What is the Procedure for Getting a Dental Crown or Bridge?
To get a dental crown or bridge, Dr. DeFont will first prepare the affected tooth or teeth by removing any decay and shaping them. Then, he will take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fit crown or bridge. While your permanent restoration is being made, you might get a temporary crown or bridge. Once the permanent one is ready, Dr. DeFont will place it, restoring your smile and functionality.
