Get the best dental crown Treatment in Leesburg, Ashburn, Sterling, and Lansdowne, Virginia.
A crown is a cover fitting over a tooth that has lost too much structure to hold a filling. It restores the shape and takes the chewing load.
A crown is usually recommended when a filling can no longer hold, after root canal treatment on a back tooth, when a tooth has cracked, or when heavy grinding has worn it down.
A crown should fit well, look natural and last. These are the ways we work toward all three:
Getting a crown normally takes two separate appointments, unless the crown is milled here on site.
Ask for an assessment before deciding between a crown and any other alternative in Leesburg, Ashburn, and Lansdowne in Loudoun County Virginia.
What a crown does, in plain terms, comes down to these three things:
Crowns, bridges, and implants solve different problems. A crown saves a tooth you still have. A bridge and an implant both replace one you have lost, by different means.

| Purpose | Cover & protect a damaged tooth | Replace missing tooth | Bridge the gap of missing teeth/teeth |

The procedure for getting dental crowns is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that you experience little to no pain during the process. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity after the anesthesia wears off, but this can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
The entire process of getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to Lansdowne Family Dental. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed, and the impression is sent to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of the permanent crown. On the second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is placed and adjusted for fit and comfort.
Dental crowns are designed to be durable and long-lasting. With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, dental crowns can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or even longer. It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices to ensure the longevity of your dental crown.
