What Should I Expect During the Procedure?
First of all, there’s no need to worry. Some people think of getting a crown or a dental crown as something scary or painful, but Dr. Lopez will be there with you to reassure you, explain everything, and most importantly, keep your tooth and the soft tissues surrounding it perfectly anesthetized. Once you’re nice and numb, the tooth will be gently filed down on the top surface and the sides, in order to make room for the crown to fit over top. After this has been done, an impression will be made of the tooth and then sent to a dental lab where a crown will be made based on the impression. In the meantime, you’ll be fitted with a temporary crown, which protects your tooth until your permanent crown is ready. Dr. Lopez’s careful and gentle work is why he is a top provider of dental crowns in Boulder, CO.
At the second visit, usually two weeks after the first appointment, Dr. Lopez will remove the temporary crown and check the fit of the permanent crown. A local anesthetic will again be used to numb the tooth and then the permanent crown is cemented in place.
