Dental Crowns & Bridges in Vienna, VA
Damaged or missing teeth can affect how your smile looks, feels, and functions. Dental crowns and bridges are restorative solutions designed to rebuild compromised teeth or replace missing teeth so you can enjoy a stronger, more complete smile.
What Are Dental
Crowns & Bridges?
Experience, Comfort & Convenience in One Office
Dental crowns and bridges are restorations used to address different types of damage and tooth loss.
A dental crown covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened, damaged, or otherwise requires restoration. The crown is designed to restore the tooth’s shape and function while improving its appearance.
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It fills the open space with replacement teeth that are supported by neighboring teeth or other appropriate support.
Your dentist can evaluate your smile and determine which type of restoration is appropriate for your needs.
Did You Know?
A missing tooth can affect more than the appearance of your smile. Depending on its location, tooth loss may affect chewing and allow neighboring teeth to gradually shift. Replacing a missing tooth can help restore function while maintaining a more complete smile.

Restore the Strength & Function of Your Smile
At Tysons Corner Dentists, restorative treatment begins with understanding what your smile needs.
Our team evaluates the condition of your teeth, discusses your concerns, and recommends treatment based on your individual oral health. Whether you need to protect a damaged tooth with a crown or replace missing teeth with a bridge, our goal is to restore function while creating a natural-looking result that complements your smile.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth needs more protection or support than a smaller restoration can provide.
Crowns can be used in several situations, including restoring significantly damaged or weakened teeth, protecting certain teeth following root canal treatment, or completing other restorative procedures.
A crown is designed to cover the visible portion of the affected tooth and restore its shape, strength, and function.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can replace a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth by filling the space left behind.
Traditional bridges generally rely on teeth adjacent to the open space for support. The replacement teeth between them restore the visible portion of the smile and help improve function.
Your dentist will evaluate the health of the surrounding teeth and discuss whether a bridge is an appropriate tooth replacement option for you.
Natural-Looking Smile Restoration
Restorative dentistry is not only about repairing damage. How your restoration looks and fits within your smile also matters.
Crowns and bridges are created to complement the size, shape, and appearance of your surrounding teeth. Your treatment will be planned according to your individual dental needs with the goal of creating a comfortable, functional, and natural-looking restoration.
