Dental crowns are often used in conjunction with other restorative dentistry measures in order to give patients the smile they dream of. Dental crowns, or caps, are made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are custom-crafted to fit over the existing tooth. At Dental Masters, we are experienced in providing dental crowns to patients so that they can smile with confidence. Learn more about dental crowns and how they can restore the function and beauty of your teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are caps that cover the entire surface of a tooth. They can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal. Dental crowns are custom-crafted to fit over an existing tooth. Dental crowns are often used in conjunction with other restorative dentistry measures, such as
bridges or
implants, in order to give patients the smile they desire.
Signs You May Need a Dental Crown
There are a number of signs that you may need a dental crown, including:
Are Dental Crowns Painful?
Dental crowns are not usually painful. However, the process of preparing the tooth for the crown can be uncomfortable for some patients. To prepare the tooth, the dentist will numb the area with local
anesthesia. Once the area is numb, the existing tooth will be trimmed down to make room for the crown. This part of the procedure can cause some discomfort. However, the local anesthesia will help to minimize any pain.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."
Brett E.
"Dr. Laviola explained everything down to the last detail ..Soon after I was getting prepared for a life-changing event with dental implants. The surgery was so simple ..If you follow all instructions on medications there is little to no pain. The dental surgeon is amazing ..Everything from start to finish was done with perfection."
