Dental Crowns in Midlothian, VA

Q: Are there alternatives to a crown?

In some cases, options like dental fillings , inlays, or onlays may be appropriate. We will help you decide on the best treatment based on the health of your tooth and your long-term goals.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over the tooth, covering and protecting it like a cap. It strengthens a damaged tooth, restores its shape and size, and improves its aesthetic appeal.

Dental crowns are commonly used to:

Strengthen a weak tooth
Restore a broken or decayed tooth
Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
Cover a discolored or misshapen tooth
Support a dental bridge
Complete a dental implant restoration

A well-made crown supports long-term oral health by preserving natural tooth structures and preventing further damage.

Types of Dental Crowns

Our high-quality dental crowns are made from safe, biocompatible materials designed to last and perform like natural teeth. We will help you choose the right material based on your bite, location of the crown, and cosmetic preferences.

Same-Day Crowns

Using advanced 3D imaging and in-office milling, we offer custom dental crowns that can be designed, fabricated, and placed in a single visit. These crowns are made from high-quality ceramic material or zirconia and offer the convenience of fewer appointments without compromising quality.

Ceramic Crowns

Ceramic crowns are made from strong, tooth-colored materials such as zirconia or lithium disilicate, rather than traditional porcelain. They are metal free and provide natural-looking results, making them a popular choice for front teeth and cosmetic cases.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns offer exceptional strength and long-term durability, making them a reliable choice for restoring damaged or worn teeth. Their tooth-colored appearance blends well with natural enamel, and they work well in both front and back areas of the mouth.

Lab-Fabricated Crowns

For more complex cases or situations requiring specific materials, we also work with trusted dental laboratories to create custom crowns.

These lab-made restorations include porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, which combine a strong metal base with a tooth-colored porcelain exterior, as well as full gold crowns that provide excellent durability and longevity.

Lab-fabricated crowns are often recommended for larger restorations, patients with heavy bite forces, or when metal restorations are preferred.

What to Expect During a Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown is a routine treatment that protects a damaged tooth and restores your smile. The process is more comfortable than many people expect, and we take every step to make it as smooth and efficient as possible.

We start with a digital exam to assess your tooth and surrounding bone. If there’s an infection, root canal therapy may be needed first. Once the tooth is healthy, we gently shape it to make room for the crown, preserving as much of your natural tooth as we can.

Next, we take a digital scan (no messy impressions) to design your custom crown. In many cases, we can create and place your crown the same day. If your crown is made by a dental lab, we will fit you with a temporary one to protect the tooth while you wait.

When your permanent crown is ready, we check the fit, make small adjustments, and bond it securely in place. Some patients notice a bit of sensitivity for a few days, but overall, the procedure is quick and comfortable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have to admit I was not relishing the thought of having Two crowns that were in need of repair done at the same time , but then again it would be done with. I can’t really explain how stunned I was that it was all done in Two hours with the most professional and comforting care. Technology has come a long way in being able to have a real crown made and put on in this amount of time. I can’t thank Dr Rebecca Angus and her staff for their care, concern and professionalism.
