The Pediatric Stainless Steel Crowns Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first step in the process involves a thorough examination of your child's teeth by Dr. Rachel Forer. During this consultation, she will assess the extent of decay or damage and determine if a stainless steel crown is the best solution. This is also an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions and discuss any concerns you might have about the procedure.
Crown Preparation
Once the decision is made to proceed with a stainless steel crown, the next step is to prepare the tooth. This involves cleaning the tooth thoroughly and removing any decay. Dr. Forer will then shape the tooth to ensure a perfect fit for the crown. This step is crucial for ensuring that the crown fits snugly and functions properly.
Crown Placement
Finally, the stainless steel crown is carefully placed over the prepared tooth. Dr. Forer will ensure that the crown is securely fitted and that your child’s bite is comfortable. The crown is then polished to ensure a smooth finish. This step is completed with precision to ensure that the crown looks natural and blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
