What is the process of getting a dental crown?
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves multiple steps. It begins with the preparation of the tooth, where the dentist removes any decay or damaged portions and shapes the tooth to accommodate the crown. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create a custom-made crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown may be placed. Once the permanent crown is ready, it is cemented onto the prepared tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function.
