Today, new technology has advanced the science of crown and bridge to offer solutions that remedy dental problems safely and restore a full, attractive smile. Porcelain crowns and bridges are durable, long-lasting, custom-made restorations that look like natural teeth and can improve your smile by:

  • replacing missing teeth,
  • filling gaps and spaces between your teeth,
  • whitening severely discolored teeth
  • and repairing small cracks and chips in your teeth


Preserve Damaged Teeth with Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a dental restoration that covers and protects a damaged tooth or a tooth too weak to support a filling. The general dentists at all four Grove Dental Locations -- Wheaton, Downers Grove, Lombard and Bolingbrook -- have years of experience and training in the art and science of crown and bridge restorations.

Your dentist may recommend a crown to:

  • Replace a large filling when there isn't adequate tooth structure remaining
  • Restore a fractured tooth
  • Cover a dental implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function
  • Serve as an anchor as part of dental bridge to replace missing teeth
  • Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
  • Restore a tooth that has had root canal treatment


Bridge the Gap with Dental Bridges
Fewer dental issues have greater impact on the functionality and appearance of your smile than tooth loss. When one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can shift out of position, which can lead to a change in your bite, and increase the risk for decay, gum disease and speech problems.

Dental bridges are often recommended to replace one or more missing teeth that have become too deteriorated for further treatment with traditional fillings or crowns. A dental bridge spans the space of one or more missing teeth and is anchored by crowns. Bridges provide a natural appearance and reduce the risk of bite complications.

Whether you have one or more missing teeth, or your existing teeth are severely damaged, rest assured that Grove Dental can restore your smile with the latest in dental technology and treatment.
