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 7 year old daughter was treated by John for a double extraction and Princess crowns over 2 visits. She was exceptionally nervous prior to her first visit, but John engaged with her over every aspect of her treatment, keeping her calm and answering all her questions. She took both visits all in her stride. A wonderful dentist for children... Where were you when I was growing up!? 😆

My 13 yr old son has always been nervous about the dentist so I was unsure how he would cope with getting 2 teeth removed. I needn’t have worried as John put him at ease straight away with his kind, friendly and supportive approach. He explained every part of the process to him and made him feel comfortable and reassured throughout. John and his team are fantastic and I would highly recommend them.

My son had to have an extraction under sedation as he was struggling to have it done with a local anaesthetic. John was amazing with him. So kind, reassuring and patient.

I just want to say my daughter had a wonderful experience at this dentist. My daughter was needing a tooth extracted in order to proceed with orthodontic treatment however she has a terrible fear of needles and after several trips to different dentists we had no luck and we had totally lost hope. This is when John reached out and explained how he believed he could help. After the initial assessment my child felt so at ease, John chatted to her about her interests and explained the procedure building a mutual trust. I can now confirm she has had the tooth extracted, after so many failed attempts we are over the moon. John was able to relate to my daughter and carry out the procedure in ways other practises failed to do. She got to watch netflix, wear cool minecraft sunglasses and choose a flavour for her sedation mask. The extraction itself was done in under 10 seconds and we are honestly so grateful that she had a painless, comfortable and enjoyable experience! Highly recommend and we will most certainly be back. Thankyou so much!

My little boy with ASD had a very bad experience at a well known NHS dentist. I contacted John, & he saw my son right away. He immediately put my son at ease & explained everything to him in the best child friendly way as possible. I'm so glad we have found a brilliant pediatric dentist. Going to the dentist now is a positive experience.

I am a medical professional and I don't use those words lightly. If I could only rate you more than 5 stars I won't hesitate. Excellent reception, dental nurses were very professional and kind, and no words would describe Mr John McCall, you sir take your job with both pride and love, you made the experience fun for both, my daughter and I. Extremely clean and cosy clinic with excellent communication of options and great results from the first visit. I wouldn't want to go to the dentist twice, but won't mind at all if I am going back to yours.❤️

Hands down the best paediatric dental service. I am delighted with how easy, calm and understanding John and his team are. The experience was wonderful for my son and everything was at his pace. I honestly can't recommend Kids Dental Care highly enough. What was needed was done efficiently and with so much care and aftercare. If my children need any dental care in the future John will be the first person I call.

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
