The dentist prepares the tooth to be crowned by reducing it just enough to allow a crown to fit over it and not appear bulky. An impression of the teeth is taken and used by the technician to make a plaster cast on which the crown is modelled.
A temporary crown is worn for around 14 days whilst the crown is being made. At the next appointment, the dentist will ‘try in’ the crown to check the fit and colour. When both the dentist and client are happy with the overall effect, it will be finally fixed in place.
