Crown Preparation

What to Expect

Restore Strength and Aesthetics

A dental crown is a custom-made, highly durable cap that entirely covers a damaged, weakened, or heavily decayed tooth. It restores the tooth to its original shape, size, strength, and appearance.

At Premium Smile, Dr. Iqbal prepares your tooth with meticulous precision, takes detailed impressions, and works with expert dental labs to craft porcelain or ceramic crowns that perfectly match the color and translucency of your natural teeth.

Whether you need a crown after a root canal, to protect a cracked tooth, or to improve the appearance of a discolored tooth, the result is a natural-looking, long-lasting restoration.

The Process

3-Step Treatment Timeline

1

Tooth Preparation

The tooth is carefully reshaped to accommodate the crown. Detailed impressions are taken and sent to the dental lab. A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.

2

Lab Fabrication

Your permanent crown is custom-crafted by skilled technicians to match the exact color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This typically takes 5-7 working days.

3

Crown Placement

The temporary crown is removed, and your permanent crown is checked for fit, color, and bite. Once approved, it is permanently cemented in place.

💆

Patient Comfort is Our Priority

Crown preparation is performed under local anesthesia for a painless experience. The temporary crown ensures you can eat and smile comfortably while waiting for your permanent restoration.
