Procedure for Getting Ceramic Crowns

  • Consultation: The first step in getting ceramic crowns is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. During this appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if ceramic crowns are the right option for you.
  • Tooth Preparation: Once you have decided to proceed with ceramic crowns, your dentist will prepare your tooth by removing a thin layer of enamel. This is done to accommodate the thickness of the crown and ensure a proper fit.
  • Impressions: After tooth preparation, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions will be used to create a custom-made crown that fits perfectly in your mouth.
  • Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being fabricated, your dentist will place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
  • Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and place the ceramic crown on your tooth. They will then ensure that the crown fits properly and make any necessary adjustments.
  • Bonding: The final step in the procedure is bonding the crown to your tooth using dental cement. This ensures a secure and long-lasting fit.
