Crowns & Bridges
Strong, natural-looking restorations that rebuild damaged teeth and replace missing ones.
Restoring strength, function, and appearance
A crown ("cap") covers a tooth that's been weakened by decay, a large filling, a root canal, or a fracture. It restores the tooth's shape, size, and strength while protecting it from further damage.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth (or teeth) to the neighboring natural teeth. Bridges restore your bite, keep surrounding teeth from drifting, and give you back a complete smile.
We use modern porcelain and zirconia materials that look and feel like your natural teeth. Call (708) 345-3440 for a consultation.
Veneers vs. Crowns
When a tooth needs more than cosmetic resurfacing — how to know whether a veneer or a crown is the right restoration.
Read the comparison guideIs cosmetic dentistry right for you?
- You feel self-conscious about the color, shape, or alignment of your teeth.
- You have chips, gaps, or worn-down edges that show when you smile.
- Old crowns, fillings, or bonding no longer match your other teeth.
- You'd like a single coordinated plan instead of one-off fixes.
