We recommend dental crowns in certain cases such as tooth decay that can’t be treated with a filling, a cracked tooth that needs more support, worn-out teeth caused by teeth grinding, in support of a dental bridge, or to cover up a tooth implant.

Dental Crown Procedure
A dental crown is used after a dental implant or root canal procedure. These procedures can take one day to complete depending on the individual. The beginning steps of a dental crown procedure involves taking a digital x-ray, tooth reshaping, and temporary crown installation. During the final steps of the process your permanent crown will be installed. Your dentist will ensure the color of the dental crown matches your other tooth and fits in your mouth properly. Before the crown replacement, a local anesthetic is administered if the patient requires it. This medication is able to numb the area to relieve and discomfort. Finally, a special dental cement is used to keep the crown in place.
Dental Crown Aftercare

If your symptoms continue after a few weeks or are severe then we would recommend visiting our dental office in Glenview or Naperville to ensure there aren’t any other serious issues going on.
