Minimally Invasive Crowns for Baby Teeth in Bothell, WA
What Is a Hall Crown?
A Hall Crown is a stainless steel crown that’s gently placed over a decayed baby molar to seal the cavity without removing any tooth structure. The crown prevents bacteria from growing and protects the tooth until it naturally falls out. This approach is ideal for children who may be nervous, sensitive, or too young for traditional dental procedures
Why Parents Choose Hall Crowns
-
No numbing, no drilling, no needles
-
Completed in one quick visit
-
Long-lasting protection for primary teeth
-
Reduces need for sedation or multiple appointments
-
High success rate with fewer complications
​
Because there’s no removal of tooth material, the process is quick and comfortable — a great option for anxious kids or those with special healthcare needs.
What to Expect
We carefully fit the crown over the tooth and cement it in place. Your child may feel slight pressure, but the process is gentle and typically very well tolerated. The crown seals the tooth completely, helping to halt decay and preserve the tooth’s function.
​
Please note: Hall Crowns are silver-colored. While not tooth-colored, they are highly effective and well-suited for back molars that aren’t easily visible.
Is SDF Right for My Child?
We may recommend a Hall Crown if:
-
Your child has a large cavity in a baby molar
-
Your child is anxious or uncooperative with traditional treatment
-
You prefer to avoid sedation or general anesthesia
-
The tooth does not have an infection or nerve involvement
​
Hall Crowns are a safe, evidence-based option that helps children get the care they need without stress or fear — supporting a positive experience and healthy development.
