What Is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a versatile, reliable restoration solution for many patients with smile flaws or damage. These restorations are crafted to fit completely over the top of the damaged tooth to restore its function and protect it from damage. We offer crowns crafted from a variety of materials including metal, porcelain fused to metal, and all-ceramic restorations. By far the most popular solution would be natural looking all-ceramic crowns that can help a patient maintain a beautiful smile. These restorations blend seamlessly into the natural grin and are safe and effective even for those patients with severe allergies to metal.
The Dental Crown Process
These restorations are placed through a specialized treatment process that typically requires at least two appointments. During the initial visit, the tooth will be reshaped to remove compromised enamel and allow the crown to fit properly. We will also capture impressions of the bite that will be used by our lab to create the customized restoration, and a temporary will be placed to protect the prepared tooth. Once we receive the final crown, inlay, or onlay from our lab, patients return to exchange the temporary device for their beautiful customized restoration.

- Protecting compromised teeth from damage.
- Preventing the need for extraction.
- Addressing several oral health problems with one treatment.
- Customized appearance that makes crowns indistinguishable from natural dental structure.
- With excellent care that includes proper oral hygiene, mindful chewing habits, and regular checkups at our Lisle office, dental crowns can last for fifteen years or more.
