A Natural Solution for Your Child’s Smile
Strip crowns are sought form of dental treatment that is regularly used in pediatric dentistry to reconstruct and repair damage, especially those located in the front of the mouth. They are made of clear plastic or resin material that is filled with composite resin. After the composite sets in the strip crown, the plastic shell is removed to reveal a smooth and visually appealing crown.
Strip crowns are frequently utilized due to their ability to seamlessly match natural teeth and serve as a viable option for children requiring long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing dental treatments.

The Process
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning for Child's Teeth
Cavities or any other tooth damage that the child may have are checked and the extent of the problem may require an X-ray. This aids the dentist to prepare on the best way to handle the particular case.
Crown Selection
A clear plastic crown form of the appropriate size and shape of the tooth is selected.
Placement
The crown is placed over the prepared tooth for a snug fit. The dentist presses it into position, so the resin can mold around the tooth securely.
Total Crown Preparation
A local anesthetic solution is applied to avoid sensation on the tooth region that is to be worked on.
Filling the Crown
The crown is filled with tooth-colored resin. This resin is evenly placed inside to ensure proper shape and coverage of the tooth.
