Crowns
A crown covers a tooth that is weak, heavily filled or broken. It takes two visits, about two weeks apart.

Visit 1, 60 minutes: the tooth is numbed and shaped, and a scan or impression is taken.

Fitted the same day to protect the tooth while you wait.

About two weeks: the crown is made to match the shade of your teeth.

Fitting
Visit 2, 30 minutes: the temporary comes off and the crown is cemented.
