed or damaged teeth in a way that supports both your child’s oral health and self-esteem.
Every child deserves to feel safe and celebrated. Whether your child has dental anxiety, sensory needs, or a strong aesthetic preference, we’ll adjust our approach to match their comfort and goals.
Here's what you can expect.
If your child has a tooth with extensive decay or damage that a filling can’t fix, a white crown may be recommended to protect the tooth and prevent future issues.
We’ll walk you through all the options and explain why a zirconia crown may be the best choice. You’re part of every decision—we value your voice.
We’ll numb the area and gently remove any damaged parts of the tooth, preparing it to fit the crown. We take extra care to ensure your child feels relaxed and safe.
The white crown is fitted over the prepared tooth and cemented into place. It immediately restores function and blends right in with their smile—no metal in sight!
Yes! Zirconia crowns are biocompatible, BPA-free, and metal-free. They’re a safe and reliable option for restoring primary teeth and are especially great for children with metal sensitivities or allergies.
Absolutely. Zirconia crowns are extremely durable and can withstand the chewing forces of even the busiest little bees. With proper care, they typically last until the baby tooth naturally falls out.
It depends on your child’s age, comfort level, and dental needs. We offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) to help kids feel relaxed, and we always tailor our approach to what’s best for your child’s experience.
