Compared to stainless steel, zirconia is actually stronger! Sprig dental crowns use a ceramic white material that’s more resistant to the pressure and forces of biting and chewing. This means that there’s less of a risk of damage or premature crown failure if you opt for Sprig white crowns from Dr. Alex at Kids Tooth Team.

Our white crowns are made of 100% biocompatible ceramic material. This means that it’s suitable for kids who may be sensitive or even allergic to metals. With a Sprig dental crown, you can be sure that your child won’t have to worry about negative reactions to a metal dental prosthetic in their mouth.

The primary drawback of stainless steel pediatric dental crowns is their unnatural appearance. Simply put, it will be obvious that your child has a silvery-gray metal tooth. But Sprig white crowns are made of a tooth-colored ceramic material. They're even available in lots of different shades, which ensures that they will match your child’s existing teeth perfectly. With a Sprig crown in South Austin, your child’s tooth will look and feel completely natural.

Kids are not always the most diligent about brushing and flossing properly. That’s why Sprig white crowns are naturally resistant to the accumulation of bacteria-filled plaque. They also use special internal “retention grooves” that help ensure a tight seal around your child’s tooth, preventing further decay around the treated tooth. While you should make sure your child is brushing and flossing properly, Sprig crowns from Kids Tooth Team help give you a little extra protection from tooth decay.

To offer these white crowns, dentists must be properly trained in their placement by Sprig. This ensures that a dentist has the necessary knowledge to place crowns properly and get the best possible treatment outcome for your little one. At our office, our doctors are Sprig-certified in South Austin, so you can trust us to take great care of your little one’s teeth.
