Stainless Steel Crowns

In some cases, where there is extensive decay, the tooth may require a crown. A crown holds together the parts of the tooth left and helps avoid tooth fracture.

Stainless steel crowns: Also known as "silver crowns," stainless steel crowns are the shiny silver crowns that you may see some kids have. They are prefabricated and fitted to your child's tooth. They are also very strong and durable and do not contain any mercury.
