Discover How a Crown or Bridge Works

If you have damaged teeth or teeth that are in poor health, we may recommend a crown or bridge to repair them. To make these restorations, we'll take digital impressions with a scanner. You won't have to deal with the goopy mess of traditional impressions. We'll send this information to our lab partner, who will custom-craft your new restoration.

A crown is a cap for a tooth or dental implant. A bridge replaces missing teeth. It is supported by crowns on either end that anchor to your other teeth or to implants, with one or more artificial teeth in the middle. Here are some ways we use crowns and bridges for restoring smiles:

Single Crown for Tooth Repair - We'll cover your damaged tooth with a crown to strengthen it and prevent further problems.
Fixed Dental Bridge - This type of bridge attaches with crowns to your other teeth. It fills in the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
Implant-Supported Crown - After an implant is placed where your tooth is missing, we'll cap the implant with a crown to restore your tooth.
Implant-Supported Bridge - Your new bridge will anchor to two or more dental implants with artificial teeth in the middle. Unlike traditional bridges, an implant bridge will keep you from suffering bone loss in your jaw. It also avoids the need to reshape healthy teeth.

Very nice office! It was easy to make an appointment. It was for my 7 year old grandaughter. We got there a bit early (by 15 min or so) and was taken in early! Very nice hydgienist took great care of my grandaughter. She made her feel super comfortable (the child is usually very squirmy) but she was perfectly still even for the x-rays! Dr. Kurkiak was also very nice and great with the little one! Quickly found common ground with 7 year old. Everything went smoothly!

We had such a wonderful experience at this dental office! From the very beginning, the scheduling process was easy, organized, and welcoming. The entire staff creates such a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that immediately made us feel comfortable. I especially appreciated how patient and kind they were with my kiddos during their cleanings. The team made sure they felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time, which means so much as a parent. My husband and I also had very thorough exams, and the dentist took the time to explain everything clearly and create a game plan for our next steps instead of making us feel rushed. You can truly tell they care about their patients and want the best for your family’s dental health. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and trustworthy dental office!

I haven’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. Due to the fear of pain, and my gagging reflex is horrible! I came here to see Dr.Nikol. She and her wonderful staff made me feel really comfortable! If I was having a problem they would step back and let me get my bearings back and my thoughts outta my head! And April the support pup will also help you relax. She does a great job! I’ll tell you what, I won’t be afraid to come back here in the future! Oh and my bad gagging didn’t happen! Woohoo! See you next time Greenwood Dental thank you for an amazing experience!!

What a wonderful experience and an amazingly clean and modern facility. I dread going to the dentist, but this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. My husband and I recently moved to the area and we really lucked out by having found Greenwood Dental. Dr. Nikol was very thorough and detailed about the condition my teeth were in and what the game plan was moving forward. Happy to have found such a great dentist in the area!

Common Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges

How do I know if I need a dental crown or bridge?

If you have a damaged, heavily filled, or missing tooth, your dentist may recommend a crown or bridge to restore strength, function, and appearance. Our team will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and bite, then review digital images with you. With a crown or bridge, you can comfortably eat and smile.

What is the process for getting a crown or bridge?

We start with a thorough exam and discuss your goals. Then your dentist comfortably reshapes the tooth, takes digital impressions, and places a temporary restoration if needed. Our trusted lab custom-crafts your crown or bridge, and we bond it securely to your tooth at your follow-up visit.

Are crowns and bridges painful to get?

Your dentist will thoroughly numb the area and check in with you throughout treatment. Most patients feel only mild pressure. Afterward, any soreness is usually minimal and short-lived. Our team is always here to adjust your bite or answer concerns. We prioritize your comfort at every step.

How long will my new crown or bridge last?

With good home care and regular checkups, many crowns and bridges last 10 years or longer. If you opt for gold crowns, they can last even longer. Our team uses high-quality materials and precise digital impressions for an excellent fit. We'll show you how to protect your restoration so you can enjoy long-lasting function and a confident smile.

What are the benefits of getting my crown or bridge here?

At our Waukegan office, you'll enjoy extended hours, gentle care, and digital impressions instead of messy trays. Your dentist partners with a trusted lab for beautiful results. Our caring team, welcoming atmosphere, and therapy dog help ease anxiety and make visits more relaxing.

Does your Membership Club help me save on crowns and bridges?

Our Membership Club includes biannual cleanings and exams for a low monthly fee and 15 percent savings on additional services, including crowns and bridges. Our team will review your options and explain costs upfront. We'll help you choose the most budget-friendly way to restore your smile.

What’s the difference between a traditional bridge and an implant-supported bridge?

A traditional bridge uses crowns on neighboring teeth for support. An implant-supported bridge attaches to dental implants placed in your jaw. Your dentist will explain which option best protects your oral health and bone structure. You can confidently choose the solution that fits your needs.

How should I care for my crown or bridge at home?

Caring for a crown or bridge is similar to caring for real teeth. You'll brush gently twice a day and floss around and under your restoration. If you grind your teeth while sleeping, we may recommend wearing a custom night guard. Regular visits with our team help keep everything healthy and comfortable in the long term.
