At Fair Lakes Family Dentistry Cypress, getting crowns and bridges takes at least two visits.
First, your dentist conducts an oral exam and takes a series of oral X-rays to assess the health of your mouth.
If you have a damaged or severely decaying tooth, your provider removes the weak portion of your enamel and takes impressions of your tooth. They send your impressions to a laboratory that designs and manufactures a custom crown that first perfectly.
If you’re missing one tooth or several teeth in a row, you can benefit from a bridge. Your provider removes a thin layer of enamel from the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile and takes impressions. They send your impressions to a lab that designs and manufactures a custom dental bridge.
When your custom crown or bridge is ready, you return to Fair Lakes Family Dentistry Cypress. Your provider lines up the restoration, bonds it in place, polishes your teeth, and provides care instructions.
