Restore Strength, Beauty, and Function to Your Smile
At Arlington Dental Excellence, we believe that every smile deserves to be healthy, functional, and beautiful. Dental crowns are one of the most effective and versatile restorative treatments we offer to help you achieve that. Whether you have a weakened, cracked, decayed, or cosmetically damaged tooth, a dental crown can restore your tooth’s integrity while enhancing your smile’s appearance.
Our dental crowns in Arlington, VA, are expertly crafted to match your natural teeth and provide long-term durability. Under the skilled care of Dr. Layth Ghanim, who brings over 38 years of experience to the field of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, patients at our clinic benefit from advanced technology and a compassionate, multi-specialty team that treats you like family.

At Arlington Dental Excellence, we use the latest techniques and digital technologies to ensure precision, comfort, and exceptional results. Here’s what you can expect:
During your first visit, Dr. Ghanim will examine the affected tooth and surrounding structures using digital X-rays and 3D imaging. We’ll assess the extent of damage and determine the appropriate crown material for your needs.
To accommodate the crown, a minimal amount of enamel is gently removed from the tooth’s surface. If the tooth is significantly damaged, we may build it up with a filling material before crown placement.
We use intraoral scanners to take highly accurate digital impressions—no messy putty needed. This ensures a perfectly fitting crown and a seamless bite alignment.
A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated by our partner dental lab.
Once your final crown is ready, we remove the temporary and bond the permanent one in place using high-strength dental cement. Minor adjustments are made to ensure a perfect bite and natural look.
