At Nova Dental Care in Mundelein, IL, we use custom porcelain and ceramic crowns to restore teeth that are damaged, worn, or weakened — helping you regain both function and a natural-looking smile. A dental crown (or “cap”) covers the visible portion of a tooth, protecting it from further damage while improving its strength, shape, and appearance.
A dental crown is a strong, custom-made restoration that fits securely over a tooth to restore its shape, stability, and appearance. Each crown is color-matched to your natural teeth for a seamless result that looks and feels just like your own enamel.
You may need a dental crown if you have:
Rather than removing the tooth, a crown reinforces it — preserving your natural smile for years to come.
A crown typically requires two visits:
It’s normal to experience mild sensitivity or gum tenderness for a few days after your crown appointment.
To stay comfortable:
Most patients feel completely comfortable within a week or two.
Without treatment, a cracked or weakened tooth can continue to deteriorate and eventually require extraction. A crown strengthens and protects your tooth, restoring full function for chewing and speaking while preventing uneven wear on surrounding teeth.
Crowns also help maintain proper bite alignment and overall oral health.
If you have a damaged, worn, or weakened tooth, a dental crown can restore your smile and protect your long-term oral health.

Our cosmetic dental treatments are designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its
strength, shape, and appearance. You may need a crown if you have a large cavity, a cracked tooth, a
worn-down filling, or a tooth that’s been treated with a root canal. At Nova Dental Care in Mundelein, we
design crowns that blend perfectly with your natural teeth, so your smile looks and feels great.
Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or metal, depending on your needs and budget.
We often recommend tooth-colored porcelain or zirconia crowns because they’re durable and provide a
natural, seamless look. During your visit, our dentist will help you choose the best option for your smile.
Getting a crown usually takes two visits. During your first visit, we’ll prepare the tooth, take digital
impressions, and place a temporary crown. Your permanent crown is custom-made at a dental lab and
placed at your second visit, typically within two weeks. We’ll make sure the fit and color are perfect
before cementing it in place.
Not at all. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you completely comfortable. You
may feel mild sensitivity afterward, but it usually goes away within a few days. Our team at Nova Dental
Care is dedicated to making every appointment relaxing and pain-free.
With proper care, crowns can last 10 to 15 years or longer. The key is maintaining good brushing and flossing habits, visiting us for regular cleanings, and avoiding habits like chewing ice or biting your nails.
If your crown ever feels loose or uncomfortable, call us right away so we can check it.
Because we combine modern technology with personalized care. Our crowns are designed for strength, comfort, and beauty — and we take time to make sure you love your results. Patients from Mundelein,
Libertyville, and Vernon Hills trust us because we treat every smile as if it were our own.
Our philosophy for dentistry is simple and straightforward. We aim to provide care that is in your best interest. This means we are transparent and non judgemental, kind and empathetic. We have multiple specialists in house as we feel that this is the best way to provide comprehensive care to our patients.
Our office is relaxing and spa-like because let’s face it, no one loves going to the dentist. We’re trying to change that by providing a soothing environment for oral care.
