We treat the damaged tooth by cleaning any decay or damage and shaping it so the crown can sit comfortably on top. You want your crown to match your lifestyle, so it is always custom-fitted to your unique tooth structure.
2. Once the tooth has been shaped, we’ll use digital scan i-Tero technology to take scans of your mouth before sending it to the lab to have your crown created uniquely for your mouth. This is a big change from the days of using soft uncomfortable putty to make the crown molding.
3. While our experts are crafting your crown, we make sure to fit you with a temporary crown that you can wear for 2 weeks to help you avoid any discomfort.
4. When you come in for your final visit, we will have your custom crown ready to be placed onto your tooth. After quickly removing the temporary crown, we make sure your new crown fits securely and then bond the crown to your tooth. Bonding is a simple method of using dental ‘glue’ to make sure the crown is secure and does not fall out.
