Restorative Dentistry
Crowns and Bridges at Denova Dental
Long-term protection for damaged or missing teeth in Lombard, IL. Done with care and done right.
What we do
Protecting teeth for the long run.
A crown is a full-coverage restoration placed over a tooth that a filling can no longer hold. It protects the tooth from fracture, restores its shape and bite, and is meant to last. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth with a fixed restoration anchored to the teeth on either side.
We take this work seriously. If an impression isn't right, we retake it. We won't deliver a crown with an open margin or a poor fit just to close out a case. The goal is a restoration that holds up and doesn't cause you problems down the road.
We'll discuss what's involved, how long the process takes, and what to expect at each appointment before we start. Nothing moves forward without your understanding and agreement.
What to expect
How crown and bridge treatment works.
-
Exam and treatment planning.
We evaluate the tooth or the gap and talk through your options, including whether a crown or bridge is the right approach for your specific situation.
-
Preparation and impression.
The tooth is shaped to receive the crown, and a precise impression is taken. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the final restoration is made. If the impression isn't right, we retake it.
-
Final placement.
The finished crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite, and comfort before it's cemented. We don't rush this step.
-
Aftercare.
Brief guidance on caring for your restoration, what to watch for, and when to follow up if something doesn't feel right.
