Stainless Steel Crowns (Pre-Formed Metal Crowns)
Stainless steel crowns are strong, silver caps used to protect and restore baby teeth that are decayed or broken. They are pre-formed metal crowns designed to fit over a child’s tooth and are commonly used in paediatric dentistry due to their durability and effectiveness.
These crowns help maintain the tooth’s function and space for the adult tooth until it’s ready to come through.
Watch the video below to learn more about how stainless-steel crowns are placed and what to expect during and after treatment.
An information leaflet is available to download, providing further guidance for parents and carers.
A social story is also provided to help prepare children for their appointment in a simple, visual, and reassuring way.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your dental team.
