Q: What is the process like for getting crowns?

Crowns come in many materials, but the most popular types consist of porcelain or ceramic materials. Both porcelain and ceramic crowns look natural because the team can color match them to the shade of your other teeth. The first step in creating crowns is preparing your affected teeth. To ensure the crown looks natural, the team reduces the size of your tooth to make room for it. Next, they use a 3-D scanner to take digital molds, rather than messy, goopy impressions. If you opt for CEREC same-day crowns , the team creates your restorations on-site with a milling machine. For traditional crowns, your impressions are sent to an outside lab, which requires a 2-3 week wait. Finally, the team places the crowns, making any necessary adjustments before cementing them in place.
