This depends on the type of crown you get for your child. Stainless steel crowns typically have a lifespan of up to 10 years with proper care, so they're a good option for replacing missing primary teeth.Sprig white dental crowns have a longer lifespan than stainless steel crowns. White crowns can last up to 20 years with proper care, making ceramic crowns a more durable, long-lasting option compared to stainless steel crowns.However, the lifespan of dental crowns is usually not that important when they're placed on baby teeth. This is because your child’s baby teeth will fall out naturally as their permanent adult teeth erupt. Your child will get their first adult teeth around the age of six, and their final set of adult molars will come out between the ages of 12-13.As long as your child’s pediatric dental crown can last until their adult tooth comes in, their baby tooth will get adequate protection. Still, if you want to make sure you choose the most durable and long-lasting material for your child’s baby tooth, we recommend choosing a tooth-colored Sprig white pediatric crown.

Yes. If they are medically necessary, pediatric dental crowns are typically covered by dental insurance policies up to applicable limits. However, some dental insurance policies may have different coverage for stainless steel pediatric crowns and white crowns, such as Sprig crowns.If you’re not sure about what pediatric dentistry procedures your dental insurance policy will cover, it’s best to consult directly with your insurance company or your policy documentation. Covered procedures, deductibles, and yearly maximums will be different for every policy.

Dental crowns require no special aftercare or downtime. However, there are a few things you should be on the lookout for after your child’s procedure.• Some Tenderness & Sensitivity is NormalYour child’s tooth may ache and feel a little sensitive after their treatment. This is to be expected, and should subside within 1-2 weeks. A little bleeding or oozing is normal after an extraction or crown as well, and should subside within 24 hours.• Tooth Pain Is Not NormalSerious pain and discomfort that comes out of nowhere or keeps your child up at night is not normal and could indicate that further treatment is needed. If your child complains of serious pain after their treatment, come back to Kids Tooth team for a follow-up with their doctor.
