How Receiving a Dental Crown Can Improve Your Smile

by  • 

If you are looking for a dental restoration that can improve your smile, you may find that a dental crown is just right for a tooth that is damaged or discolored. The design of dental crowns can enable them to last decades and may repair significant dental damage for greater strength and dental support.

Our dental team is happy to provide further information on what you can expect from a dental crown and why it might be needed. One of the main uses of dental crowns is to provide protection and a more aesthetic appearance for a compromised tooth by completely covering the visible portion above the gum line.

Our dentist may recommend dental crowns for patients of all ages, even children–who typically experience a greater risk of tooth decay due to high sugar diets. You can also receive a dental crown to support a dental filling that doesn’t have enough tooth enamel to keep it secure, as the dental crown can bond the filling and tooth together for several years. Other uses of dental crowns are to complete the functions of additional dental restorations such as root canal treatment and dental bridges and implants.

We invite you to contact us at 804-781-1919 today if you would like to receive a dental crown in Mechanicsville, Virginia, and are interested in discussing your options with Drs. Paul and Brant Stranovick.

Keeping Ahead of COVID-19

Providing a safe environment for treatment and control for infectious disease is always a priority at Paul Stanovick DDS. Our expansive reception area and large outdoor deck provides space to easily support regulations surrounding social distancing. The treatment rooms provide an extra layer of protection as they are sanitized between each patient and provide clean air through air purifiers located in each room. You will see some changes during your next appointment as we have added precautions to protect patients and staff. You will be asked to enter the building with use of facial protection and asked to wear it until you are in the treatment room. Hand sanitizer is also available throughout the whole building for your use. You may notice that our magazine and children’s books have been removed from the reception area as they are harder to disinfect. We have installed plexiglass around our front reception area for added distancing between front staff and patients waiting for appointments. Air purifiers have been placed in every operatory with two larger purifiers in the front and back of the office. We have provided face shields, lab jackets and barrier gowns for all clinical staff. Our hours of operation will still remain Monday -Friday 8am-5pm. We are looking forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about treatment and the safety precautions we are taking here at the practice. If you would like to make an appointment you can give us a call or text 804.781.1919. Thank you for your patience during these changing times and for your trust in us with taking care of your dental needs. Sincerely, Dr. Paul Stanovick, Dr. Brant Stanovick, and Staff.
