01.
The Dental Crown Process
First, your dentist gently prepares the tooth and takes precise digital impressions for a perfect fit. A temporary crown protects your tooth while your custom crown is crafted in the lab. Once ready, it’s securely bonded and polished for a natural, seamless look.
02.
The Dental Bridge Process
The process begins with a thorough exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. We then prepare the surrounding teeth, take precise impressions, and craft a custom bridge that blends beautifully with your natural smile. Once your permanent bridge is ready, we carefully place and adjust it to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. With proper care, your bridge can last for years.
