Kids Tooth Team Michigan brings Sprig-certified white zirconia crown placement to Fenton and the Southern Lakes area. When your child needs a crown, our board-certified pediatric dentists restore the tooth using the highest quality materials available in pediatric dentistry, with a gentle, comfort-first approach that makes the appointment manageable for kids of all ages and temperaments. We serve families throughout Fenton, Lake Fenton, Linden, Holly, Grand Blanc, Hartland, Argentine Township, Tyrone Township, and the broader Genesee County area.
A dental crown is a full-coverage cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function completely. In children, crowns are most often recommended when decay is too extensive for a filling to hold, after a nerve treatment, or when a tooth has been structurally weakened by injury or fracture. Rather than replacing only part of the tooth the way a filling does, a crown seals the entire visible surface and provides lasting protection for as long as the tooth is needed. For Fenton families, Kids Tooth Team Michigan offers this level of care close to home with the expertise and materials your child deserves.
Dr. Kasey Stark is a Sprig-certified provider with specialty training in white zirconia crown placement for children. This credential requires completing advanced clinical coursework beyond standard pediatric dental training and is not held by every pediatric dentist. Fenton families have access to this level of expertise right in their own community.
Fillings in baby teeth fail 40 to 50 percent of the time. Crowns placed using proper technique and quality materials succeed at a rate of 95 to 99 percent. For any tooth with significant decay or structural compromise, a crown is the stronger clinical choice by a significant margin.
Kids Tooth Team Michigan places Sprig white zirconia crowns on both front and back teeth. These crowns are metal-free, biocompatible, and designed to match the appearance of surrounding teeth so naturally that most people cannot tell the difference. No silver, no metal, no crowns that draw attention.
When a tooth requires a pulpotomy or pulpectomy, the crown is placed in the same appointment whenever possible. That means one visit, complete protection from day one, and one less trip to our Fenton office for your family.

Our Fenton office uses Sprig brand zirconia crowns exclusively for white crown placement. Sprig is the premier all-zirconia pediatric crown on the market, fully biocompatible, chip-resistant, and precision-engineered for children's teeth. Zirconia is stronger than stainless steel under the forces of biting and chewing, and Sprig crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural teeth around them. We do not use generic or off-brand alternatives. Every Sprig crown placed at our Fenton office reflects Dr. Kasey's advanced certification training and our commitment to giving your child the best available care.
When a stainless steel crown is the most appropriate clinical option for a specific tooth or situation, our Fenton team offers it as a durable, well-established treatment choice. Our doctors assess each case individually and walk you through the reasoning behind every recommendation before any treatment begins, so you always understand why a particular crown type is being suggested for your child.
The Hall Technique allows a stainless steel crown to be placed with no drilling and no numbing injection, making it one of the most comfortable crown options available for young or anxious children. The tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the crown is cemented directly into place. It is not appropriate for every case, but where it fits, it is an excellent way to complete necessary treatment with minimal stress for your child.

We begin by reviewing X-rays and examining the tooth to confirm a crown is the right approach. We explain which crown type is being recommended, why it is the best fit for your child's specific situation, and exactly what the appointment will involve before any decisions are made.
The area is numbed with local anesthesia and nitrous oxide is offered when appropriate. The tooth is prepared and the crown is fitted and placed in a single visit. Your child may feel pressure during the procedure but should not experience pain at any point.
Before leaving our Fenton office, you receive clear aftercare instructions covering what to avoid, what is normal, and what to watch for over the next day or two. Most children are back to their regular routine the same day.

Baby teeth with significant decay or structural damage cannot be reliably restored with a filling alone. A crown protects the full tooth surface, prevents infection from progressing, and preserves the space the permanent tooth needs to erupt properly. For children in the Fenton Area Public Schools or Lake Fenton Community Schools districts, keeping those teeth healthy and stable matters for eating, speaking, and development well into the preteen years.
Sprig is the leading clinical brand in pediatric zirconia crowns and is not interchangeable with generic alternatives. Sprig crowns are precision-engineered for pediatric teeth, fully biocompatible, and placed using a technique that requires advanced certification training. At Kids Tooth Team Michigan, we use only Sprig because it is simply the best option available for children and the one we are trained and certified to place at the highest level.
Yes. For cases where it is clinically appropriate, our Fenton team can place a stainless steel crown using the Hall Technique, which involves no drilling and no numbing injection. We will evaluate the tooth during the exam and let you know whether this approach is a good fit for your child's specific situation.
Many crown procedures are completed comfortably with local anesthesia alone. For younger children, more anxious patients, or more involved cases, nitrous oxide is available at our Fenton office to help your child stay calm and relaxed throughout the appointment. We discuss sedation options with every family before the visit so you can feel fully prepared.
A Sprig zirconia crown placed correctly is designed to remain stable and functional until the baby tooth falls out naturally. With regular checkups at our Fenton office every six months and consistent at-home hygiene, the crown should not need to be replaced before that time.
Yes. Kids Tooth Team Michigan offers free second opinion consultations at our Fenton location. If your child has been told they need a crown and you want an honest, thorough assessment before moving forward, we are glad to take a look and give you our clinical perspective with no pressure.
