The cost of a dental crown can vary and depends on several factors. It's important to remember that each tooth restoration we provide at Cedar Lake Dental is a customized solution to restore your dental health and your smile’s functionality.

Factors Impacting a Dental Crown's Cost 

Type of Material Used 

At Cedar Lake Dental, we offer options, including porcelain, zirconia, and full gold crowns, and each has benefits and unique considerations. The right choice for you depends on the tooth's location and your aesthetic preferences.

Treatment Needed Before Crown Placement

Sometimes, Dr. Copeland must perform additional procedures before placing your crown, such as a root canal or gum surgery. If needed, the cost of these would be added to the crown’s cost.

Your Dental Insurance Coverage

If you have dental insurance, your out-of-pocket costs depend on your coverage. Most insurance providers cover a portion of restorative procedures like crowns, but the amount can vary greatly.

Expect Transparency in Pricing

At Cedar Lake Dental, Dr. Copeland believes in complete transparency regarding cost. She will evaluate your needs, explain your treatment options, and provide a detailed cost estimate before starting any treatment.

Yes, Dr. Copeland is highly experienced in placing dental implants, a service she has been offering for many years. She has had extensive training in implantology, and you can be confident that she is an excellent choice for implant placement and restoration.

Why Are Dental Implants a Good Choice?

Dental implants have been used for decades and are considered the gold standard of tooth replacement for several reasons. Because they are placed surgically in the jawbone, they act as artificial tooth roots and provide a secure and stable foundation for replacement teeth. This stability restores nearly full chewing function and also prevents the movement of adjacent teeth.

The new roots also stimulate bone regeneration to keep your jawbone strong and healthy. Since implants are a standalone tooth replacement, there’s no need to alter healthy teeth as there is with a dental bridge. Implants also have a very impressive 95 percent success rate and can last a lifetime when cared for properly.

Trust an Experienced Implant Dentist

Dr. Copeland's expertise enables her to manage the entire implant process here at our comfortable Round Lake dental office—from initial consultation and surgical placement of the implant through design and attachment of the final restoration. This comprehensive care ensures you receive all necessary treatment steps in a familiar, comfortable setting.

Are You a Good Dental Implant Candidate?

If you're ready to regain a beautiful, functional smile with the help of dental implants, Dr. Copeland is here to help. Her expertise and patient-centered approach ensures a comfortable and efficient process.

Contact our office today to schedule your initial consultation and take the first step towards rediscovering your smile with dental implants.

Dr. Copeland welcomes patients of all ages, including children. Our team understands how early dental visits can set children up for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. We strive to create a welcoming kid-friendly environment where they can have positive experiences.

What’s Involved with Children’s Dentistry?

Children's dentistry is more than cleaning teeth and treating cavities; it’s about teaching kids the importance of good oral hygiene habits such as regular brushing and flossing. We also monitor your child’s dental development and address potential issues early before they become more complex to treat.

Dr. Copeland knows many children feel nervous or scared about dental visits. That's why she makes an extra effort to communicate with her youngest patients in a way they can understand. She takes time to explain each step of the process so there are no scary surprises. This approach eases children's fears and makes dental visits a positive experience.

Preventative care is a primary focus at Cedar Lake Dental, and we offer dental sealants and fluoride treatments to help protect children's teeth from decay. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings also contribute to maintaining a healthy smile for your child.

Is It Time for Your Child’s Next Dental Check-Up?

Whether it’s your child’s age one visit or time for their next routine dental exam and cleaning, rest assured that our team will provide the care and attention they need. Call our Round Lake, IL, dental office to schedule a convenient appointment.

Yes, Dr. Copeland performs tooth extractions at Cedar Lake Dental. Her extensive experience, leading-edge treatments, and use of advanced technology ensure you will receive the best care possible.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction

There are several reasons why Dr. Copeland might recommend removing a tooth. Sometimes a tooth is so badly decayed that it can’t be saved with a filling or crown. Wisdom teeth are notorious for causing problems, so we may recommend removing them to protect your overall oral health.

Dr. Copeland will always consider all other approaches before recommending tooth extraction. She will discuss her recommendations with you so you can make the best decision for your oral health.

Why Choose Dr. Copeland for Tooth Extractions?

Dr. Copeland brings great expertise to all dental procedures, including tooth extractions. Advanced dental technology helps her plan precise treatment to ensure a safe, efficient procedure. Her use of leading-edge platelet-rich plasma (PRP) promotes faster healing and helps prevent complications after extraction.

Ensuring Comfort During the Procedure

Your comfort is our top priority at Cedar Lake Dental. We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area to ensure you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. With amenities like comfortable pillows, movies, dimmed lighting, blankets, aromatherapy, and heated seat massage, we create a soothing and comfortable environment.

Do You Think You Need a Tooth Extraction?

Dr. Copeland and our team are always available to answer your questions and address your concerns about tooth extraction. Please contact our Round Lake, IL, dental office to schedule an appointment so we can help you.
