Dr. Tom Meyer:
“When people hear the words crowns and bridges, they often picture something purely mechanical—fix the tooth, place the restoration, move on. At Meyer Dental Group, that’s not how we see it at all. For us, crowns and bridges in Mount Prospect are part of a much bigger picture: how your bite works, how your jaw feels, how your smile fits your face, and how all of that affects your daily comfort and confidence.
That’s where our integrative approach comes in.”
Looking beyond the tooth
A crown or bridge doesn’t exist in isolation. Every tooth is part of a system that includes muscles, joints, nerves, and even posture. If that system is out of balance, simply covering a damaged tooth won’t solve the underlying problem—and sometimes it can create new ones.
When we provide crowns and bridges, we start by asking deeper questions:
- Why did this tooth break or wear down in the first place?
- Is there grinding, clenching, or bite imbalance involved?
- How will this restoration affect the surrounding teeth and jaw joints over time?
By answering those questions first, we can design crowns and bridges in Mount Prospect that support long-term health, not just short-term fixes.
Decades of experience, paired with fresh thinking
One of the unique strengths of Meyer Dental Group is the collaboration between Dr. Tom Meyer and Dr. Ellie Meyer.
Dr. Tom brings decades of clinical experience. He’s seen how dentistry has evolved—and, just as importantly, where shortcuts can lead to problems years down the road. His approach to crowns and bridges is grounded in stability, function, and long-term predictability
Dr. Ellie complements that foundation with a modern, innovative mindset. She integrates advanced materials, updated techniques, and a strong focus on how restorations interact with the whole body. Together, they challenge each other in the best way—blending wisdom earned over time with thoughtful innovation.
For patients seeking crowns and bridges in Mount Prospect, that teamwork means nothing is rushed, assumed, or overlooked.
The role of the MDG team
An integrative approach doesn’t stop with the dentists. Our entire team plays a role in how crowns and bridges are planned and delivered.
From the first conversation, our clinical and administrative team takes time to understand your concerns, your comfort level, and your goals. Digital imaging, careful impressions, and detailed communication all contribute to restorations that fit naturally and feel right from the start.
Every crown and bridge is reviewed not just for how it looks, but for how it functions—how it bites, how it balances, and how it supports your overall oral health.
Materials and design that respect the body
When it comes to crowns and bridges in Mount Prospect, materials truly matter. At Meyer Dental Group, we choose materials that are not only strong and long-lasting, but often biocompatible as well—designed to work with your natural teeth, not against them. The goal is a restoration that feels natural from day one, not something your mouth has to slowly “accept.”
Design matters just as much. The shape, height, and alignment of a crown directly influence how your bite functions and how your jaw muscles and joints respond. Even a minor imbalance can contribute to jaw tension, headaches, or uneven wear over time. That’s why precision isn’t optional—it’s essential to our integrative approach.
To support that level of accuracy and comfort, Meyer Dental Group uses its own CEREC® milling machine, allowing us to design, craft, and place SAME-DAY CROWNS right in our office. This means your crown is digitally designed to fit your bite with remarkable precision—often in a single visit—while maintaining the thoughtful, whole-body perspective that guides everything we do.
Restoring confidence, not just teeth
For many patients, needing a crown or bridge comes with mixed emotions. There’s relief that something can be fixed—but also worry about discomfort, cost, or how it will look.
We take those concerns seriously. Crowns and bridges at Meyer Dental Group in Mount Prospect aren’t about pushing treatment—they’re about restoring confidence. Confidence to chew comfortably. Confidence to smile without hesitation. Confidence that your dental care was done with care and intention.
A different kind of dental experience
Patients often tell us that visiting Meyer Dental Group feels different. Less like an appointment. More like being welcomed.
That’s intentional.
Whether you’re here specifically for our Mount Prospect crowns and bridges, or just routine dental care, our goal is to create an environment where you feel known, respected, and supported. Dentistry should feel personal—because it is.
A quiet invitation
Dr. Ellie Meyer:
“If you’ve been putting off crowns or bridges, or if you’ve had dental work in the past that never quite felt right, it may be time for a different conversation.
At Meyer Dental Group, we don’t believe in quick fixes. We believe in thoughtful care, honest guidance, and relationships built over time. The kind of place you return to not just because you need dentistry—but because it feels familiar, comfortable, and trusted.
Sometimes, the best dental decision isn’t about treatment at all. It’s about finding a dental home that feels like family!“
