Dental Crowns in Pikesville, MD
Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
Where damage to a tooth is extreme and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain-bonded-to-gold crowns to make the smile appear as new. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing even the most severe dental problems, and for permanently replacing missing teeth to restore a complete smile and a functional bite. It is usual for these treatments to last 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.
Our Pikesville practice is renowned for the quality of its crown and bridge work and the changes it makes for people with badly worn or broken teeth.
