Crowns and Bridges
Crowns Made Custom for You
Crowns are made by taking an impression of the tooth after it has been shaped for the crown. This impression is sent to the dental laboratory to make the crown. While the crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. In addition to this process, we also remove any decayed part of your tooth, replacing it will a filling. Your customized, permanent crown is designed to look natural and cohesive with the rest of your smile.

Dental crowns are a vital part of modern dentistry because they have multiple uses and are always dependable.
A dental crown fits over your tooth, and it is designed to look like neighboring teeth.
Your dentist in Pikesville, MD relies on quality dental crowns to restore smiles and so much more!
Let’s look at how dentists use dental crowns to enhance and strengthen teeth.
Common Uses for Dental Crowns in Pikesville
If you’ve had a root canal or tooth trauma, your dentist may have used a tooth crown to stabilize that tooth following treatment. The tooth crown creates a cushion between your bite and your weak tooth so that you can bite down without fear of fracture.
We also use dental crowns to conceal tooth flaws like stubborn stains, chips, small gaps, and more.
And when it comes to restoring teeth, a dental crown works as your new tooth following dental implant placement. The crown caps your implant and looks like a natural tooth.
Dental crowns also secure a dental bridge to neighboring teeth to complete your smile when teeth are missing.

If you have missing teeth, we always recommend tooth replacement—not only for your emotional well-being but to promote better oral health.
When you have a missing tooth, your remaining teeth migrate toward the roomy opening, which can lead to tooth wear, cavities, and other oral health conditions.
If you’ve considered a dental bridge but thought it was similar to a partial denture, you are correct. However, there are a few key differences.
A dental bridge in Pikesville, MD is a prosthetic of restorative teeth situated between dental crowns. These crowns cap one tooth on either side of your smile gap, allowing the restoring teeth to fill in space. This is not a removable prosthetic, and it requires a special brush and floss threader for cleaning, specifically near the gum line.
A partial denture stands in for scattered tooth loss. The prosthetic holds teeth that fill in your smile gaps, but you can remove your partial for soaking or cleaning with a denture brush and denture paste.
These are both fantastic options, and your dentist can help you decide which is best for your smile goals.

Repair Broken or Damaged Teeth
Crowns can be necessary for many conditions. Often times teeth crack or break as a result of large fillings, tooth decay, grinding your teeth, or a misaligned bite. When the tooth structure has been compromised, a crown is often prescribed to protect the tooth from further breakage. The crown covers the entire outside of the tooth, providing a strong, bracing action to support the underlying tooth.

We Match Your Crown to Your Teeth
Yes, your crown will look cohesive with the rest of your natural smile. Our team will choose a shape and color for your crown that matches your teeth, providing you with a natural looking tooth. In some instances, patients may choose to whiten their teeth prior to fabrication of the crown. This allows us to match the crown to their new whitened tooth color, giving them a natural aesthetic smile.
