What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that completely cover a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. Think of a crown as a protective helmet for your tooth—it restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while providing long-lasting protection. At our Chicago dental practice, Dr. Clark specializes in creating digitally designed crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
What Dental Issues Can Crowns Correct?
There are many dental issues that dental crowns can fix:
- Severely Damaged Teeth: Restore teeth with extensive decay, large fillings, or fractures that compromise structural integrity.
- Discolored Teeth: Cover teeth with severe staining or discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments.
- Misshapen Teeth: Correct irregularly shaped teeth to create a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Root Canal Treatment: Protect and strengthen teeth after root canal therapy, preventing future fractures.
- Bridge Support: Anchor dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your complete smile.
- Size Irregularities: Resize teeth that are too small or worn down to restore proper proportions and function.

Proper care ensures your porcelain or ceramic crowns last 15 to 25 years or more. Dr. Clark provides comprehensive dental crown aftercare guidance to maximize your investment and maintain optimal oral health.
