How Crown and Bridge Placement Works
- 1
Consultation & assessment
30–45 minutesYour dentist examines the damaged or missing tooth, takes X-rays, and discusses your treatment goals. For crowns, they assess how much tooth structure remains. For bridges, they evaluate the health of anchor teeth. This visit confirms whether a crown, bridge, or implant is the right choice.
- 2
Tooth preparation & impression
45–60 minutesThe damaged tooth is shaped (filed down) to create space for the crown. If you're nervous about drilling, your dentist applies local anaesthetic and can use a water-cooled drill to minimise vibration and heat. An impression or digital scan is taken to send to the lab for custom fabrication.
- 3
Temporary crown placement
15–20 minutesA temporary resin crown is fitted to protect your prepared tooth and maintain your bite during the 1–2 week lab turnaround. This crown feels different and requires careful eating (avoid sticky or hard foods), which can feel uncomfortable for some patients.
- 4
Final crown cementation
30–45 minutesOnce your custom crown returns from the lab, the temporary crown is removed and your final restoration is fitted. The dentist checks the fit, bite alignment, and shade match before permanently cementing it in place using dental adhesive.

Aftercare & follow-up
Ongoing maintenanceYou'll receive instructions on how to care for your crown: avoid chewing on hard objects, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and attend regular checkups. Most dentists schedule a 1-week follow-up to ensure your bite remains comfortable and the crown is settling correctly.
Are you a good candidate for a crown or bridge?
Good candidates
- Adults 35+ with a cracked, chipped, or heavily filled tooth that is causing pain or sensitivity and needs long-term protection
- Patients with a missing tooth who want a fixed (non-removable) replacement and have healthy adjacent teeth to anchor a bridge
- People who have completed a root canal and need a crown to seal and protect the treated tooth from re-infection
- Those with a large cavity or broken tooth where a filling alone cannot restore the tooth's strength and function
May need extra assessment
- Very young patients (under 30) with damaged teeth: a dentist may recommend delaying crown placement until facial growth is complete and natural teeth are stronger
- Patients with active gum disease or poor oral hygiene: crowns require healthy gums and consistent brushing/flossing to prevent infection and crown failure
- Those with severe grinding or clenching habits: extra assessment may be needed to ensure your crown material and bite design can withstand heavy forces
