Baby Crowns That Support Childhood Development
Baby crowns serve as protective caps that fully cover damaged or decayed primary teeth. Unlike fillings, which only repair a portion of the tooth, crowns provide complete coverage and protection. Baby crowns are crucial for maintaining proper spacing for permanent teeth and supporting your child’s ability to eat and speak during their developmental years.
Tooth-colored baby crowns offer a highly esthetic alternative to traditional stainless steel crowns by closely mimicking the appearance of natural teeth. At COCO Kids Dental, we offer a range of advanced white crowns, including zirconia (porcelain) crowns, pre-veneered crowns, and composite crowns. Treatment recommendations are based on the condition of the tooth as well as both the patient’s and parents’ esthetic preferences, to provide a personalized approach to care. The white crowns blend almost seamlessly with surrounding teeth, allowing children to maintain confident, natural-looking smiles without visible metal, making them ideal for restoring front teeth and other socially prominent areas.
Long-lasting Protection for Growing Smiles
Baby crowns help support dental health by protecting primary teeth until permanent teeth come in. Each restoration is planned with attention to your child’s growth and development, helping to maintain space and function. We fit each crown carefully to promote stability and support healthy oral development.
- Custom-sized for individual tooth needs
- Growth-adaptive designs
- Regular monitoring of fit and function
- Preventive care education
- Routine maintenance guidance
Your child’s smile benefits from thoughtful care during these important developmental years. At COCO Kids Dental, we offer a supportive and caring environment focused on encouraging healthy growth while helping young patients feel at ease.
Modern Solutions for Little Teeth
Primary teeth serve multiple purposes in your child’s development, which is why protecting them matters. When decay or damage occurs, we recommend durable crowns that withstand daily activities while keeping your child comfortable. At COCO Kids Dental, we select materials specifically designed for growing smiles.
- White ceramic options that blend naturally
- Stainless steel crowns for maximum durability
- Pre-veneered crowns that combine the esthetics of porcelain with the strength of stainless steel

Dental Fillings For Beautiful Young Smiles

Braces That Shape Confident Futures
At COCO Kids Dental, we provide braces for children, teens and adults, offering orthodontic care that adapts to each stage of life.

For teens and adults, braces are an effective way to improve alignment, function, and overall oral health. We take time to understand each patient’s goals and recommend options that fit their needs and lifestyle. With thoughtful planning and modern techniques, our team is committed to making the journey to a straighter smile comfortable and well-supported.
Smart Solutions For Growing Patients
Every smile is unique, so we carefully tailor each treatment plan to your child’s individual needs.

Understanding Baby Root Canals For Primary Teeth
Baby root canal, also known as pulpotomy or pulpectomy, is a restorative treatment used when the soft tissue inside the tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected. Instead of removing the tooth, the affected pulp is gently treated and the tooth is restored with a protective crown. This allows your child to continue eating, speaking, and smiling confidently while maintaining the natural spacing for future adult teeth.
Why Saving Primary Teeth Matters
Protecting baby teeth until they’re ready to fall out naturally supports proper dental and jaw development. Saving the baby tooth allows it to continue supporting normal speech, chewing, and jaw development. It also holds the space for the permanent tooth to come in correctly.
- Preservation of natural tooth structure
- Prevention of premature tooth loss
- Protection of surrounding healthy teeth
- Support for proper jaw development
- Maintenance of proper spacing
- Support speech development
Breaking Down Common Treatment Concerns
Parents often have questions about baby root canal procedures, and we’re here to provide clear answers. Our experienced team takes time to explain each step of the treatment process, so you can feel confident in your child’s care. We combine advanced techniques with a gentle touch to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

At COCO Kids Dental, we focus on preserving baby teeth through conservative treatments that support your child’s oral health and development. Our goal is to create a reassuring experience while helping maintain their natural smile.

A Gentle Sedation Option for Kids and Teens
At COCO Kids Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can sometimes be intimidating, especially for younger patients. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide, a safe and widely used sedation option that helps reduce anxiety and promote relaxation during dental treatments.
Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is inhaled through a soft nose mask and begins working within minutes. It produces a light, calming sensation that helps children feel more at ease, while still keeping them awake and responsive throughout the procedure.
Benefits of Nitrous Oxide
- Reduces dental anxiety in nervous patients
- Promotes relaxation while allowing children to remain awake and cooperative
- Fast onset and recovery: most patients feel back to normal within minutes after treatment
- Mild and adjustable, making it one of the safest forms of sedation in pediatric dentistry
Your child’s safety remains our highest priority during your every dental visit at COCO Kids Dental. At COCO Kids Dental, we follow strict clinical protocols and carefully review your child’s medical history before recommending sedation options.
How It Works
Our team will gently place a small mask over your child’s nose and ask them to breathe in normally. Within a few minutes, they may feel calm, warm, or even a little giggly. The effects wear off shortly after the mask is removed, and children can usually return to school or normal activities the same day. We closely monitor your child the entire time, adjusting the level of sedation as needed to maintain comfort and safety.
