Dental Crowns in Williamsburg, VA

Why You Should Get Dental Crowns

A dental crown is an ideal solution for restoring a tooth that is severely broken down or has undergone a root canal. Patients often wonder why a crown is necessary—crowns are essential when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be repaired with a simple filling. Additionally, they provide protection and strength to preserve your natural tooth.
 

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your visit will begin with localized numbing to ensure you're comfortable throughout the procedure. We'll carefully remove any decayed or damaged portions of the tooth and use a durable material to build it back up, creating a strong foundation for the crown.

Next, the tooth is shaped by gently removing structure from the top and sides. This makes space for the crown to fit precisely over the tooth and restore its natural shape and function.
 

Digital Impressions for a Perfect Fit

We use advanced digital scanning technology to take impressions of your tooth, as well as the surrounding and opposing teeth. This ensures your dental crown is custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. While your permanent crown is being crafted, you’ll be fitted with a temporary crown to protect your tooth and maintain function.
 

Dental Crown Delivery: Making It Yours

At your delivery appointment, we’ll check the shade and fit of your new crown to ensure it blends beautifully with your natural teeth. Once everything looks and feels right, the crown is permanently cemented in place—restoring your smile and letting you enjoy your favorite foods again with confidence!
