Personalized, High-Quality Crowns—Crafted with Care

At Downtown Dental, we specialize in high-quality dental crowns in Chicago designed to restore strength, function, and aesthetics to your smile. Whether you have a chipped tooth, decay, or need to replace an old crown, our team provides customized care using advanced techniques and trusted materials. While some offices advertise same-day crowns, our process focuses on precision and longevity. At your first visit, we’ll prepare your tooth and place a custom temporary crown. Then, at your follow-up appointment, we’ll deliver and place your permanent, lab-crafted crown—ensuring optimal fit, appearance, and long-term performance.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown (sometimes called a tooth cap) is a protective covering that restores the shape, strength, and look of a damaged tooth. Crowns are commonly used for:
  • Cracked or fractured teeth
  • Deep decay or large fillings
  • Protecting a tooth after a root canal
  • Cosmetic improvement of misshapen or discolored teeth
We use tooth-colored porcelain crowns for a natural, seamless appearance that blends beautifully with your smile.

Our Two-Step Crown Process

Step 1: Consultation, Prep & Temporary Crown During your first visit, our experienced Chicago restorative dentist will examine your tooth, take digital impressions, and prepare the area. We’ll place a temporary crown to keep your tooth protected and comfortable while the final crown is custom-crafted by a trusted dental lab. Step 2: Permanent Crown Placement Within 1–2 weeks, you’ll return for your crown delivery appointment. We’ll ensure a perfect fit, make any adjustments needed, and bond your permanent crown securely in place—restoring your smile’s strength and appearance in one easy visit.
