A dental crown takes some time to make so in the meantime your dentist will usually install a temporary crown. They are as their name suggests, temporary. Employing an adhesive that allows you to carry on as usual but that is much easier to remove than the one that will be used with the permanent crown. Which you will receive on your next visit. In the meantime, you will need to take some precautions in the way you clean your teeth while eating, with the type of food you eat.
