How does the dental crown placement process work?

Dental crowns are a common and effective solution for restoring damaged or weakened teeth. At Wilmette Dental Institute, we provide dental crowns in Wilmette, IL, ensuring our patients receive top-quality care. Understanding the dental crown placement process can help patients in the 60091 area feel more comfortable and informed about their dental treatment.

Initial Consultation and Examination

The first step in the dental crown process is a thorough examination by your dentist in 60091. During this initial consultation, the dentist evaluates the condition of your tooth and determines if a crown is the best solution. This may involve taking x-rays to assess the tooth's roots and surrounding bone.

Tooth Preparation 

We prepare and reshape the tooth to make room for the dental crown. 

Impression and Crown Fabrication

After we prepare the tooth, we make an impression and send it to our dental lab partners, where they create a custom dental crown. 

Temporary Crown Placement

While your final crown is being made, we place a temporary crown over the prepared tooth. 

Final Crown Placement

Once your custom crown is ready, you will return for a final appointment. We will remove the temporary crown and cement the new one in place.
