Crowns are a good choice when you have a weak tooth, a tooth that has been exposed to decay or has been cracked or worn down. Crowns are also used to hold dental bridges in place.
Two office visits are required when fitting a crown. In the first visit, Dr. Nguyen or Dr. Weinberg utilizes a state-of-the-art scanner that will scan the tooth to precision and get passed on to our dental lab. This ensures that the lab has exact, digital reference to create your new crown. We will then remove any decay and shape the tooth appropriately.
