The Process of Getting a Dental Crown
The procedure for obtaining a dental crown begins with a consultation with one of our dentists. During your initial visit, they will prepare the tooth structure and take an impression of the prepared tooth. A temporary crown will be placed on the tooth, and the impression will be sent to a dental laboratory for crown fabrication. At your subsequent visit, the dentist will ensure a proper fit and cement the crown in place.
Upon completion of the procedure, the crown will seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, restoring your smile's aesthetics and providing the necessary strength for comfortable oral function.
