What Are the Uses of Dental Crowns?
These versatile dental restorations offer a diverse range of applications in dentistry:
- If you have a tooth that has chipped, cracked, or suffered another form of damage, a crown can reinforce its structure and bring balance back to your bite.
- For some patients, crowns are used as a cosmetic treatment to enhance the appearance of worn or discolored teeth.
- In addition, crowns are also frequently used as the final phase of root canal therapy.
- If you will be receiving a traditional dental bridge, this type of restoration will typically be secured in place by dental crowns on each end.
- A crown can be secured to an implant to replace a missing tooth

Types of Crowns
We Can Provide in the Harrisonburg, VA, Area
Traditional Dental Crown
A traditional dental crown is a prosthetic tooth that caps a tooth after decayed or damaged structure has been removed.
The crown, typically made from dental-grade porcelain, protects the tooth and allows it to function properly without pain or discomfort.
Implant-Supported Crown
If you have a missing tooth or need a tooth extraction, a dental implant can replace the tooth roots in your jaw, prevent your jawbone from atrophying, and provide a firm foundation for a crown. The crown then functions like a natural tooth. This restorative dentistry procedure is a good option for patients who are missing a single tooth.

Are Patients Who Choose Dental Crowns
Happy with Their Results?
Before — Kate needed four extractions, eight fillings, and one root canal. Gingivectomies and core buildups were performed on the six upper front teeth.
After — We capped her six front upper teeth with ceramic crowns. Finally, we used implant-supported crowns to replace the four missing back teeth.
Kate’s Testimonial:
“It’s amazing how different a great smile makes you feel. The doctors and Care Team at Smiles for Life have changed my life. I feel much more confident and smile a lot more. Customers have seen my picture in the paper and have come up to me at work to comment on the change. Members of my family were so happy they were almost in tears and I feel so blessed to have been chosen for this. I have always been afraid of the dentist, which is part of the reason my mouth was in the shape it was in. Not anymore!”

So glad I chose Smiles for Life in Bridgewater to care for my dental needs. After a long hiatus from visiting the dentist, they welcomed me and made me feel comfortable during every step of my examination. The staff was friendly, courteous and very professional. Morgan Maggie, the dental hygienists, was very skilled in performing a deep cleaning without causing any pain or discomfort Although I have more visits to come, I have been throughly impressed with the care that I have received and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dental team.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Geo Balderas was exceptionally kind to me. His professionalism raises the bar of dentistry in our region. I highly recommend Dr. Geo if you are timid or resolute when it comes to dental work. He put me at ease! Morgan Maggio is a phenomenal registered hygienist. Her care for me was professional, polite, and educational. She is flat out cool and that’s important to me. She gives off good energy and vibes. That’s big for me since I fear the dentist office lol!Posted on Google![]()
