Eat the Foods You Love With Dental Crowns & Bridges in Crown Point

Because we place many dental crowns and bridges in Crown Point, our team is committed to giving you the best restorations possible. That's why we use high-quality zirconia for your replacement teeth—a material known for its strength, safety, and natural appearance. Zirconia crowns and bridges last for decades with proper care, are biocompatible to reduce the risk of allergic reactions, and require minimal preparation, so you can preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Unlike porcelain fused to metal, zirconia won't leave a dark line along your gumline, and its enamel-like translucence ensures your restoration looks beautifully natural. Schedule an appointment and experience the lasting benefits of zirconia restorations. Your restorative dentistry consultation is free, and if you don't have insurance, our Membership Plan offers discounts on many restorative services to make your care more affordable.

Rebuild Strength & Function With Lasting Restorations

We place many restorations because they do an exceptional job of repairing damaged teeth and restoring full function to your bite.

With the right treatment, your teeth will look beautiful again, and you'll be able to eat all your favorite foods without worry.

Our restorative options include:

  • Dental crowns - Repair broken, cracked, or severely decayed teeth that need more than a filling. Crowns are also placed after root canal therapy for added protection.

  • Inlays and onlays - Partial crowns that restore specific sections of a tooth.

  • Dental bridges - Replace one or more missing teeth in a row using fused crowns for a seamless look.

Restore Comfort With Gentle, Personalized Care

For added durability and stability, both crowns and bridges can be secured to dental implants, giving you replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like the real thing.

Your comfort is always our priority, so we use air abrasion instead of traditional drilling to remove decay, minimizing noise and discomfort.

We also provide local anesthetic for pain-free treatment and offer cozy blankets and pillows to help you relax during your visit.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns and Bridges

What can dental crowns and bridges be used for?

Dental crowns and bridges give us a range of options for restoring and replacing damaged and missing teeth. A dental crown can be used either alone to cap a damaged tooth or with a dental implant to restore a missing tooth. Two or more crowns are bonded together to build a strong bridge that will replace several missing teeth.

How much do dental crowns and bridges cost?

It is impossible to provide you with any accurate quote on your crowns or bridges without seeing you in our office, performing an exam, and taking a set of X-rays. After we have had the chance to assess your circumstances and speak to you about your smile goals, we'll happily give you a quote on your treatment so you can choose what's best for you.

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

The length of life you can expect from your brand-new crown or bridge can differ. The position of the restoration will make a difference, as will the material your crown or bridge is made from. Your food and oral care regimen will also contribute. In general, most patients will get at least five to seven years out of our crowns or bridges before needing a replacement.

How do I know if I need a crown instead of a filling? 

A crown is often recommended when a tooth has lost too much structure for a filling to support it reliably. Large cavities, cracks, very large existing fillings, and root canal treatment are common reasons.

What is the difference between a bridge and a dental implant? 

A traditional bridge uses neighboring teeth for support. An implant replaces the missing tooth root and supports its own restoration. The health of the surrounding teeth, gums, and bone helps determine which option makes more sense.

Can a bridge replace several missing teeth? 

Yes. A bridge can replace multiple teeth in a row when there is adequate support on either side or from dental implants. The length of the space helps determine which replacement option will be most stable.

Will a crown look like my natural tooth? 

Modern restorative materials can closely match the color, shape, and translucency of natural enamel. The crown is designed to fit alongside the neighboring teeth rather than stand out as a separate restoration.

Can a crowned tooth still get a cavity? 

Yes. The crown can't decay, but the natural tooth underneath still can. Cavities sometimes develop where the crown meets the tooth, making daily brushing and flossing around the edge important.
