Dental Crowns and Bridges in Vienna, VA
Dental crowns and bridges restore damaged or missing teeth, helping you smile, chew, and speak with confidence. A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a weakened, cracked, or heavily restored tooth, protecting it while restoring its natural shape and strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighboring teeth or dental implants.
Together, these restorations improve comfort, function, and appearance while preventing surrounding teeth from shifting. With proper care and regular dental visits, crowns and bridges can provide durable, natural-looking results that support your long-term oral health and confidence for years ahead.
01.
The Process
- Your visit begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
- If you are receiving a crown, your damaged tooth is carefully reshaped. For a bridge, the supporting teeth are prepared to hold the restoration.
- Impressions are taken to create your custom restoration, and a temporary crown or bridge protects your teeth while your permanent restoration is being made.
- Once your custom restoration is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and function, and permanently cemented into place. You will also receive instructions for caring for your new restoration.

Next Steps
- Care for your restoration by brushing, flossing, and maintaining good daily oral hygiene.
- Attend regular dental checkups so your dentist can monitor your crown or bridge and your overall oral health.
- Contact our team if your restoration feels loose, uncomfortable, or damaged so any necessary adjustments can be made promptly.
