Restore Your Teeth
Porcelain and Metal Crowns
Crowns are restorations used to improve your tooth’s shape or to strengthen a tooth. In Elmhurst, crowns from Guzaitis Dental Group reflect amazing dental engineering skills. The doctors at Guzaitis Dental Group have close ties with our dental labs. They have a commitment to ideal function and artistry to restore your teeth with vigor and a youthful appearance.
Enhanced Cosmetics – Improved Function
Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or have portions destroyed by tooth decay. Crowns are “caps” cemented onto an existing tooth, which fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line. The crown becomes your tooth’s new outer surface. Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, or both. Porcelain crowns are most often preferred on the front teeth because they mimic the translucency of natural teeth and are very strong. Crowns can be a single restoration or part of a full-mouth rehabilitation.
Crowns are often preferred by prosthodontist Dr. Guzaitis, rather than silver amalgam fillings. Unlike fillings which apply metal directly into your mouth, a crown is fabricated outside of your mouth and in a lab. Your crown is created from a unique tooth impression which allows a dental laboratory technician to examine all aspects of your bite and jaw movements. Your crown is then sculpted just for you so that your bite and jaw movements function normally when the crown is placed.
