Dental crowns are single tooth restorations that cover a tooth that is damaged to the point that it cannot be restored predictably with a filling. They can stand individually or be used as anchors for bridges to replace teeth. Many people tell us that they really don’t want crowns in their mouth because they have seen so many that look artificial. We pride ourselves in creating naturally beautiful crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth. In situations where we are making major changes to shape, length, or position of teeth we will spend a lot of time with provisional restorations that allow you to try out the changes and get everything looking and feeling right before we make the changes permanent. It is this time, skill, and judgment that differentiate elegant, excellent dentistry from the average. If you have questions about dental crowns in Capitol Hill, please call or office for a consultation.

The whiter shade and even gum line gave our patient the smile she always wanted.
