Children from Kanab and across Southern Utah appreciate our calm, friendly approach. We explain each step at your child’s level so they feel safe and confident.
We begin by checking your child’s teeth, gums, and bite. Digital X-rays help us see the extent of decay or damage and confirm whether a crown is the best solution.
Your child’s comfort is always our priority. We carefully numb the area and use gentle techniques to keep your child relaxed. For especially nervous or young patients, we can discuss additional behavior management or sedation options if needed.
We remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and shape it slightly so the crown can fit snugly over it. This step helps ensure a secure, long-lasting fit.
The pre-formed crown is carefully fitted over the prepared tooth, checked for proper bite and comfort, and then permanently cemented in place.
We make any final adjustments so your child’s bite feels natural and the crown is smooth and comfortable.
