Dental Crowns and Bridges
It typically takes a few weeks to get a dental crown in Chelsea Heights.
First, your dentist has you come in for a booking lasting 1 to 1.5 hours. At this visit, we shape the tooth, prepare it for crowning and take the necessary impressions for crown fabrication. In the meantime, we provide you with a temporary restoration.
In approximately two weeks, you will return to our dental clinic for your final appointment. At this visit, which lasts approximately 45 minutes, the dentist makes final adjustments to your new crown before cementing it over your tooth.
* Treatment timelines depend on patient suitability and clinical needs. Your dentist will confirm your expected treatment timeframe.
Reasons You May Need a Dental Crown
Your dentist may recommend a dental crown for various reasons, and sometimes patients request one as part of cosmetic dentistry.
Here are the reasons you may need a tooth crown:
- Crown Lengthening: Building up a short tooth
- Tooth Vulnerability: Supporting a weak or previously treated tooth at risk for fracture
- Tooth Replacement: Connecting a dental bridge to healthy teeth or capping a single dental implant
- Flaw Concealing: Hiding tooth imperfections
