Crowns and bridges step by step

FIRST STEP

DIAGNOSTICS AND PREPARATION OF THE TREATMENT PLAN.

The first appointment covers a consultation, including:

  • Dental examination.
  • A pantomographic image of the teeth.
  • A digital image of the teeth.
  • Smile analysis.

A patient’s smile is analysed which is a starting point for preparing a treatment plan and a cost estimate including a precise list of teeth requiring crows.

SECOND STEP

TOOTH OR TEETH DRILLING, MAKING A DENTAL IMPRESSION, COLOUR MATCHING, PREPARING A TEMPORARY CROWN.

The second appointment is key because it is during this visit the dentist will drill one or more teeth for crown fitting. During tooth preparation it may be found that the root canal treatment is required in order to avoid any complications later. Afterwards a dental impression is made.

An accurate tooth impression is crucial for a successful prosthetic treatment as it ensures a restored tooth does not look different to the other teeth.

To prepare the impressions, UNIDENT UNION Dental Spa uses top quality materials. These are the only materials available in the market offering the best, unrivalled detailed impression accuracy. A prosthetic laboratory processes the impressions and produces perfectly fitted prosthetic crowns with maximum tight-fitting edges.

THIRD STEP

FITTING AND CEMENTING THE CROWN OR A PROSTHETIC BRIDGE.

During the last appointment, the dentist fits and cements the crown or the bridge. In complicated and aesthetically demanding cases, the fitting is performed during a separate appointment, but most often a crown or a bridge is sufficiently prepared and ready for immediate cementing.
