Process
Initial Consultation: We start with a thorough consultation. We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine whether a crown, bridge, or combination of both is right for you. Impressions or digital scans are taken to plan your custom restoration.
Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the affected tooth is carefully reshaped to create room for the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth (abutments) are prepared to support the bridge. Local anesthesia is used to ensure that you’re comfortable throughout.
Temporary Restoration: After preparation, we place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth while the permanent one is being created in a dental lab.

Next Steps
Fitting and Adjustment: At your follow-up visit, we remove the temporary restoration and place the custom-made crown or bridge. We check the fit, make necessary adjustments, and ensure that it feels comfortable and functions naturally.
Permanent Placement: Once everything is perfect, we securely bond the crown or bridge in place using dental cement. You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your restoration at home.
Follow-up Appointments: We recommend routine dental checkups to monitor your crown or bridge and the surrounding teeth, ensuring long-lasting results and a healthy smile.
