What Are Kinder Krowns®?

If your child suffers from extensive cavities where the cavity has reached deep into the tooth, then a dental filling will not be enough to protect the tooth. This is when a dental crown becomes necessary. In the past, the stainless steel or silver crown has been the most popular option. But these silver-colored crowns are highly visible, which can cause a child to be very self-conscious of their smile when they are placed on the anterior (front) teeth. To help keep children smiling confidently, our pediatric dentists in the Woodlands offer Kinder Krowns®, which are tooth-colored, for the visible front teeth, and stainless steel crowns for the less visible posterior (back) teeth.
