THE PROCEDURE OF DENTAL CROWNS goa

The first step is for your dentist to make an impression of the tooth. This is taken to a dental laboratory where a custom-made crown is fashioned. A temporary crown is installed and you will wear this until the permanent crown has been made which usually takes about two weeks. However we can speed up to 2-7 days if requested.

The cement color used for your permanent crown must be the same as used for your temporary crown as the color of the cement does affect the overall color of a porcelain crown.

When you return for your second appointment the permanent crown will be cemented onto your tooth. The crown should last for ten to fifteen years.

The placement of a crown can usually be completed with only two appointments. However, it is possible that your tooth may require a preliminary restoration. In order to stabilize your tooth, a filling will be put in place prior to placing a crown due to the loss of original tooth structure.
