Frequently Asked Questions
How much do kids stainless-steel crowns cost in Bharuch?
Stainless-steel crown: ₹2,000–₹3,000 per tooth. Aesthetic tooth-coloured BioFlx / Zirconia crown for kids: ₹3,500–₹5,000 per tooth.
Why does my child need a crown on a baby tooth?
A baby tooth that has had a large cavity, an RCT, or is heavily broken is too weak to survive normal chewing. A crown fully covers it, extending its life until it naturally falls out at age 10–12.
What is a BioFlx crown?
BioFlx is a flexible, tooth-coloured biocompatible crown that looks almost natural — much more aesthetic than the shiny silver stainless-steel option. Great for front baby teeth.
Are stainless-steel crowns safe?
Yes — they are FDA-approved, mercury-free, and have been used in pediatric dentistry for over 60 years. The silver colour is the only downside.
Will my child's crown fall out with the baby tooth?
Yes — when the permanent tooth is ready to erupt, it dissolves the root of the baby tooth and the crown falls out with it, naturally.
How long does it take to place a crown?
Usually 30–45 minutes per tooth, often combined with the same visit as an RCT or filling.
Silver crown vs BioFlx — which should I choose?
Silver is stronger and cheaper for back molars where aesthetics don't matter. BioFlx or Zirconia is better for front teeth or if the parent wants a natural look. Both last the same.
Are the crowns painful to place?
No — the tooth is fully numbed. Placement is quick and painless.
