Been told, or suspect, that your child might need a dental crown to protect weak, damaged or badly decayed teeth? MyoKids Dental is one of the most affordable and highest-rated children’s dentists in Surrey.
A children’s dental crown is often the next best course of action following a root canal, when decay runs too deep or when a tooth is too badly damaged and requires more protection than a standard filling can provide.
At MyoKids in Weybridge, we go out of our way to make treatment as calm as possible. Our paediatric dentists can place crowns with or without tooth preparation, sometimes eliminating the need for local anaesthetic, and will discuss your options during a check-up.
In addition to protecting the tooth long-term or keeping the baby tooth in place until it is ready to fall out, our crown options allow children to eat comfortably and look and feel completely natural.
We offer dental crowns for baby teeth, mixed dentition, and adult teeth. Unlike adult crowns, which are custom-made in a dental laboratory, paediatric dental crowns are prefabricated in standard sizes and shapes, then adjusted chairside by our dentists to ensure a perfect fit. Available in metal (SSCs) and zirconia ceramic.
For weak baby teeth, a crown can keep the tooth in place until it naturally falls out, holding space for the adult tooth underneath. Crowns preserve the tooth, protect the bite and reduce the risk of infection.
Children’s dental crowns are recommended for cracked teeth, deep tooth decay or large cavities. They’re also a common next step for root-treated teeth following a root canal procedure.
When decay reaches deeper inside the tooth, your child might need pulp therapy or a baby root canal. After this procedure, we typically recommend a crown to protect the tooth long-term and reduce the risk of future issues.
Our paediatric dentists, including Principal Dr Michael Marshall and Dr Prajapati, provide modern, cutting-edge paediatric dentistry.
Having placed hundreds of children’s dental crowns throughout their careers, parents can feel at ease knowing their child’s tooth health, position, bite balance and oral function can be cared for under one roof.

My young son had struggled with other dentists and we had experienced numerous failed attempts to have required treatment completed elsewhere due to his anxieties. Our experience with MyoDental has been incredible. The care taken from all the staff to understand our circumstances, welcome him, make him feel at ease, build trust, etc. has been beyond our hopes and expectations. Michael's ability to communicate clearly during his appointments, address and empathise with my son's concerns, and encourage him to allow the treatment to be completed has been fantastic. Would very highly recommend, especially for any parents who have young children who are anxious of visiting dentists.Posted on Google![]()

We highly recommend Myodental, especially Dr Marshall’s expertise in holistic orthodontics. Our daughter, 11 at the time, had top and bottom overcrowding as well as an impacted canine. We were advised previously to remove 4 healthy teeth before braces, which we were quite reluctant to proceed with. Luckily, we found Dr Marshall who meticulously put together the best treatment plan for our daughter, including a Schwartz palatal expander (and without any unnecessary teeth extractions). 24 months later - a wide, beautiful, perfect smile. We are extremely happy with the results! Many thanks to the whole team!Posted on Google![]()

I was more than happy to travel all the way from Dorset for every appointment for my daughter. When you start doing research into the dental industry, it soon becomes apparent that not all professionals are created equal! I wanted to bring my daughter here because Michael is one of the few who truly takes in the bigger, holistic picture and not just 'straightening' teeth. He understands the importance of airway, bone formation, and over-all health. It was no surprise to me that MyoDental even have people travelling from abroad for Michael's services. Absolute professionalism and 5-star service from the team the whole way. My daughter loved going to her appointments!Posted on Google![]()

Delighted - four months on I have straight and tastefully whiter teeth. The process was surprisingly straightforward once you had got used to having the retainers in your mouth. You can see progress almost immediately. And the end result was impressive given that teeth start to meander when you get older. Michael is a delight to work with and his team patient. Their pricing is also transparent so there were no hidden charges which it always appreciated. Many thanks. P.s. my bite in back in the right place for the first time since I was a teenager.Posted on Google![]()

I had a hygiene appt today with Nicola and she was fantastic. I haven't had teeth so clean, with stains gently removed from coffee etc., in a long time. She was helpful and knowledgeable and took the time and care required to get my teeth in great shape, without causing me discomfort. I rarely think to leave reviews but I was so impressed with Nicola that I was motivated to take the time to do so.Posted on Google![]()
AminaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I had very bad overcrowding of my teeth, and I visited several clinics across London where everyone wanted to remove two teeth from the bottom to straighten them, which didn’t feel right to me. When I found Dr. Marshal, he was the only one who suggested expanding the jaw using ALF, with no need to remove any teeth. The whole treatment was excellent. Dr. Marshal was always kind and explained everything in detail. I felt very comfortable throughout all my appointments. The result is amazing - straight teeth and a beautiful smile. Thank you, I am very grateful for my smile! As a bonus, I also have a better jawline.Posted on Google![]()

I popped into MyoDental just to make a general enquiry and not only did I come out with some useful advice, but a hygienist appointment made for me two hours later. Very happy with the appointment and was very appreciative to the staff who didn't mind my fussy baby being in tow! It was a very welcoming practice and I plan to return.Posted on Google![]()

Dr Marshall was amazing fixing my son’s chipped tooth after 3 years and many refusals from others claiming he is too young to have it done. His first reaction was “what, so I can smile again?!” 🥹 Thank you, Dr Marshall for making this happen, your expertise and approachable made this experience a bliss.

Reviews
MyoKids Dental recommends a children’s crown if a baby tooth is badly decayed, broken, weak or has had pulp therapy. A crown protects the tooth and keeps it in place until it is ready to fall out naturally.
Yes. MyoKids Dental typically uses crowns on baby teeth when a filling isn’t strong enough. They can help preserve the tooth, protect chewing function and maintain space for the adult tooth.
A filling may be enough for a small cavity. We may recommend a crown if the cavity is large, the tooth is weak, the tooth has broken down, or the tooth needs protection after pulp therapy.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so your child should not feel pain during treatment. Our team also uses child-friendly explanations and provides safe sedation to help nervous children relax.
Yes. Dental sedation for kids is available when needed, especially for very anxious children, younger children or more complex treatment. We have multiple IACSD-accredited sedation providers on our team.
A crown on a baby tooth is usually designed to last until the tooth naturally falls out.
Yes. When the baby tooth is ready to fall out naturally, the crown usually comes out with it.
If a baby tooth is removed too early, your dentist may recommend a space maintainer to help hold the gap open for the adult tooth underneath.
Children’s crown fees depend on the tooth, the type of crown and whether extra treatment is needed first. A check-up is required before the dentist can confirm the cost, but as a guide, our fees for a dental crown at MyoKids start from £250.
