Dental Crowns and Smile Make Overs in Burke, Virginia

Dr. Stephen Price and his friendly, professional team at Cosmetic Dental Associates in Burke are skilled at delivering perfect smiles to enhance patients’ confidence and help them achieve their oral health goals. Dental crowns are often used to improve imperfections in one or multiple teeth. Crowns may be recommended to address issues such as damaged, chipped or broken teeth and in some cases, crooked teeth or misaligned teeth. Damage can happen as a result of an injury or the result of décor or wear over time.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over the natural tooth. Depending on the circumstances, the tooth may be filed down for a secure, comfortable fit. Crowns can be fabricated from precious metals, porcelain, resin or ceramics. They protect the remaining natural tooth and restore the tooth to its original – or better – shape.

Dental crowns are intended to be permanent, and patients can enjoy all types of foods and regular activities as if they were their own, natural teeth. Crowns do not require special care once placed, other than good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. With advanced technology and expert placement, Dr. Stephen Price has transformed thousands of smiles with porcelain crowns resulting in natural-looking, long-lasting, perfect smiles.

What are the benefits of dental crowns vs dental implants?

Many patients can achieve their desired smile makeover without invasive surgery involved with dental implants. Dental crowns are a good alternative when it is possible or desired to preserve the natural tooth base. No surgery is required, and recovery time is minimal.

What can you expect when you receive a dental crown?

Receiving a new dental crown involves three steps. At your first visit, Dr. Price and his team will shape and prepare the affected tooth. They will also take an impression of the tooth, which is necessary for fabricating the final crown. Dr. Stephen Price and his team will help you decide which material to use for your crown to achieve the smile you’ve been dreaming of.

You’ll receive a temporary crown to wear until the second visit, where the permanent crown is cemented into place. Each part of the procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour, but results in a beautiful smile with no surgery.

Dr. Price and his dedicated team at Cosmetic Dental Associates in Burke will work with you to create your own ideal smile, with an estimate of the costs when your plan is created. They will walk you though the steps of creating your plan to choose the best materials to fabricate the restoration, and the placement of your crown.
