Let’s find out if dental crowns could be exactly what you need to turn your oral health around.

Are you dealing with a weak, damaged tooth? Hate that the only thing you notice about your smile is a severely misshapen or discolored tooth? Do you wish there was a way to protect a tooth from further damage all while improving its overall appearance? If so, you’ve come to the right place because this is a job for our Lincoln Park, Chicago dentists - Dr. Allen Momongan, Dr. Matthew Flak and Dr. Kara Kung.

Our Lincoln Park general dentists may recommend getting a dental crown if:

• You are dealing with a weak, fractured or damaged tooth
• You have a tooth that is terribly malformed, uneven or discolored
• You need to support a dental crown
• You need to replace a missing tooth via a dental implant

As you can see, a dental crown is pretty versatile and can be used for a variety of different treatment options. When you come in for a consultation, we will discuss your overall treatment goals for either cosmetic or restorative dentistry to determine if dental crowns are the right treatment for you.

Placing Your Dental Crown

Once we determine that a crown is what you need, the next step is to always take an impression of the tooth using a moldable resin. We will make this mold, which will then be sent off to a lab to create your very own crown. These molds ensure that you get a crown that offers the very best fit possible.

While this permanent crown is being made, we will place a temporary crown over your tooth to protect it. Once your crown has been sent back to us we will check the fit of the restoration and make sure it doesn’t impact your bite before cementing it into place to restore your tooth and enhance your smile.

The Dental Practice of Lincoln Park is ready to provide you with the ultimate dental care you need, whether you just need a professional dental cleaning or you need a full restorative makeover. We offer it all in one convenient location right here in the Second City.
