Children's Dental Crowns in Glasgow

At Kids Dental Care, we are proud to have a dedicated team of expert dentists who can provide high-quality crowns for children across Scotland. We offer a range of options, including both metal and aesthetic white crowns, as well as techniques that do not require the use of local anaesthesia. Our aim is to work with you and your child to identify the most suitable treatment option tailored to their individual needs.

When Does a Child Need a Dental Crown?

Sometimes, decay (holes) in children’s teeth become too large or deep for a standard filling to be effective. In such cases, a crown is the recommended treatment option.

These pre-made crowns are designed to cover the entire tooth, restoring its function and protecting it from further damage. Crowns are a reliable way to protect and strengthen baby teeth until they naturally fall out and are replaced by the adult teeth.

White or Silver Crowns for Children

Children’s dental crowns come in two options:

  • Silver Crowns: Made of stainless steel, these durable crowns are cost-effective and widely used across the world as the first-choice material. Stainless steel is so strong the crowns can be made 0.5mm thick meaning we often don’t have to file away any tooth to have them fitted; This means the majority of children do not require any local anaesthetic to have these crowns placed.
  • White Crowns: Made of zirconia ceramic, these crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth, offering an aesthetic solution which is like the white crowns placed for adults. The procedure involves preparing the tooth by removing a minimal amount of tooth tissue to accommodate the crown (typically just under 2mm). Local anaesthesia will be required, but we offer The Wand (a computerised injection free technique) to ensure a comfortable experience for your child.

Our dental team will discuss these options further to help you find the perfect solution for your child.

The Benefits of Children’s Crowns

  • Protects Baby Teeth: Shields damaged teeth from further decay or fractures.
  • Restores Function: Allows your child to chew and speak comfortably.
  • Durable Solution: Crowns last for the lifespan of the baby tooth and should not require replacement
  • Aesthetic Options: White crowns provide a natural appearance

Affordable Dental Crowns for Kids

We are proud to offer NHS as well as leading private dental care here at KDC. Under the NHS, your child is eligible to receive stainless steel crowns at no cost.

For those seeking a more aesthetic solution, we offer white ceramic crowns at £250 per tooth.

My son has a massive phobia of the dentist. He went in this morning and had two fillings carried out and a tooth extracted. He actually couldn't believe how easy it was at the end up. Amazing service and dentistry work.

Easiest 5 star review I’ve ever given. From start to finish I was so impressed with the care, attention to detail and professionalism of Hannigan Dental Care. My daughter was referred by our own dentist for sedation for an extraction because she was struggling with nerves. In the initial consultation and subsequent procedure, John took the time to explain everything that was going to happen in child-appropriate language. He was patient, understanding and used the right level of humour to put her at ease. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Child required baby tooth removed and exposure of adult tooth. Lots of research as child is a very anxious patient. Read a review on John and contacted via email reply was professional and reassuring. First meeting with John immediately felt we had found the right clinician. Explanation into procedure with sedation was perfect for both child and parent we left feeling reassured. Procedure again John was extremely professional with a wonderful manner. I can't speak highly enough about John and the care he gave my child would highly recommend.

John and his team really are amazing !!! , after months of visiting different dental practices we thought our only option was to get our daughters braces removed as she was too anxious to get the teeth out to continue with the treatment . John made her feel at ease and calm from the first visit and she remained calm throughout the whole process . John has a fabulous approach with the kids and took his time to explain everything in a child friendly manner . Highly recommend

Tooth extraction. My 5 year old daughter had an amazing experience for 2x tooth extraction with John and his team. I would really recommend John and his team. As NHS waiting time to be done under GA is long.

The best service we’ve experienced. we found this practice online, for our daughter who’d been traumatised by a previous dental situation, where we life now in Costa Rica. After the first visit we seen a remarkable difference in her & she now loves going to the dentist & is asking when she can go back to visit John. An absolute miracle worker. It felt like we had a child psychologist expert, entertainer & skilled Denstist all in one. When we went to pay we couldn’t believe how reasonable the pricing was too - I’d recommend kids dental care to everyone

100% the best decision we could have made, our 6yr old daughter was suffering from 2 infected teeth which had to be extracted. NHS waiting time for this was almost 2yrs and her own dentist said "Unfortunately she's gonna need to grow up very quickly" this meant basically she would need to deal with it. We heard about this Dental surgery and that they were good with kids, and had our daughter referred. We were contacted within a week, had an appointment within another week, and within 4 weeks all done! The whole experience from start to finish was actually a pleasure!! Who knew visiting a dentist could be so much fun??? Our daughter herself had so much fun on both visits, to the point where she was actually excited to go back! She also has now asked to move her dental care to this surgery going forward. The professionalism from John and his colleagues is on another level, sit and watch your child being looked after like they were their own kids, exactly the way you would want when someone is working on your own child, they come down to her level, explain everything in a fun manner, always laughing and joking with your child, completely diverting attention away from any potential scary thoughts. Honestly, I could go on forever, this was not just a positive experience for our daughter, this was a lovely experience for the parents too! I CANNOT recommend or rate this surgery highly enough!

From the moment we arrived to when we left John and his team were exceptionally professional. John was able to identify on our first visit exactly what was causing our 6 year old son the pain, not only that he discovered other issues that we weren't before aware of with our son's teeth. Straight away he made him feel at ease and this continued throw the whole process of Luka having to get his tooth removed! During the time we couldn't of been made to feel more welcome as the rest of the staff made sure to also make Luka feel relaxed. After our visit John went out of his way to follow up in detail and sent us an email of Lukas treatment he received and highlighted possible things we now may have to look out for in the future going forward. Thanks again to all the Team.

John and the hygenist were great. My 11yo daughter is on the spectrum and can be nervous about any sort of appointment. John always explained and showed what he was about to do before doing it. Very kind and professional. A+++!

John and the entire team were amazing with Emily. She has had some real anxiety about dental treatment in the past and the experience at Kids Dental Care completely put her (and me!) at complete ease and has put the smile back on her face..literally! Thank you so much, everyone 😁

My 12 year old, who often faints from anxiety, had to have 4 teeth removed before she had braces fitted. John was exceptional, got her through the whole procedure with ease without any anxiety. Teeth extraction was incredibly fast and we are so thankful for the service he delivered. Would 100% recommend for any anxious children.
