Strengthen, Protect, and Restore Your Natural Teeth
At Maryland Holistic Dentistry, we offer high-quality dental crowns that restore both function and aesthetics to damaged or weakened teeth. Our biologically focused approach ensures that every crown supports your oral health and overall well-being — using biocompatible, metal-free materials designed to last.
Whether you need to repair a fractured tooth, protect one after a root canal, or improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth, our holistic dental crowns provide a natural, long-lasting solution tailored specifically to you.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits securely over a tooth to restore its original shape, size, and strength. It serves both functional and cosmetic purposes, protecting the underlying tooth from further damage while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
Crowns may be recommended for:
- Teeth weakened by decay or large fillings
- Broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Restoration following root canal treatment
- Cosmetic enhancement for misshapen or discolored teeth
- Replacement of old metal restorations with biocompatible alternatives
At Maryland Holistic Dentistry, every crown is carefully designed to ensure harmony with your bite, jaw alignment, and overall oral health.
Our Holistic Approach to Restorative Dentistry
We believe restorative dentistry should heal — not just repair. Our holistic philosophy ensures that every treatment promotes balance throughout the body and uses safe, non-toxic materials that integrate naturally with your biology.
Our dental crowns are:
- Mercury-free and BPA-free — avoiding harmful metals and toxins
- Crafted from durable ceramics or porcelain for strength and aesthetics
- Individually designed using digital technology for precision and comfort
- Biocompatible to reduce inflammation and allergic reactions
We incorporate advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive methods to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.

The Dental Crown Process
Our advanced digital workflow ensures your crown treatment is efficient, comfortable, and personalized.
- Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a detailed exam and digital imaging to assess your tooth’s condition and determine the best type of crown. - Tooth Preparation
The damaged tooth is carefully shaped to accommodate the crown, preserving maximum healthy enamel. - Digital Impression Scanning
Using digital impression scanners, we capture an accurate 3D model of your teeth — no messy molds required. - Custom Design & Fabrication
Your crown is designed using computer-assisted technology to match your natural color, shape, and bite. - Placement & Bonding
Once your custom restoration is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth for a seamless fit. - Final Adjustments
We fine-tune your bite and polish your crown to ensure lasting comfort and function.
This approach ensures precision, longevity, and beautiful results that align perfectly with your smile.
