Dental Crowns

Restoring Your Smile With Honesty & Transparency

If you have a cracked or damaged tooth, are you self-conscious about your smile? Maybe you’re experiencing discomfort from a tooth and it’s interfering with your daily life. At Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, we recognize that feeling happy and confident with your smile can make a difference in how you live each day, which is why we offer dental crowns.

Depending on your situation, you may benefit from a dental crown in order to not only achieve a more aesthetically pleasing grin, but also to restore the health and function of your tooth and even prevent more treatments down the road. Dr. Khalil and Dr. Coyle, our experienced dentists in Lansdowne, VA, are here to discuss your oral health concerns and determine if this is the dental restoration option for you.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over your entire tooth in order to restore your teeth from damage or decay that has caused them to weaken over time. At Lansdowne Dentistry by Design, we take a personal approach to your care and make sure your crown is tailor-made to fit your exact dental structure. We also utilize high-quality materials to ensure it lasts for years to come.

Here are a few reasons you may need dental crowns:

  • Protect a broken tooth
  • Support a cracked or damaged tooth
  • Support a dental bridge
  • Restore the health and function of a weakened tooth
  • Cover a stained or discolored tooth

The Process Of Receiving Dental Crowns At Lansdowne Dentistry By Design

We want our patients to feel confident in their oral health decisions, so we strive to communicate transparently with you so you can make an informed decision. Here is what you can expect when receiving a dental crown at Lansdowne Dentistry by Design:

Before we even schedule your dental crowns appointment, we will discuss with you the oral health problems you may be experiencing and how our team can address these issues. We value your time and want you to know that your initial consultation at our Lansdowne office is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about dental crowns.

At your first appointment for a dental crown, we’ll gently remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth to ensure a proper fit and provide a strong foundation for the crown. Our team will also take digital impressions during this appointment using advanced technology to keep you relaxed and comfortable while ensuring our partnered lab gets the exact specifications for crafting your custom crown.

Once your custom-made dental crown is ready, we will have you come into our Lansdowne office for your second appointment. At this time, Dr. Khalil will make sure the dental restoration fits precisely on top of your natural tooth before permanently securing it in place with a dental cement. We will smooth and polish it off to make sure it has the desired shape you’re looking for.
