Smile makeover with crowns in Arlington, VA

Cosmetic case of the day
This patient wanted me to give her a pretty smile in time for her sister’s wedding. Here’s the before and after pictures. Her smile looks beautiful.
Crown case of the day
This patient was hit in the mouth with a tennis racquet and broke his front tooth. The tooth also required a root canal, and periodontal crown lengthening surgery. I placed a temporary crown on the tooth for 2 months while the gums healed and did a computerized custom shade match to obtain a perfect color match.
Crown case of the day
For this patient today, I removed 2 porcelain fused to metal crowns that she recently had done in El Salvador, cleaned up the decay underneath, polished her other teeth, and placed 2 beautiful new zirconia crowns. She was so happy and has a beautiful smile for Christmas :-)))
Crown, and post and core case of the day
This patient today broke off his upper lateral incisor. We discussed the different restorative options. I told him I would try to save the root and build a tooth back up for him and place a crown. The tooth had a root canal many years ago. I drilled out the canal and cemented a titanium post inside the canal and build the tooth up. I prepared the tooth and made and cemented a zirconium crown over the build-up.

This patient was concerned with her decayed upper right lateral incisor. I was able to remove the decay on that tooth and the adjacent one without a root canal, build-up the tooth, and restore the tooth with a beautiful zirconia crown. Here’s the before and after pictures.
Replacing broken amalgam fillings with dental crowns in Arlington, VA
This first patient came to see me for this broken lower molar. He said he had 4 silver amalgam fillings placed in his lower molar over the last 10 years by various dentists and the tooth or filling and kept breaking. I told him he needs a crown. Here’s the pre-treatment x-ray, and photo of the broken tooth before and after removal of the old filling and decay, composite build-up and placement of the porcelain crown.
This next patient broke her molar biting into an almond. I removed the broken part and old amalgam filling and restored this tooth with a crown. Here’s the before and after photos.
This next patient broke her last molar and old amalgam filling biting on hard seed. Here’s this before and after.
t is incredibly common for older silver amalgam fillings to weaken a tooth over time, leading to structural fractures when biting down on something hard. This patient fractured her last molar and old metal filling on a seed, requiring comprehensive restoration. I used a custom-crafted, tooth-colored dental crown to completely rebuild the tooth’s structure, sealing out decay and restoring maximum biting strength. As you can see from the before-and-after photos, the final crown looks completely natural and preserves the tooth beautifully.

Replacing a 20 year old crown
This patient wanted me to replace her 20 year old crown. She had gum recession exposing her root and recurrent decay that had spread under her old crown. The dark area showed when she smiled. I cut off the old crown, removed the decay and made her a beautiful new porcelain crown to cover the exposed root. Here’s the before and after photos.
