The procedure usually takes just two visits – the first to place the temporary crown and the second to place the permanent one.nnTemporary Crown: During the first visit, we will remove decay and shape your tooth to prepare it for the new crown. A dental impression will be taken for the lab and a temporary crown will be placed on your tooth.nPermanent Crown: Once we receive your new crown from the lab (typically within 2 weeks), you will return to us for a quick appointment to permanently attach the crown and fit it to perfection!
