Dental Crowns can be necessary to restore teeth that are damaged by decay or cracked.  They can also be considered a cosmetic option to change to shape or appearance of your teeth.

Dental Crowns can be made of various materials, which the dentists at Elite Dental will recommend for each situation.  A crown is a permanent covering that fits over your remaining tooth structure.  Our doctors use the finest local Chicago dental laboratories to artistically construct each crown to suit the patient.

A crown restoration normally requires 2 visits.  The first to remove any decay, build up the tooth, and take an impression, which is then sent to the dental laboratory.  The following visit, about 2 weeks later, will be to permanently cement the crown in place.

With proper dental hygiene and care a crown can last decades, or even a lifetime.
