The first steps to placement of crowns or bridges are an x-ray and the examination of the tooth or teeth involved. Your doctor will also make examine the tissues surrounding the tooth or teeth to be treated. Your doctor will then prepare the area to receive the crown or bridge. This may involve shaping the tooth or teeth. If there is significant damage or infection is present a root canal may be performed.
Next an impression is made of the tooth and surrounding tissues so that the perfect crown or bridge can be made. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed while the permanent one is manufactured. At the next visit the crown or bridge will be placed and your smile will be restored.
