Children's Ceramic Crowns in Scottsdale, AZ
Our team at Tatum Pediatric Dentistry, we want every child’s smile to be as healthy and beautiful as possible. Sometimes, a tooth might need a little extra help to stay strong, and that’s where EZCrowns come in! These cozy, tooth-shaped protectors are like superhero shields for teeth, giving them the extra layer of protection they need to keep smiling bright.
What Are Ceramic Crowns?
Think of a ceramic crown like a “helmet” for a tooth. It fits perfectly over the tooth to protect it from damage or decay. We use ceramic crowns because they are strong, durable, and look just like a natural tooth—so they are perfect for ensuring your child’s smile stays shiny and healthy.
Dr. Guymon uses EZCrowns by Sprig, which are the first crowns made just for kids’ baby teeth. They’re made from a special material called "zirconia"—a mix of ceramic and metal—that’s both strong and attractive. EZCrowns feel and look completely natural, and they're biocompatible. This means that your body recognizes the crown as a natural part of it, so the crown won’t irritate your child’s mouth and gums.
Why Do Kids Need Ceramic Crowns?
Sometimes, kids get cavities or cracks in their teeth that can be tough to fix with fillings alone. If the tooth becomes really weak or the decay is too big for a simple filling, we use ceramic crowns to give it the extra strength it needs. A crown covers the entire tooth and helps it stay strong and protected while still looking amazing.

How Are Ceramic Crowns Placed?
You might be wondering, “How do we put the crown on?” Getting a ceramic crown is a simple and fast procedure. First, our expert team will ensure your child is nice and relaxed (we use gentle sedation options, too!) before prepping the tooth. Then, we carefully take an impression of the tooth, so the crown fits just right. After that, we will place the crown over the tooth, and it’s ready to protect that tooth for years to come.
