What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that are designed to fit over the entire tooth that improves not only its appearance, but also allows it to function normally again. Dr. Khalil or Dr. Merlo may recommend dental crowns if you have cracked, broken or weakened teeth from decay. Dental crowns may also be used with dental implants to help support dental bridges. 

Our Dental Crown Process At Ashburn Dentistry By Design

We take a patient-centered approach to our care, which means we prioritize your comfort and specific needs, especially when it comes to restoring your smile with a dental crown. We always want to make sure our patients fully understand their dental treatments so we can leave no doubts and you can place full confidence in your care. Here’s what you can expect from our dental crown process:

  • Comprehensive Evaluation: We will first do a thorough exam and take digital images and X-rays of your mouth to determine that a crown is the best solution for you. Your dentist will then talk with you about your case and answer any questions so you feel confident and informed.

  • Tooth Preparation: If both you and your dentist determine that a crown is the best option, we will begin to prepare the tooth by gently shaping it to create the ideal foundation for your new restoration.

  • Digital Impressions: Using our advanced technology, our team will take precise digital impressions of your teeth—no messy trays are needed here! These impressions are used to craft a crown that fits comfortably and looks natural.

  • Temporary Crown: Until your permanent one is ready, our team at Ashburn Dentistry by Design will put on a temporary crown to keep the tooth protected from any damage.

  • Custom Crown Placement: You’ll come back to our Ashburn office for a second appointment where one of our dentists will securely bond your permanent crown in place.

  • Finishing Adjustments: Before you head home, your dentist will check the crown’s fit and bite alignment to make sure everything is just right.

Caring For Dental Crowns

You may notice some tenderness in your gums, but that is normal and should go away soon. If you experience any discomfort, you can manage that with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen and Tylenol. After you’ve healed, caring for your new dental restoration is simple. Continue your good oral hygiene habits and visit us regularly for your dental exams and cleanings. Plus, we also recommend you stay away from foods that may damage dental crowns, include:

  • Hard candies
  • Sticky, chewy foods
  • Chewing ice
  • Extremely crunchy foods

Benefits Of Dental Crowns

At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, our dental crowns do more than just restore teeth—they restore confidence. Here are just a few of the many benefits that come with this type of dental restoration at our practice:

  • Restored Strength And Function: They protect and strengthen weakened or damaged teeth, which allow you to chew, speak and smile with ease.

  • Natural-Looking Appearance: We use high-quality tooth-colored materials that mimic and feel just like your natural teeth!

  • Long Lasting: Our crowns are designed to withstand the test of time, and with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, yours can last 15 years or even longer.

  • Personalized: We take a personalized approach. From your initial consultation to the final crown placement appointment, we tailor our care to your needs and goals.

  • Prevents Future Damage: By preserving the remaining tooth structure, it prevents further wear and tear and fractures and even saves you from needing more extensive dental work in the future.
