Crown Options

Northern Virginia Cosmetic Dentistry Serving Alexandria, Arlington, and Surrounding Areas

Tooth crowns are used to cover your individual teeth. They can be applied and positioned to fix a variety of dental issues including teeth that are crooked, stained, decayed or otherwise damaged.

Tooth crowns can be made of a variety of materials such as porcelain, gold or a porcelain and metal mixture. Most patients prefer to use porcelain crowns as they are much more aesthetically pleasing and have the strength and durability of the metal alternatives.

Regardless of the material used to create the crowns, the process for creating and applying them is extremely similar. The first step in this process is to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Varipapa and take a mold of your teeth. The dental laboratory then uses the mold to create your crowns, which are expertly fitted and adhered to your natural teeth with special dental cement.

The process of applying a tooth crown may be relatively simple in theory, but it takes an artful approach to get the natural-looking beauty a skilled dentist like Dr. Varipapa can achieve.
