How Dental Crowns WorkOnce we establish the need for a crown, you will need to schedule two appointments. During the first appointment, our dentist will diagnose your tooth, and prepare it for crowning by shaping it. We will also provide a temporary crown for you to wear while we construct your permanent one. This initial visit will not last longer than an hour, so you do not have to worry about spending the entire day out of work. By your second appointment, we will have created your permanent crown, so the process will simply involve the removal of the temporary crown and replacing it with the permanent one. The permanent crown will function and feel just the same as your original tooth.
