Dental Crowns by Barrington Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Thomas Jackson, DDS - Dental Implants, Implant Dentists in Barrington, Elgin, Buffalo Grove, Schaumburg, Chicago, Illinois (IL)

Crowns

Today’s dental crowns produce a more natural look... because The Chicago Center for Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers all-ceramic, non-metal crowns. The unsightly dark gum line once associated with crowns is a thing of the past, with Dr. Jackson’s crowns better mimicking the appearance of your natural teeth.

Crowns can be an excellent choice for people who would benefit from straightening a tooth or restoring a tooth to its original shape.

They can also be used to strengthen weaker teeth, as they fully cover the tooth. Crowns provide this important function, as an outer shell that serves to safeguard the actual tooth against further wear and tear.

Developments in technology and technique have made crowns a more practical - and comfortable - option for many patients interested in smile design and better health. You can meet with Dr. Jackson to discuss crowns and learn about this procedure, as well as other options available to you.

Cosmetic Crowns: Beauty and Protection

Because the crown covers the entire tooth – front and back and starts at the gum line, it can provide excellent tooth restoration and enhance most any smile that is plagued with broken teeth, or teeth of varying sizes, teeth that are worn excessively or have had large portions destroyed by tooth decay.

Once you and Dr. Jackson determine the best dental treatment plan, impressions will be taken if crowns are going to be used. While the actual crown is made from this impression, a temporary crown is put on your tooth or teeth during that initial visit, allowing you to get right back to your day-to-day life with a more visually-appealing smile, concealing and protecting damaged, cracked or broken teeth in a single appointment.

This temporary crown will be made to match your existing teeth as closely as possible, with plastic that is colored the shade that most closely matches your natural tooth color. The same holds true for the permanent crown, as Dr. Jackson relies on a shade guide to match the teeth that immediately surround the crown, making it practically unnoticeable.

Placement of the permanent crown is an easy, painless process. Dr. Jackson will cement the new crown in place after he works to make sure it fits, making any necessary adjustments to the crown. Once the crown is fitting perfectly, Dr. Jackson will "seat" the crown on your tooth. The cement he uses to do this hardens very quickly and your crown is complete.
