Getting a crown, implant, bridge, or dentures is usually a multi-step process because the artificial teeth have to be made in a dental laboratory, and that takes time. It could take a few weeks to get your dentures or crown back from the dental lab so your dentist can complete your dental work. Here's a look at the process.
The Dentist Makes Impressions Of Your Teeth
The first step is when your dentist makes impressions of your teeth.
Dental implants are a popular solution for people who have lost one, two, or several teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons. This procedure involves surgically inserting a small titanium post into the actual jaw, which acts as a replacement for the missing tooth root. The post is then fitted with a crown, bridge, or denture to complete the restoration. While dental implants can seem like a costly investment, they offer numerous benefits that make them a worthwhile investment in your oral health, especially when compared to less permanent options that have been more popular in the past.
