A crown procedure usually requires two appointments.
 
  •  At your first appointment-The tooth is reduced in size to accommodate a crown. An impression is taken of the existing tooth. The impression is sent to the dental technician's laboratory. A temporary crown is applied which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory
 
  •  At your second appointment- the temporary crown is removed and permanent crowns are cemented in place.
