Crowns & Bridges: The 5-Step Procedure (Typically 2 Visits Over 2 Weeks)
- 1
Initial Consultation & Assessment
30–45 minutesYour dentist examines the damaged or missing tooth, takes X-rays, and discusses material options (porcelain vs zirconia). If the tooth needs a root canal first, that's done before crown preparation.
- 2
Tooth Preparation & Shade Matching
60–90 minutesThe dentist files down the tooth by 1–2mm on all sides to make room for the crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated in the lab. The shade is matched to neighbouring teeth.
- 3
Lab Fabrication (Off-site, 1–2 weeks)
7–14 daysYour impression is sent to a dental laboratory where the permanent crown is custom-made to match your bite and tooth shade. This typically takes 7–14 days depending on complexity.
- 4
Crown Removal & Fitting
30–45 minutesThe temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is fitted. The dentist checks your bite, makes minor adjustments if needed, and cements the crown in place using special adhesive.

Post-Care Instructions & Follow-up
10 minutesYou'll receive care instructions: avoid hard foods for 24 hours, maintain good oral hygiene, and schedule a follow-up in 2 weeks to ensure the crown is settling well.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Crown or Bridge?
Good candidates
- Adults 35+ with a cracked, heavily decayed, or severely stained tooth that cannot be fixed with a simple filling
- Patients with a root-canal-treated tooth needing protection—crowns seal the tooth and prevent re-infection
- People with one or more missing teeth who want a fixed (non-removable) replacement instead of dentures or implants
- Patients with good oral hygiene and healthy gums who can commit to caring for the crown (brushing, flossing, regular checkups)
May need extra assessment
- Insufficient bone or gum recession around the tooth—your dentist may recommend bone grafting or gum treatment before crown placement
- Very deep decay reaching near the nerve—a root canal may be needed first, adding 1–2 extra appointments and cost
- Severe bite misalignment (overbite/underbite)—orthodontic correction may be recommended first to prevent crown failure
