At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, we offer durable, natural-looking dental crowns to restore your child’s smile with comfort and confidence. Whether their tooth has been affected by decay or injury, our team of Sprig-certified pediatric dentists will recommend the right crown option to fit their needs—and their personality!
A dental crown is one of the most effective ways to restore a baby tooth that’s been weakened by decay or injury. Unlike fillings, crowns protect the entire tooth surface—helping your child bite, chew, and speak with ease. Crowns are also less invasive than traditional fillings, as they allow us to preserve more of your child’s natural tooth structure.
Our expert team in Buda uses crowns to strengthen teeth, ease discomfort, and reduce the risk of future problems. With a 95% success rate, crowns are a reliable solution that helps maintain oral health until adult teeth are ready to come in. Whether your child needs a crown for a front or back tooth, we’ll help you choose the right material and make the process simple and stress-free.
Dr. Alex is a Sprig Certified provider, a distinction that’s not only earned through clinical excellence—but also allows her to serve as a national speaker and educator. As clinical faculty for Sprig white crowns, Dr. Alex teaches dentists across the country how to provide these beautiful, biocompatible restorations for kids. If you’re looking for natural-looking crowns that blend seamlessly into your child’s smile, you’re in great hands at Kids Tooth Team Buda.
Dental crowns offer durable protection and can help preserve your child’s natural tooth in many different situations. At Kids Tooth Team Buda, we recommend crowns when a tooth needs extra strength, support, or coverage due to one of the following reasons:
When your child receives a pulpotomy or pulpectomy to treat an infected or painful tooth, we’ll place a crown to seal the tooth and protect it from further damage. This final step helps ensure the tooth stays strong and pain-free until it’s ready to fall out naturally.
If decay has spread deep into the tooth, a simple filling may not be enough to protect it. In these cases, a crown provides a much stronger, longer-lasting solution that won’t compromise the integrity of the tooth.
Whether from an accidental fall, sports injury, or another type of trauma, broken baby teeth can often be saved. A crown acts like a helmet, fully covering the damaged area and restoring your child’s ability to bite and chew comfortably.

Looking for a natural-looking way to repair your child’s smile? Sprig white crowns are an exceptional option for restoring baby teeth with strength, safety, and beauty. At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, we proudly offer these cutting-edge, all-ceramic crowns as an alternative to traditional stainless steel options.

Sprig crowns are made from zirconia, a high-performance ceramic that’s even stronger than stainless steel. These crowns hold up beautifully to chewing forces and everyday wear, making them a reliable choice for both front and back baby teeth.
Because they’re completely metal-free, Sprig white crowns are a great solution for children with sensitivities or allergies to metals. They’re crafted from biocompatible materials that are safe, gentle, and ideal for growing smiles.
Unlike silver crowns that can stand out in your child’s smile, Sprig crowns blend right in. With their smooth, pearly finish and a range of shade options, these crowns are designed to look and feel just like natural enamel—so your child can smile with confidence.
Sprig crowns don’t just look good—they help prevent future problems, too. Their snug fit and unique retention grooves create a strong seal around the tooth, helping block out plaque and bacteria and reducing the risk of future decay.
Dr. Alex is certified by Sprig, which means your child is being treated by one of the few dentists trained and trusted to expertly place these advanced crowns. We’re proud to offer this high-quality, minimally invasive solution to families throughout Buda and beyond.
Every child’s smile is different, so we provide a variety of crown options to match your child’s needs, lifestyle, and comfort—while keeping things as gentle and stress-free as possible.
We’re proud to offer Sprig’s all-white zirconia crowns—one of the most natural-looking, metal-free options available in pediatric dentistry today. Made from a smooth, ceramic material that mimics real enamel, Sprig crowns are ideal for restoring both front and back baby teeth. Whether your little one has a large cavity or has undergone nerve treatment, Sprig crowns offer a beautiful, strong, and biocompatible solution that blends seamlessly into their smile. And since our team are certified Sprig providers, you can trust your child is in expert hands at our Buda office.
Tried and true, stainless steel crowns are a popular choice for restoring baby teeth—especially molars. They’re tough, budget-friendly, and easy to place in just one visit. These prefabricated crowns are durable enough to protect your child’s tooth until it naturally falls out, making them a reliable choice for many families.
For certain cases, we can use the Hall Technique—a minimally invasive approach that skips the shots and drilling. Instead, we gently clean the tooth and cement a stainless steel crown over it, sealing out decay. It’s a great option for kids who are nervous about dental work or for teeth that can be treated without traditional methods. We’ll let you know if your child is a good candidate!

We begin by carefully cleaning your child’s mouth and gently numbing the treatment area to make the visit as comfortable as possible. In some cases—like when using the Hall Technique—no numbing or drilling is needed at all!
If needed, we’ll remove any decay and shape the tooth so the crown fits securely and snugly. This step helps create the best foundation for a strong, long-lasting restoration.
Once the tooth is ready, we select the perfect prefabricated crown for your child’s smile. Whether we’re placing a white zirconia crown or stainless steel option, each crown is bonded with safe, strong dental cement—restoring your child’s smile while protecting the tooth for years to come.

At Kids Tooth Team in Buda, your child is in expert hands. Dr. Alex isn’t just a fully certified provider of Sprig white dental crowns—she’s also a Sprig faculty member and national speaker. That means she teaches other dentists across the country how to properly place these advanced, tooth-colored crowns. With her level of experience, you can trust that your child will receive the highest level of care, with crowns placed precisely and gently for the best fit and long-term protection.
That depends on the type of crown and your child’s oral habits. Stainless steel crowns can last up to 10 years, while Sprig white crowns (made from durable zirconia) may last up to 20 years. For most children, however, crowns only need to last until their adult teeth erupt—usually between ages 6 and 12. As long as the crown protects the baby tooth until it naturally falls out, it’s doing its job. If you’re looking for the strongest, most lifelike crown option, Sprig white crowns are our top recommendation.
Yes—most insurance plans cover pediatric crowns when deemed medically necessary. Keep in mind that coverage may differ depending on the type of crown. Stainless steel crowns are often fully covered, while tooth-colored Sprig crowns may have partial coverage or require an additional fee. Not sure what your plan covers? Our friendly team is happy to help you review your benefits and estimate your out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
Pediatric crowns don’t require special maintenance beyond good brushing and flossing habits. But here’s what to expect right after placement:
