How Does it Work?

What to Expect during Treatment

Treatment can vary for each patient, depending on the specific needs. Here are the basic steps you can expect during dental crown placement at our NY dentistry practice:

Day of Procedure

Anesthesia

First, your Mount Vernon, NY, dentist administers local anesthesia to numb the affected tooth and the surrounding tissues. If desired, sedation options can be discussed as well.

Preparation

Next, your tooth must be prepared for your new restoration. This involves removing some enamel. Your dentist will use conservative methods to retain as much structure as possible.

Impressions

Next, your New York dentist takes impressions of your teeth with a handheld digital wand. These are sent to our dental lab and are used to create your new custom restoration.

Crown Fabrication

A trained lab technician fabricates your crown according to the specifications given by your New York dentist. They use only the most advanced methods available for optimal results.

Dental Crown Placement

When your new restoration is ready, we will schedule you for another appointment at our Mount Vernon, NY, dental practice. Your dentist will permanently bond the dental crown in place.
