X-rays will be taken to check the roots of the tooth receiving the crown. If the tooth has extensive decay or there is a risk of infection, a root canal treatment may be performed first.
Anesthesia is used to numb the area to eliminate discomfort. The tooth that is receiving the crown will be reduced to make room for the crown.
Our dentist will make an impression of the tooth using paste or putty. These impressions are sent to the lab where the crown will be manufactured.
A temporary crown is placed to cover and protect the prepared tooth while the crown is being made.
Once your permanent crown arrives, your temporary crown will be removed and your permanent crown will be placed over your tooth to ensure the right fit and color.
If the final crown looks great and meets the patient’s expectations, an anesthetic will be used to numb the tooth and the crown will be cemented in place.
