Don’t expect the crown to appear on day one. First the dentist needs to prepare the tooth. That usually means removing an amount of enamel so the crown can sit over it without looking bulky.<\/p>\r\n
Once the tooth is shaped your dentist takes a digital scan or impression. Your shade gets matched here too which matters more than people think. A crown thats slightly off can stand out every time you smile.<\/p>\r\n
