Getting a dental crown is a process that typically requires two visits to our Wilmette dental office; one for preparing your teeth and taking impressions and a second to place the crown.
Initial Consultation and Examination
During this appointment, Dr. Patel performs an exam and determines if a crown is the best solution for your unique needs. He also explains the process and answers your questions so you feel confident about your treatment.
Tooth Preparation and Impressions
During your first appointment, we gently reshape your tooth to make room for the crown. Next, we take impressions of your prepared tooth. A trusted dental lab uses high-quality materials to custom-craft your new restoration.
To protect your prepared tooth, we will fit you with a temporary crown. This allows you to chew normally until your final crown is ready.
Placement of Your Final Crown
Once your custom crown is ready, you'll return to our Wilmette, IL, dental office for the final fitting. Dr. Patel will ensure the crown fits perfectly and matches the color of your surrounding teeth before cementing it in place. The result is a natural-looking restoration that allows you to chew comfortably and smile confidently.
