Same Day Tooth Crowns in Pitman
At Pitman Dental we provide same day crowns that are great to fill in gaps, cover teeth, as well as for implants.
You will not need a second appointment, need to take a gooey impression, or have temporary crowns placed while we wait for a dental lab to make your crown.
Crowns are placed over your tooth and are shaped like a tooth. Your dentist first prepares your tooth by shaving it down to properly fit the tooth-shaped cap. An impression is then made and sent out to the lab to prepare your crown.
