We can complete a tooth crown from start to finish in about two to three weeks and with two visits to Vandervoort Family Dentistry.
The Crown Process in Tuscaloosa: Step-By-Step
Once we've determined that a dental crown is the best procedure to restore your smile, your first appointment will be to prepare your tooth for its restoration.
Our dentists take impressions of the tooth and make it a temporary crown to wear while we wait for a trusted dental lab to create your final restoration. It takes the dental lab two to three weeks to complete a crown.
When your new tooth is ready, you'll return to our Tuscaloosa dental office to have our dentists permanently place and adjust it. Once we place it, you'll be ready to enjoy food and share your restored smile with the world!
When Do I Need a Dental Crown?
Our dentists might recommend a tooth crown in these situations:
- To rebuild an extremely decayed, fractured, or damaged tooth
- To replace a larger broken or lost filling
- As the finishing touch to a single dental implant
- To strengthen a tooth that's had root canal treatment
