At Aglow Dental Studio in Reston, VA, we proudly provide custom dental crowns for patients from Reston, Sterling, Herndon, and nearby Northern Virginia communities. Led by Dr. Rosemary Ahanor, our team combines skill, artistry, and advanced technology to deliver results you can trust.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or compromised tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Our dental crowns are crafted using durable, lifelike materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or ceramic to ensure seamless blending with your natural teeth. Crowns are often recommended when a filling would not be sufficient to repair a tooth.
Reasons You Might Need a Dental Crown
Dental crowns are highly versatile and can address a wide range of dental needs, including:
- Restoring a severely decayed or fractured tooth
- Protecting a tooth after a root canal
- Strengthening a weakened tooth
- Covering a discolored or misshapen tooth
- Completing a dental implant restoration
- Supporting a dental bridge
