Getting a dental crown at Colbert Family Dental typically takes 7–14 days from initial planning to final placement. This allows time for a custom dental lab to meticulously custom-craft a crown that looks natural and perfectly fits your tooth.
Why We Recommend a Dental Crown
Our dentists in Maple Grove typically recommend crowns when a tooth is too decayed, damaged, or weakened for a filling. The role of the crown is to protect the tooth from further damage and restore it to its former shape, size, and function.
Steps for Getting a Dental Crown
Getting a dental crown requires two visits to Colbert Family Dental. The first step is a thorough examination to evaluate your needs and discuss the best restorative options.
During your first visit, we numb the tooth and then reshape it slightly for proper fit. We take an impression of the prepared tooth that the dental lab uses to fabricate your restoration. Before you leave, we fit a temporary to protect the tooth while you wait.
When we receive your final crown, you'll return to our office, where we will ensure the fit and appearance are perfect, then cement the restoration securely to your tooth.
