Does your child have crowns to repair bottle mouth tooth decay or nursing bottle syndrome? How do they look?

My 3 year old has to have over $4000 worth of dental work next week. She will have all 8 of her front teeth capped with prefab stainless steel crowns with resin windows. I wanted to know how these caps look when they are in place. They are white (tooth colored) on the front and silver on the back. Is the silver visible? Can you provide any photos to me?

Hi there.


I was a pediatric dental assistant for years.....used to do these procedures for little ones everyday.


You may see the silver depending on your child's arch. If the child is a thumb sucker or a tongue thruster the gate of the jaws is more open and the silver will be more visible. However, it's not so noticeable that your lil one will be ghastly to look at.


I am assuming a pediatric dentist is performing the work for you at the hospital under anesthesia? The dentist I worked for would take even more time with the lil ones when we had them in a surgical op at the hospital. This way he would make sure that the lil ones had the perfect smile.


Rest assured you are doing the best thing for your child and your pediatric dentist will provide the best care!


Good luck and take care!
Reply:okay dont laugh this is kinda personal but whatever well i had the same problem except my mom was 20 so she was young and tried to take care of me ... well i had my front teeth like that ... practicaly half my mouth (i guess you could say i had grillz) well i turned out fine my teeth are great... of course your daughters teeth will fall out so dont worry about embarissment and at least they wont be wrecked in the future





GOOD LUCK!! JASMIN
Reply:my son has them i thought that u wouldnt be able to see any metal he had it for bottle mouth tooth decay but the light reflects off the back and makes an illusion that its coming off the front of his teeth so no joke he looks like a gangster i woul regret it any day if i could
Reply:My son had the same thing but he got caps his entire mouth was pretty much silver. It didnt look bad. Im sure the silver will be visible if she opens her mouth to wide. But who cares she's 3.
