Dental Crowns
Tooth damage and decay can lead to negative cosmetic and physical effects. Left untreated, you may even need an extraction.
Dr. Mohamed Saccoh can repair tooth damage with natural-looking dental crowns, enhancing both the appearance and health of your smile.
What can you expect during the dental crowns procedure at our Joppa, MD, practice?
Show Me How the Procedure Works...
Dental crowns are essentially custom-made caps that are fixed directly on the surface of damaged teeth. Made from stain-resistant porcelain ceramic, crowns can last a decade or longer with proper care and oral hygiene.
Crowns Can Fix Several Dental Problems
Dr. Saccoh may recommend a porcelain dental crown to patients in the Bel Air, MD, region for several reasons:
Significant breakage or trauma will weaken a tooth, increasing the likelihood of future damage and the need for extraction. Porcelain crowns hold a broken tooth together to save the natural structure.
Sometimes a filling is not enough to support the tooth's structure if you have sustained a large cavity. Our dentist can replace or support a large filling with a more durable dental crown for comprehensive protection.
When harmful decay spreads and reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, we will recommend a root canal to eliminate bacterial infection. Afterward, the tooth is capped with a dental crown to protect it from further damage.
A dental crown is sometimes the most effective type of dentistry to conceal cosmetic issues like visible cracks and deep-rooted discoloration.
If you have a missing tooth, our dentist can use porcelain crowns to secure a bridge or pair a crown with a dental implant to fill the gap in your smile.

I absolutely love how friendly and professional everybody is at FCI dental. Dr. Mohamed is an amazing dentist, so friendly and funny and he knows what he is doing. I would highly recommend anyone to him. This is the best dentist I have ever been too! I have a fear of going to the dentist and get bad anxiety and everyone was very kind, understanding and patient and made me feel so comfortable.

I have to say I was in bad shape when I first got to them and embarrased of my teeth but they made me feel so good and they didn't look down on me or judge me. And the teeth they fixed are so beautiful and I had absolutely no pain. They are really 10 stars and I recommend everyone to come here... I have been to a lot of different dentists and hands down the best experience I ever had. Now I can be healthy again with my beautiful teeth.

How Do I Know If I Need a Dental Crown?
While some dental problems are obvious, such as a missing tooth, other times, damage and decay will not present any noticeable symptoms. It is best to attend regular checkups with our dentist so we can spot and treat issues early on.
The Crown Procedure Timeline
Your beautifully customized crown will be created in about an hour while you relax in comfort. This way, there's no need for a temporary crown.
Crowns Support Dental Bridges
Crowns can also be placed over “anchor teeth” to effectively hold a dental bridge in place. Bridges not only restore the appearance of your teeth but improve your dental function, allowing you to chew properly and speak clearly. Meanwhile, the restorations balance your bite and prevent other teeth from shifting out of place, helping you avoid costly dental procedures in the future.
