How dental crowns are used to restore the smile
Repairing the smile when problems arise is vital to protect the remaining teeth and avoid future dental work that can be costly and time-consuming. One restoration commonly used in dentistry is that of the dental crown. Drs. Sina Reangber and Scott Koo and the team at Lifetime Smiles offer Haymarket and Gainesville, Virginia area patients’ solutions for the smile. That may include the fabrication and placement of a dental crown, sometimes referred to as porcelain teeth caps.
What are porcelain teeth caps?
Also known as dental crowns, porcelain teeth caps are strong porcelain restoratives that function as therapeutic and cosmetic dentistry answers. They are used to cover the entire tooth and protect and strengthen it. There are many situations in which our team of professionals may recommend placing a porcelain crown. Crowns are used to:
- Cover chipped and cracked teeth.
- Strengthen weak teeth.
- Hide repairs, like root canal therapy.
- Take the place of a large filling.
- Hide a misshapen tooth.
- Whiten teeth that are stained or discolored.
- Restore function to damaged teeth.
- Serve as a replacement for old or compromised tooth enamel.
The goal of crowns is for them to appear natural. They’re crafted to fit your teeth, including enamel color, form, and size, and they stay comfortably on the diseased tooth. Your crown should be inconspicuous after the bonding procedure so that no one is aware it exists.
What can I expect from the fabrication and placement of a porcelain dental crown?
The dental crown is created in a dental laboratory. This laboratory will need information from the dentist to create the perfect crown, including information about the final shape, size, and color of the restoration. Impressions are made after a tooth has been prepared, filed down, and used by the ceramist to develop the final restoration.
Once complete, patients return to the dental practice to have their new crown bonded in place. The entire process from start to finish can take just a week or two to complete.

Debbie's success story
I came into Lifetime Smiles several years ago because I had a lot of dental work that needed to be done and I had spent years very, very embarrassed of my teeth.
I had some that were, several actually that were cracked, were in really bad shape and I had spent years of my life, actually probably about two decades embarrassed to talk to as many people as I wanted to smile. I had read amazing reviews on mylifetimesmiles.com website, and I came in here I met Dr. Reangber and her staff, and she sat me down and had three plans made out for me in order to address the absolutely pertinent we have to do right now teeth to address some, a little down the line and some even later than that.
She gave me three different plans to choose from and I have all crowns on my top teeth and a few on the bottom teeth, and I have had nothing but absolutely the best service. Every single time I’ve been called reminded of appointments.
I just want to make sure everybody understands, no matter how many problems you have with your teeth, if you come in here, they’re going to treat you like family and you’ll never feel like you need to be afraid to open up your mouth when you come into this facility and Dr. Reangber and all the staff in here have done nothing, but make me feel like I’m part of the family.
So I hope that if you consider coming here, you’ll do so and I pray that you have the amazing experience that I did.
