A dental crown is an entire cap that is placed over a tooth. In a dental crown procedure, the crown is cemented into place and fully covers the entire tooth.

What to expect when getting a dental crown procedure?
Our dental crown procedure entails the following steps:
- The dentist removes any decay from the existing tooth and adds any structure/filling needed to support the tooth

- If needed, the dentist will provide a temporary crown to protect the tooth until the real crown is ready
- Once the crown is ready it will be cemented to the tooth by the dentist
