Dental Crowns Williamsburg

Planning your individualized treatment and placing crowns typically requires two visits. During your first appointment, your dentist performs a comprehensive dental exam and dental cleaning. Then, they take digital X-rays to ensure you’re a good candidate for crowns. To prepare your teeth for crowns, your dentist files, reshapes, and reduces the size of your teeth. This step prevents your crowns from appearing bulky or unnatural and ensures they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. After preparing your teeth, your dentist takes digital impressions with the iTero® digital scanner. Temporary crowns protect your teeth while you wait for your permanent restorations. After two to three weeks, you return to Dently so your dentist can place your permanent crowns. They make any necessary adjustments before cementing the crown in place. To find out if you’re a good candidate for crowns, call the Dently office or schedule an appointment online today.
