Dental Crowns
That Look & Feel Natural
Custom dental crowns restore strength, function, and beauty to damaged teeth. Same-day CEREC crowns available at our Ashburn, VA office. Whether you need protection after a root canal or a natural-looking solution for a cracked tooth, we offer every crown type in-house.
What Is a
Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. The crown restores the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are one of the most versatile and long-lasting restorations in dentistry.
At Esthetique Dentistry in Ashburn, we use advanced digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology to design crowns with exceptional precision. Unlike traditional impressions, our intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally, no goopy materials, no discomfort, and more accurate results.
We offer every crown material in-house, including same-day CEREC crowns that can be designed, milled, and placed in a single 2-hour visit. Whether you need maximum strength for a back molar or natural aesthetics for a front tooth, we have the right solution.
Do I Need a Dental Crown?
You may benefit from a dental crown if you have:
- A large cavity that cannot be filled
- A cracked, fractured, or broken tooth
- A tooth weakened by root canal treatment
- Severe tooth wear or erosion
- A dental implant needing a visible crown
- An old crown that needs replacement
- A tooth used to anchor a dental bridge
- Cosmetic concerns with a single tooth

FAQs
Common questions about dental crowns at our Ashburn, VA practice. Call us at (703) 729-6222 for anything not covered here.
Free ConsultationA dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. You may need a crown if you have a large cavity too big for a filling, a cracked or fractured tooth, a tooth weakened by root canal treatment, severe wear or erosion, or a dental implant that needs a visible tooth replacement.
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10–15 years, and many last 20 years or more. Factors affecting longevity include the crown material, your oral hygiene habits, whether you grind your teeth, and how much force the crown endures during chewing. We recommend nightguards for patients who clench or grind.
We offer all-ceramic porcelain crowns (best aesthetics), zirconia crowns (maximum strength), E.max lithium disilicate crowns (balanced strength and beauty), porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (traditional reliability), same-day CEREC crowns (one-visit convenience), and implant crowns for missing teeth.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Using digital scanning and in-office milling, we can design and fabricate your permanent crown in about 2 hours, all in a single appointment. No goopy impressions, no temporary crowns, no second visit.
The crown procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Some patients experience mild sensitivity afterward, which typically resolves within a few days. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation for anxious patients.
Dental crown pricing varies based on the material and complexity of your case. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of crown costs, and we offer 0% financing. Contact us for a personalized quote.
Traditional lab-fabricated crowns require two visits: one to prepare the tooth and place a temporary, and a second (1–2 weeks later) to bond the permanent crown. With our same-day CEREC technology, many crowns can be completed in a single 2-hour visit.
Yes, once your crown is permanently placed and the anesthesia wears off, you can eat normally. We recommend avoiding very hard foods (ice, hard candy) and sticky foods (caramels) that could damage any dental restoration. Treat your crowned tooth like a natural tooth.
A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth and is used primarily for cosmetic improvement. A crown covers the entire tooth (360°) and provides structural support for damaged or weakened teeth. Crowns are restorative; veneers are cosmetic.
Dr. Talwar has placed thousands of crowns over 15+ years. We offer every crown type in-house, including same-day CEREC. Digital scanning eliminates messy impressions. We use premium materials and provide sedation options.
