Dental Crowns South Holland, IL

Oftentimes, when a single tooth becomes worn down or damaged, a high-quality crown can provide the protection and strength it needs. Sometimes called a cap, dental crowns are made custom to fit snugly over your tooth and match the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless look. At MINT dentistry, we offer dental crowns to treat large cavities, protect weak teeth, restore cracked teeth, and cover discolored teeth. Our team uses high-grade porcelain crowns so your result looks natural. MINT dentistry patients have the most gorgeous smiles in South Holland, IL. Contact us to schedule an appointment at our state-of-the-art dental center to get more information about how a dental crown can restore your oral health and keep your smile dazzling.

There are many situations where a dental crown might be warranted. Crowns may be needed to keep a tooth (weakened by decay) from breaking or to hold parts of a tooth together that have already cracked. Dental crowns may be recommended to repair a tooth that is broken or stained, cover a tooth that is oddly shaped, or cover root canal-treated teeth. Our South Holland, IL practitioners also place crowns to treat moderate dental cavities, serve as part of a bridge, and attach to dental implants for tooth replacement. At MINT dentistry, our crowns are made with high-quality porcelain and are secured using advanced technology to help ensure a beautiful result that lasts a long time.

During your treatment, you will be able to settle in and relax in our luxurious massaging treatment chairs, while our chic MINT sunglasses and Beats headphones help to put you at ease. First, the area needing treatment will be numbed with a local anesthetic. Other sedation options may be available if you experience any dental fears or anxieties. Once you are comfortable, your MINT dentist will prep the tooth by removing any damage and file it down so the custom crown fits seamlessly. Our team will then take digital impressions of the treatment area (or a dental implant post) so your crown can be custom-made. A temporary crown will be used to protect your tooth as the dental lab makes your custom crown. When your crown is ready, we will contact you to schedule a follow-up visit to have it placed. The crown will be cemented onto the tooth (or attached to a dental implant). Once the crown is set, we may adjust the fit for comfort.

Unless stronger sedation options were needed, after your crown is placed, you should be able to leave to go about your regular day. We will go over the best way to care for your dental crown, including any foods to avoid and the best way to keep it clean. After the placement of a crown, sometimes, a follow-up appointment may be scheduled for a bite adjustment to make sure the alignment is comfortable. During your oral health exam at MINT dentistry in South Holland, IL a skilled dental professional will assess your crown and adjust the fit as needed so it remains comfortable. We will let you know when the crown needs to be replaced, but with good care, a restoration should last for many years. If you have any concerns about your crown (for example, it becomes loose or falls out), contact our office right away. Do not attempt to fix it or put it back in since this can lead to a bad fit or infection.

A portion of the cost of your dental crowns may be covered for those using dental insurance. After speaking with your insurance, we can estimate your out-of-pocket expenses. During your consultation, our practitioners can help you select the best material for your crown that fits your goals and budget. A member of our staff will also discuss payment options, including the MINT discount plan, so you can more easily afford your treatment.
