Stainless & Zirconia Crowns

Stainless Steel Crowns

1. Material:
Composition: Made from stainless steel, a durable and corrosion-resistant metal alloy.
Appearance: They have a metallic, silver color.
2. Usage:

Pediatric Dentistry: Commonly used for children’s primary (baby) teeth. They are typically placed on teeth that are severely decayed or have had a pulpotomy (a type of root canal).
Temporary Crowns: In adults, stainless steel crowns are sometimes used as a temporary solution while a permanent crown is being made.
3. Benefits:

Durability: Very strong and resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for children’s teeth, which are not permanent.
Cost-Effective: Less expensive compared to other types of crowns.
Fast Application: Can be placed in a single visit, as they are pre-fabricated in various sizes.
