When a tooth is damaged, weakened, or missing, it can affect far more than just your appearance. Everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling confidently may become difficult. At Lumen Dental of Tysons Corner, we offer high-quality dental crowns and bridges designed to restore both the function and beauty of your smile—comfortably and efficiently.
Our experienced dental team combines advanced technology with personalized care to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results for every patient.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are commonly used to:
- Protect teeth after large fillings
- Restore cracked, broken, or worn-down teeth
- Cover a tooth following root canal therapy
- Improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth
- Support dental bridges
Crowns are crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, providing both durability and aesthetics.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) between two crowns placed on neighboring teeth. Bridges help:
- Restore proper chewing and speaking ability
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Maintain facial structure
- Improve bite alignment
- Enhance your smile’s appearance
Bridges are a reliable, non-removable solution for patients who want a fixed alternative to dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crowns and Bridges
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
Does getting a crown or bridge hurt?
The procedure is generally comfortable. We use local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience, and most patients report only mild sensitivity afterward.
What materials are used for crowns and bridges?
Common materials include porcelain, ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and zirconia. We help you choose the best option based on strength, aesthetics, and location in the mouth.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Care is similar to natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, avoid chewing hard objects, and attend routine dental checkups.
Can a bridge replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes. Bridges can replace one or several missing teeth, depending on your needs and oral health.
Are crowns and bridges better than dentures?
Crowns and bridges are fixed restorations, meaning they do not move or need to be removed. Many patients prefer them for comfort, stability, and a more natural feel.
