Bioflx crowns for kids in Oakland, CA are flexible pediatric crowns made from a hybrid polymer material designed specifically for children’s dental restorations. These crowns provide a tooth-colored appearance while offering flexibility and adaptability for selected situations where a pediatric crown may be recommended.
Bioflx crowns are preformed pediatric crowns made from a flexible hybrid polymer material designed for children’s dental needs. Unlike stainless steel crowns, Bioflx provides a tooth-colored appearance, while its flexible design offers a different material approach compared with rigid ceramic crown options.

This is hands down the best pediatric dentistry in the entire Bay Area. From the moment you walk in, the reception staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. That warmth continues with the dental assistants and Dr. Franklin herself. My children are always so well cared for, but today’s visit truly stood out. When we discovered my young son had cavities, Dr. Franklin immediately sensed our worry. Before even discussing the treatment, she took the time to console my husband and me, reassuring us that this happens often and isn't a reflection of our parenting. Her empathy is unmatched. We are so grateful to have found this practice and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want the best for your children, look no further. Dr. Franklin + Staff: I wish you all nothing but health, wealth, and success! You guys are WONDERFUL! Thank you, thank you, thank you!![]()

We love Dr. Franklin and her whole staff. My three boys are all patients at Redwood Pediatric Dentistry and I appreciate their suggestions for dental health and how they really connect with my kids. The lots of personal touches like their names on the door, my little one loves the toys and my older kids appreciate that the staff are all very friendly and fun to talk to. They also make scheduling and insurance billing very easy. Highly recommend!![]()

I started taking my now three-year-old here when she first turned one. Dr. Franklin and the team makes the experience so seamless and as fun as comforting for the kiddos, as well, a dentist trip can be :). We’re very grateful to have found this place and we’re excited that our kiddos will be here for a very long time.![]()

My family and I are so happy we came across Dr. Franklin’s office for my 6 yr old son. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. You feel like family when you go and I love that not only is the space specifically curated for kids but all the staff have a talent for working with kids. They know exactly what to do to help the kids feel at ease. When my son had a filling, he was nervous going in but once he got on the chair Dr. Franklin explained everything to him step by step and when we was done he said it wasn’t so bad :) I also love that Dr. Franklin gives you a lot options when your child needs treatment. She is very health conscious and puts that at the forefront of her practice. I wish I had a child dentist like this when I grew up. I would always look forward to going. If you’re looking for a dentist for your child, I highly recommend Dr. Franklin!![]()

Yes. Bioflx crowns have a white appearance and may be considered for families looking for a more natural-looking alternative to traditional silver-colored crowns.
BioFLEX may be considered when its flexible material properties and appearance match the needs of the affected tooth. Dr. Franklin evaluates the tooth condition, location, and restoration goals before recommending a crown material.

BioFLEX crowns may be used for selected baby teeth when a crown restoration is recommended. Dr. Franklin evaluates each child’s tooth before selecting the most suitable material.
The lifespan of a BioFLEX crown depends on factors such as tooth location, crown fit, oral habits, and ongoing dental care. Regular visits help monitor the restoration over time.
