Dental Crown Procedure

We will prepare the tooth for the crown at the initial appointment. This may entail eliminating cavities or modifying the tooth to ensure its health before placing a cap on it. We must also ensure that it is designed so that the crown fits comfortably. After we have properly prepped the tooth, we will take imprints of your mouth and send them to our lab for manufacturing. The color and contour of your existing teeth will be matched to the dental crown.

Until your final restoration is ready, we will place a temporary cap on your tooth. This allows you to use your teeth more effectively, but you should take caution when chewing hard or sticky foods.

When the crown is complete, we will clean the tooth and make any final preparations, including filing the tooth down if necessary, during the next appointment. After the permanent crown is put in, it is examined to ensure that it fits properly. Once we are satisfied with the fit, we will permanently connect the crown to the tooth, restoring complete function to your teeth.
