What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are restorative treatments designed to cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They restore the tooth’s original shape and size while protecting it from further damage. Crowns can be made from various materials, with porcelain being the most popular due to its natural appearance and durability.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Our skilled dentist may recommend a dental crown for various reasons, including:

• Restoration: Repair a tooth damaged by injury or decay to restore its function and appearance.

• Protection: Shield a tooth after a root canal treatment to prevent further damage.

• Support: Anchor a dental bridge or provide a finishing touch for a dental implant.

• Strengthening: Reinforce a cracked, fractured, or weakened tooth for long-term stability.

• Enhancement: Improve the shape and appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

The Dental Crown Procedure

The dental crown process typically involves two appointments:

1. Initial Consultation and Preparation: Dr. Alathari will evaluate your tooth and take impressions to create a custom crown. The tooth will be prepared, and a temporary crown will be placed to protect it.

2. Crown Placement: At the second appointment, the final crown’s fit and appearance will be checked, and it will be bonded securely to the tooth.

For those seeking quick and convenient treatment, Potomac Dental Care offers same-day dental crowns. Using advanced CEREC technology, we can design, create, and place your crown in a single visit, allowing you to leave with a fully restored smile.
