Restore Your Smile With CEREC Crowns & Bridges in Elmhurst, IL

Damaged or missing teeth can affect more than your appearance. They can make eating uncomfortable, change your bite, and cause neighboring teeth to shift. Custom crowns and bridges restore strength, function, and confidence while maintaining a natural-looking smile.

What is a dental crown?

A custom cap that protects a weakened or damaged tooth.

A dental crown covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its strength and shape. A crown may be recommended to:

  • Repair a cracked, broken, or severely worn tooth
  • Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment
  • Restore a tooth with a large filling or significant decay
  • Improve the shape, color, or appearance of a tooth
  • Complete a dental implant
What is a dental bridge?

A natural-looking way to close the gap.

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using a restoration supported by neighboring teeth or dental implants. Bridges can help restore your ability to chew, improve your speech, maintain your facial structure, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.

Damaged or missing teeth affect more than appearance, they can make eating uncomfortable, change your bite, and cause neighboring teeth to drift out of position.

The CEREC difference

Designed, milled, and placed in our Elmhurst office.

CEREC uses advanced digital scanning and in-office design technology to create precise, natural-looking ceramic restorations. In many cases, your crown can be designed, created, and placed during a single appointment.

Instead of uncomfortable traditional impression material, we capture a detailed digital scan of your teeth. Your restoration is then designed to match your bite and surrounding teeth before being crafted from durable, tooth-colored ceramic.

How CEREC can help you

Fewer visits, better comfort, and a restoration built to last.

Fewer appointments

Many restorations can be completed in one visit.

No temporary crown

When same-day treatment is appropriate, you can avoid wearing a temporary restoration.

Comfortable digital impressions

Detailed scans replace messy impression trays in many cases.

Precise, customized fit

Digital technology helps us design a restoration that complements your bite.

Natural appearance

High-quality ceramic is carefully selected to blend with your surrounding teeth.

Durable results

CEREC restorations are made to handle the demands of everyday biting and chewing.

Less disruption

Complete your treatment with less time away from work, family, and daily responsibilities.

A faster path to a stronger smile

Every smile is different. After evaluating your tooth, bite, and overall oral health, we will determine whether a same-day CEREC restoration is the right choice for you. More complex crowns and bridges may require additional planning or laboratory fabrication to deliver the best possible result.
