Crowns
In some instances, Dr. Gibson might suggest the placement of a crown, also known as a cap, on your child’s tooth. We typically recommend doing so when a tooth’s natural structure has been so substantially damaged by a cavity that a filling of any kind would be unlikely to remain in place.
Other conditions in which a crown is a good option include a tooth with a nerve infection caused by a cavity or one with decay affecting multiple sides of the tooth instead of just one discrete area.
Children who are at higher risk than normal of developing tooth decay for any reason can benefit from crown placement as well; in pediatric dentistry, crowns are the strongest, most predictable and generally reliable type of tooth restoration.
We offer a variety of kid-appropriate crowns for baby teeth, both stainless steel and white/zirconia. The white/zirconia crowns we use are made by a company called EZPEDO; they’re elegant, strong and an excellent choice to restore tiny teeth to a fully natural appearance.
Are you ready to take charge of your child’s oral health?
“Took my daughter to this office. Dr. Gibson is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely skilled and has an incredible bedside manner. Her office is beautiful and kid friendly. In fact, it’s probably the nicest doctor’s office I’ve ever been to.”

The entire staff, Dr. Gibson, the office, everything! Dr. Gibson relates to you and the kiddo, explains everything, and isn’t rushed. The hygienists are so sweet and so patient, same with the front desk ladies. The decor is SO AWESOME. And they give treats/goodies as you’re leaving. A five star rating is an understatement! Thank you, ladies!
Just took my 19-month-old daughter to her first dentist appt, and it was fantastic! The whole team was SO patient. Dr. Gibson easily took care of her, despite the squirming, and then blew bubbles with her! The office is adorable and the kids even get individual TVs while their teeth are cleaned… I wish Dr. Gibson was available to adults!
Dr. Gibson is so wonderful! She’s passionate and understanding and completely takes every patient and their needs to a personal level. She’s got the tender touch all kids need when seeing their doctor, of any type. Her office is exceptional. It’s so clean and modern yet so much fun for the little ones!
