Dental Crowns in Morton Grove
Natural-Looking Porcelain & Zirconia Crowns
Custom Dental Crowns for a Natural-Looking Smile
A dental crown, also called a tooth crown, is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged, weakened, or severely decayed tooth. A crown can restore the tooth’s shape, strength, appearance, and chewing function. At ProCare Family Dental in Morton Grove, we use natural-looking porcelain and zirconia materials to create crowns designed to blend comfortably with your smile.
Meet Our Crown Dentists
- Dr. Penelope Danos has a special interest in custom dental crowns and cosmetic restorations, with an emphasis on natural-looking results that blend with the surrounding teeth.
- Dr. Antonio Ganios provides restorative dental care, including crowns for damaged, weakened, root-canal-treated, and implant-supported teeth.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
The best crown material depends on the tooth’s location, your bite, your cosmetic goals, and the amount of remaining tooth structure. During your consultation, we will explain the options and recommend the material that best fits your needs.
- Porcelain crowns – designed to match the color and translucency of natural teeth closely and often selected for highly visible areas.
- Zirconia crowns – known for strength, durability, and resistance to wear, making them an excellent option for many back teeth.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns – combine a strong metal substructure with a tooth-colored porcelain exterior.
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
- A severely cracked, worn, or broken tooth. If the tooth is painful or has been recently damaged, visit our Emergency Dentist page for prompt evaluation.
- A tooth weakened by a large cavity or large existing filling.
- A tooth treated with a root canal that needs additional structural protection.
- A tooth being used to support a dental bridge.
- Restoration of a dental implant.
- A worn, misshapen, discolored, or cosmetically compromised tooth when a crown is clinically appropriate.
What to Expect When Getting a Dental Crown
Treatment begins with an examination of the tooth, surrounding tissues, and your bite. Our dentists evaluate the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining and determine whether a crown is the most appropriate way to restore and protect the tooth.
The tooth is carefully prepared so the crown can fit securely and comfortably. An impression or digital scan is then used to create a custom restoration designed to match the shape, size, and color of the surrounding teeth.
When the final crown is ready, we check its fit, appearance, and bite before securely placing it. Our goal is to restore comfortable chewing function while creating a crown that looks natural in your smile.
Broken, Loose, or Old Dental Crowns
Dental crowns can loosen, chip, fracture, wear, or become less attractive over time. If an existing crown feels loose, breaks, falls off, or no longer fits properly, our Morton Grove dentists can evaluate the tooth and determine whether the crown can be repaired or should be replaced.
If a crown comes off or the tooth becomes painful or sensitive, contact ProCare Family Dental promptly so the underlying tooth can be examined and protected.
Capabilities of Porcelain & Zirconia Crowns
Porcelain and zirconia crowns can restore teeth that have been weakened by decay, fracture, large fillings, or wear. These materials can provide excellent strength while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
Crowns can also improve the shape and function of damaged teeth, protect vulnerable tooth structure, and restore a more balanced and comfortable bite.
