A crown, also known as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, thereby strengthening and improving its overall appearance.
A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. A crown can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.
There are three main types of dental crowns. Each designed for different applications. Metal gold crowns are particularly suitable for posterior teeth exposed to heavy chewing forces.
Porcelain or ceramic crowns, offer excellent aesthetic results and closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They blend seamlessly in with your smile.
Finally, Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns combine the strength of metal with the cosmetic appeal of porcelain. This type of crown is often recommended for load-bearing teeth that are visible when you smile.

Dr Hehn is very good at what he does! Crown preparation went smoothly and painlessly - the numbing shot was not unpleasant as they usually are, and the numbness even wore off in a few hours. I was well informed what to expect and all of my questions and concerns are well addressed by both him and the staff.
Julie did an exceptional job, and Dr. Hehn was very thorough, and considerate, in explaining everything. They both did a superb job on my temporary crowns.
Dr. Groen is a fantastic dentist. She has done several of my crowns. She explains what is going to be done and works seamlessly with her hygienist, Sydney, to get is done quickly and without pain. I always feel like I am in good hands.
Amazingly skillful and compassionate care. I worked as a Dental Equipment Repair Tech for 24 years and had most of the Northern Illinois Midwest Dental offices as my clients. Midwest Dental is a very good company. They all really care about their clients. Black Bridge Family Dental is, in my opinion, everything that every Midwest Dental office strives to be. They provided me with compassionate, PAIN FREE removal of 2 difficult, damaged crowns. My ongoing care will not only renew these two teeth but will also restore other problems that need their gentle care. With my past history I know just a little bit about Dental Practices and a quality office. After my experiences with the fine skillful staff at Black Bridge Family Dental they will provide all needed Dental care for both me and my wife from now on. They are that good. Jim Melka
