The procedure for placing dental crowns and bridges typically involves two appointments. During the first, our dentists will prepare the area by slightly reducing surrounding teeth to make room for the crown or bridge. Impressions of your mouth will also be taken so that your custom-made crown or bridge can be fabricated in a lab, and your reduced teeth will be covered with temporary crowns while your permanent versions are being made. On your second visit, the permanent restoration will be placed and adjusted, if necessary, for an optimal fit.
