Services Detail
CROWN & Bridges
Dental crowns are a highly versatile dental restoration that covers the tooth or implant and are used to treat functional and cosmetic dental concerns like:
- Repairing a damaged, cracked or chipped tooth
- Covering a discolored tooth
- Stabilizing a tooth after a root canal procedure
- Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant
BRIDGE
A dental bridge is a restorative dental procedure that replaces many missing teeth. Patients who are missing several consecutive teeth may consider a dental bridge.
Procedure
- Treatment will begin by preparing the site in your mouth where the dentist will place the dental crown.
- If it’s a natural tooth that is being crowned, it will include shaving off the tooth to specific guidelines. Then an impression will be taken to create a physical/virtual mold.
- If it’s an implant, adjustments would be made to the implant abutment and an impression will be taken.
- Impression will be sent to the lab for crown fabrication.
- Once the crown is received from the lab it will be cemented in place.
FAQs
A crown usually requires two visits: one for the preparation of the site and one for the cementation. There is a gap of 5- 6 days in between the visits where technicians fabricate the crown in dental lab.
