Patients who are considering dental crowns in Winston-Salem often want to know how long the process takes from start to finish. While timelines vary based on the type of crown and the individual’s specific needs, most traditional crowns require two visits spaced about two to three weeks apart.
During the first appointment, Dr. Peter Pryor reshapes the affected tooth, removes weakened or decayed areas, and takes precise impressions. At this point, he places a temporary crown to protect the tooth while a custom crown is crafted in a dental lab. Once the final crown is ready, the second visit involves removing the temporary restoration, checking the fit, bite, and color of the custom crown, and then permanently bonding it in place.
Dr. Pryor prioritizes accuracy, durability, and esthetics to ensure your crown fits naturally and functions effectively for many years. The result is a strong, lifelike restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
