Dental Crowns & Bridges
Restore damaged teeth and replace missing ones with high-quality porcelain restorations — matched exactly to the color of your natural teeth.
Protect & Restore Damaged Teeth
At our Tysons Corner, VA office, we use high-quality porcelain dental crowns to cover and protect damaged teeth. Unlike veneers that cover only the front portion, crowns encapsulate the entire tooth — restoring its strength, shape, and appearance.
Porcelain is matched to the exact color of your teeth, is stain-resistant, and is stronger than metal. Patients throughout Vienna, McLean, Falls Church, and Northern Virginia choose our Tysons VA location for natural-looking, long-lasting crown restorations.
Replace Missing Teeth Naturally
Dental bridges consist of two porcelain crowns on either side of a false tooth (pontic), bridging the gap created by missing teeth. At our Tysons Corner office, we use sturdy, durable porcelain — stain-resistant and color-matched to your surrounding teeth.
Our team also offers dental implants and implant-supported bridges as alternatives. During your consultation, we'll discuss which option is best for your specific situation and goals.
What to Expect
Tooth Preparation
Your dentist prepares the tooth by reshaping it to accommodate the crown, then takes a precise impression to send to the dental lab.
Temporary Crown
A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth while your custom porcelain crown is being fabricated — usually 2–3 weeks.
Final Fitting
On your second visit, the temporary is removed, any last adjustments are made for fit and bite, and the permanent crown is bonded to the tooth.
Natural Result
The result is a natural-looking, durable porcelain crown that protects the underlying tooth from decay and damage.
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns
Long-Lasting Protection
Porcelain crowns protect a damaged or weakened tooth from further decay and breakage while restoring its full function.
Natural Appearance
Porcelain is matched to the exact color of your surrounding teeth and is stain-resistant, providing a beautiful, natural-looking result.
Stronger Than Metal
Modern dental porcelain is incredibly strong — providing durable, long-lasting protection that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Precise, Custom Fit
Each crown is custom fabricated from an impression of your tooth to ensure a comfortable, exact fit before permanent placement.

Common Questions
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-colored cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. When the structure of a tooth needs to be strengthened or restored, a crown is one of the most effective solutions available.
What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are made up of two porcelain crowns on either side of a false tooth (or pontic), and are used to bridge the gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. The crowns are cemented to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, anchoring the bridge in place.
Why do you use only porcelain crowns and bridges?
At Tysons Dental, we use only high-quality porcelain for our crowns and bridges. Porcelain can be matched to the exact color of your teeth, is stain-resistant, and is stronger than metal. The result is a restoration that looks natural and provides long-lasting protection.
Should I whiten my teeth before getting a crown?
Yes — patients interested in whitening their teeth through our in-office whitening system should do so before porcelain crowns are placed. This ensures the crown is color-matched to your brightened, post-whitening smile for the most seamless result.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, porcelain crowns and bridges can last 10–20 years or more. Regular professional cleanings, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like grinding or biting hard objects help maximize their lifespan.
What is the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A dental bridge is anchored to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap and does not replace the tooth root. A dental implant is placed directly into the jawbone, preserving bone and not requiring alteration of surrounding teeth. Our team will help you determine the best option for your situation during your consultation.
