Sterling, VA-based dental clinic Loudon Dental Associates is sharing the benefits of dental crowns, one of the most common methods of tooth restoration.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a tooth that is broken, worn, or has portions destroyed by tooth decay. The crowns improve a decayed tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance, provide long-lasting protection, and are often offered along with root canal treatments to save ailing molars.
While traditional fillings require metal to be applied directly to the tooth, crowns go on top of existing teeth making them a safer option. They are fabricated in a lab from the mold of the patient’s unique tooth impression and, due to their custom nature, can be sculpted to ensure the wearer’s bite and jaw movements function normally.
Dr. Theo Batistas from Loudon Dental Associates talks about the benefits of dental crowns by saying, “First, crowns provide extra support to weak teeth that may be prone to cracking or breaking by holding them together. Crowns can also restore the shape and size of the tooth if it has been worn down or broken. Next, dental crowns can be made to match the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from others and improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. Moreover, dental crowns improve the functionality of your teeth by restoring their ability to chew and bite properly. They can even be used to cover dental implants, providing a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Finally, due to their durability, crowns can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.”
While crowns are generally recommended for adults, the dentists at Loudoun Dental Associates may also consider them for children to save a decayed tooth that can’t support a filling, protect the child’s teeth that are at high risk for tooth decay, and decrease the rate at which general anesthesia may be necessary for children because of their age, behavior, or medical history, to fully cooperate with the requirements of proper dental care.
The full range of services offered at Loudoun Dental Associates includes cosmetic dentistry services such as bonding, veneers, Invisalign, teeth whitening, and emergency services, restorative dentistry services such as bridges, crowns, implants, dentures, and Teeth Xpress, and general dentistry services such as sealants, root canals, gum disease, 3d imaging, sedation, and kids dentistry.

A recent review says, “I wish I could give 100 stars. Loudon Dental Associates is absolutely amazing. I searched for 2 years for a dentist to do complete implants when I found them. Dr. B and his staff were so fantastic, worked out a plan on the first visit, worked with me on the payment, and made me feel very comfortable. As of today, I have a brand new smile and I am so happy. I drove over 45 minutes to each of my appointments - just another example of how awesome his staff is. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to go to Loudon Dental Associates for any dental care needed.”
Another patient recounts their experience by saying, “There is always a sense of nervousness before a dental cleaning with the stigma of drills and pain and screaming patients. But, my experience here with my hygienist Johannah was wonderful. She was very welcoming and put me at ease with her friendly and kind personality and her skills were very impressive when cleaning and treating my teeth. I actually fell asleep during the process and had zero pain or sensitivity. I will recommend this clinic to everybody and tell everybody to ask for Johannah.”
