How is a dental crown placed?

Placing a dental crown typically requires two appointments with a dental professional. During the first appointment, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping the remaining tooth structure to accommodate the crown. The dentist will then take an impression of the tooth and send it to a dental lab to create a custom crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown will be placed over the prepared tooth to protect it. During the second appointment, the temporary crown will be removed and the custom crown will be bonded in place using dental cement. The dentist will check the fit and bite of the crown to ensure that it feels comfortable and functions properly.
