Restore Strength, Beauty & Function with Custom Dental Crowns

At Absolute Dental in Orland Park, we use advanced technology and precise craftsmanship to create durable, natural-looking dental crowns (also called caps). Whether you need to repair a cracked tooth, protect a tooth after a root canal, or enhance your smile, our crowns are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth.

We proudly serve patients from Orland Park, Mokena, Frankfort, Tinley Park, and nearby communities — providing personalized, high-quality care that focuses on comfort, appearance, and long-lasting results.

Why You Might Need a Dental Crown

  • Protect a weakened or cracked tooth
  • Restore a tooth after a large filling or root canal
  • Improve the shape, color, or alignment of a tooth
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Anchor a dental bridge

If a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown provides full coverage, restoring both strength and appearance.

Crowns for Cosmetic Reasons

Dental crowns aren’t just for repairing damaged teeth — they can also be used to create a beautiful, more confident smile. At Absolute Dental, we often recommend cosmetic crowns for patients who want to improve the color, shape, or overall look of their teeth when veneers or bonding aren’t the right fit.

Cosmetic crowns can:

  • Cover permanently discolored or misshapen teeth
  • Lengthen short or worn-down teeth
  • Create symmetry and balance in your smile
  • Correct minor alignment or spacing concerns
  • Replace outdated crowns that no longer match your natural teeth

Our high-quality porcelain and zirconia crowns reflect light like natural enamel, giving you a radiant, lifelike smile. Many patients choose cosmetic crowns as part of a complete smile makeover.

    The patient had a severely infected tooth & poorly fitting crowns that left visible gaps along the gumline. After replacing the infected tooth with an implant and replacing the crowns with custom-fitted crowns, we were able to give her a healthy & confident smile

Implant Crowns — The Finishing Touch to a Dental Implant

If you’re missing a tooth, a dental implant restored with a custom crown is the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back. At Absolute Dental, we work closely with a trusted local periodontist who specializes in implant placement.

Once the titanium implant has fused securely with your bone, our team designs and places a custom porcelain or zirconia crown on top — precisely color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Your implant crown is:

  • Strong and permanent — it functions just like a natural tooth
  • Custom-designed for your smile and bite
  • Beautifully crafted for a natural, seamless look
  • Easy to care for with regular brushing and flossing

This collaborative approach ensures both the surgical and restorative phases are handled by experienced professionals — so you can enjoy a healthy, confident smile that lasts for decades.

What to Expect During Your Crown Treatment

  1. Consultation & Mold
    We start with a detailed exam and mold of your mouth to plan your crown and select the right material and shade.
  2. Tooth Preparation
    The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for your crown. Any old restorations or decay are removed first.
  3. Temporary Crown
    A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent one is crafted by our partner lab.
  4. Custom Crown Fabrication
    Your crown is made using high-quality porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal for the ideal blend of strength and esthetics.
  5. Final Placement
    Once ready, we check fit, bite, and comfort, then securely bond your new crown into place.
  6. Follow-Up and Care
    We ensure your crown looks natural, feels comfortable, and functions perfectly.

  • Porcelain or Ceramic: Ideal for front teeth and cosmetic cases; offers the most natural, lifelike appearance.
