Get a New and Improved Smile with Dental Crowns in Alexandria, VA

A dental crown is designed to cover a badly decayed or damaged tooth that has lost a significant amount of surface due to tooth decay. A crown can also replace a lost tooth when it is attached to a bridge. Crowns are custom designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. One of the most common uses for a crown is extensive tooth decay, where a cavity is too large to be treated effectively with a standard dental filling.

Crowns can also be used to reinforce a weak or fractured tooth from further damage, or to improve the cosmetic appearance of a discolored or disfigured tooth. Also known as caps because they literally cover the remaining portion of a tooth, crowns are both a restorative and cosmetic solution to tooth loss. They also help to resolve many of the problems that result from tooth loss, like poor nutrition, slurred speech, and the social embarrassment and self esteem issues that many people experience after losing teeth.

Crowns typically require several trips to the dentist to complete, but you can get a temporary crown to wear until your custom crowns are ready. With proper oral hygiene and follow up dental care, the average dental crown can last from five to ten years, often much longer.
