The Dental Crown Procedure
Initial Examination
Your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth and determine whether a crown is the best treatment option.
Tooth Preparation
The damaged portion of the tooth is carefully prepared to create space for the custom crown.
Digital Impressions
Accurate impressions are taken to ensure your crown fits comfortably and functions properly.
Temporary Crown
A temporary crown may be placed while your permanent restoration is being fabricated.
Crown Placement
Once your custom crown is ready, it is securely bonded to the tooth and adjusted for comfort, appearance, and bite alignment.
Dental Crowns After Root Canal Treatment
Following root canal therapy, teeth can become more fragile and susceptible to fractures.
