Restorative Dentistry That Prioritizes Patient Satisfaction, Convenience, and Comfort
Lakota Dental offers a wide variety of dental services for children and adults in the Yorkville, Illinois, area. When it comes to crowns and bridges, we recognize that our patients want long-lasting protection of their damaged teeth as well as natural-looking results, so they won’t ever hesitate to break into a wide smile! We also understand that time is precious, so we strive to make our services as convenient and efficient as possible without compromising on quality or sacrificing our friendly atmosphere.
In addition to offering traditional crowns and bridges, which involve fitting patients with temporary dental caps while permanent restorations are custom-crafted in a lab, we offer CEREC® same-day crowns. We have the sophisticated in-house milling equipment to make beautiful, durable ceramic crowns during a patient’s first visit. This eliminates the need for a temporary crown and a second visit weeks later to receive the permanent crown. Dr. Mike Lakota, a dentist with over 25 years’ experience, takes pride in keeping up to date with advances in both dental technology and technique, and he has extensive experience outfitting patients with same-day crowns as well as traditional crowns and bridges.
What’s the Difference Between Crowns and Bridges?
A dental crown is a cap that’s placed over a cracked or broken tooth to prevent further damage. A bridge is used when a patient has one or more missing teeth. There are various bridge designs, but generally a bridge features crowns anchored to natural teeth on either side of the missing tooth. Its job is to hold an artificial tooth in place.
No matter what type of dental restoration you need, you’ll benefit from Dr. Lakota’s exceptional skill as well as advanced equipment when you partner with Lakota Dental. For example, we use intraoral cameras to generate 3D digital scans that help us provide each patient with a precise fit. This high-tech approach means our patients don’t have to endure messy putty in their mouths to get the impressions needed to create custom crowns and bridges.
