Treatment Process
Initial Examination
Your dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess its condition and determine if a crown is the best solution.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown. If there is extensive decay or risk of infection, a root canal may be performed first.
Impressions
Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly and aligns correctly with your bite.
Temporary Crown
While your permanent crown is being crafted in a dental laboratory, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
Crown Fitting
Once your custom crown is ready (typically within 1-2 weeks), the temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is carefully checked for fit and appearance before being cemented in place.
Before & After

Aftercare
After your crown is placed, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing daily, paying special attention to the area around the crown. Avoid chewing hard foods or items like ice with the crown to prevent damage. If you grind your teeth, consider wearing a night guard to protect your crown. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure the longevity of your crown and overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Patient Stories
"After cracking my molar, I was worried I might lose the tooth. Dr. Smith at Confidental Clinic recommended a crown, and I'm so glad I followed his advice. The process was straightforward, and my new crown looks completely natural. I can eat normally again without any pain or discomfort."
Katherine Mitchell
"I needed a crown after root canal treatment on my front tooth, and I was concerned about how it would look. The team at Confidental Clinic took extra care to match the color and shape perfectly with my other teeth. The result is amazing—no one can tell it's not my real tooth! The whole experience was much more comfortable than I expected."
