If you're visiting Dental Vista for a dental crown, the process will typically begin with an evaluation of the affected tooth. Our dentist will assess the damage and determine if a crown is the best option. The first step of the procedure involves preparing the tooth by removing decay and reshaping it to fit the crown. Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom crown, and you’ll receive a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made. At your next visit, the custom-made crown will be fitted and cemented in place.
