How Are Crowns and Bridges Placed?

The procedure for placing dental crowns or bridges begins with a thorough screening process. During this step, our dentists will look into various aspects such as the severity of your oral condition, and take oral scans and X-rays. 

This data will also be used as a reference for fabricating the dental restorations. 

Until the permanent restoration is ready, our dentists can fit you with a temporary restoration to protect the tooth.

For the final step, our dentists will remove the temporary restoration, and place the permanent restoration on the tooth. After checking that it is a perfect fit, our dentists will bond the restoration using dental adhesives.
