How are porcelain crowns made?
Once you and Dr. Greenhalgh have determined that you will have porcelain crowns, it will be done in two visits. • Dr. Greenhalgh will remove all decay, damage, and bacteria from your tooth. He will use magnification and special dyes to make sure your tooth is completely clean before rebuilding it. If the damage has gone near the gum line, he may use a laser to properly clean that area as well. He will take digital photos and make an impression. Our on-site dental lab will then use this data to custom-craft your crown. You’ll leave with a temporary teeth crown which will look great and work well for the interim. • Dr. Greenhalgh will remove the temporary tooth crown and again clean the tooth. Then he’ll verify the fit and alignment of your new crown. When you and he are satisfied, he will bond it permanently to the tooth and make sure your bite is properly balanced.
