Your dentist needs to remove the damaged tissue from inside the tooth before a crown can be placed. The Root Canal involves sealing the canals. As a result of this procedure, the tooth is shaped to accept a crown later.<\/p>\r\n
You may leave with a filling from this appointment. Your tooth might be a bit tender for a day or two when chewing. This normally resolves quickly and honestly moving past this stage seems to happen quicker than you think.<\/p>\r\n
Most Root Canals are a single appointment. Occasionally, more complex teeth need another Root Canal appointment. Your dentist will decide based on the tooth rather than a strict schedule.<\/p>\r\n
If the tooth needs to heal up a little before the crown is placed, you will be waiting for a little longer. Do not rush this part. A crown on a tooth that still needs attention is not a shortcut taking.<\/p>\r\n
Once the Root Canal is done, the dentist will prepare the tooth for a crown. This generally involves removing a portion of the damaged tooth and shaping what remains so that the crown will fit properly.<\/p>\r\n
Then comes the impression or digital scan. The dental lab needs this information to make your crown so that there is usually a short waiting period to get them ready.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Usually pretty quick and compared to the Root Canal<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 The crown is checked for the bite and minor adjustments<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A temporary crown can be a little uncomfortable at first. You will forget it is even there after a little while.<\/p>\r\n
How Long Does the Whole Timeline Take?<\/p>\r\n
For people the timeline looks approximately like this:<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Root Canal first and the tooth is cleaned and sealed up before any permanent work is done.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A week or two for the crown process although lab time and your dentists schedule dictates this.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Permanent Crown at the fitting appointment assuming the tooth is ready.<\/p>\r\n
Sometimes the crown is sooner. Sometimes the dentist wants to be sure the tooth heals up a little. If the tooth is missing a lot of structure you may need to have it reinforced before the crown is placed.<\/p>\r\n
