Process
- Initial consultation: We begin with a comprehensive exam, digital imaging and a discussion of your treatment goals to develop a personalized plan.
- Tooth preparation: The tooth (or adjacent teeth, for bridges) is reshaped to ensure a secure, natural fit.
- Impressions & temporaries: Digital impressions are used to design your custom restoration. In many cases, CEREC in-office milling allows for same-day crown fabrication and placement; otherwise, a temporary crown or bridge will protect your tooth while the final restoration is crafted.
- Final placement: Once ready, your new crown or bridge is securely placed and adjusted for comfort, bite alignment and aesthetics.
