Experience the Durability of Gold Crowns in Waukegan

Gold crowns are custom-made caps that fit over damaged or weakened teeth. They are crafted from a gold alloy and bonded in place to restore a tooth's shape, strength, and function. Gold has been used in dentistry for over a century because of its durability and precision fit. We can place a gold crown in Waukegan that will:
  • Restore your full bite so you can chew with confidence again
  • Allow you to care for your smile without needing extra steps
  • Last longer than most other restorations
  • Withstand strong chewing power
  • Give you confidence knowing your tooth is fully restored and protected
  • Boost your dental health and overall well-being for the long term

See How a Gold Crown Restores Your Tooth

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn't need to be removed, a gold crown gives it a second life. The benefits make it a trusted restoration:

  • Lasting Strength - Gold is one of the most durable materials used in dentistry. It holds up under repeated chewing pressure without cracking or wearing down quickly.
  • Conservative Tooth Preparation - Because gold can be shaped into thin, precise margins, your dentist can preserve more of your natural tooth when preparing it for a crown.
  • Gum-Friendly Material - Gold is highly biocompatible. This means the surrounding gum tissue accepts it well. Irritation and sensitivity reactions are uncommon with gold restorations.
  • Balanced Bite Wear - Gold wears at a rate similar to regular tooth enamel. This helps protect the nearby teeth and keep your bite balanced over time.
  • Proven Track Record - Gold crowns have a lengthy track record of success. Their longevity and reliability create a high benchmark for your restorative needs.

If you feel nervous in any way, sedation is available. You can also relax with our amenities, including our massaging chairs and calming music. You'll also appreciate our comfort dog, April!

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!

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!

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!
