Getting a Crown or Bridge: What to Expect

Dental crowns and bridges have different purposes, but the process for getting them is similar:

  1. Initial Consultation — Dr. Baftechi will thoroughly examine your teeth and take digital x-rays to diagnose the problem.
  2. Tooth Preparation — The affected tooth will be cleaned and shaped to fit the crown. In the case of a bridge, we prepare the teeth adjacent to the gap to receive the crowns.
  3. Temporary Restoration — We will place a temporary crown or bridge on your teeth while a dental lab crafts your custom piece.
  4. Custom Restoration — Dr. Baftechi works with only the highest-quality custom dental labs that craft your crown or bridge to our high standards. Thanks to highly accurate digital impressions, you can expect restorations that fit perfectly and look realistic.
  5. Final Placement — Dr. Baftechi will fit and adjust your new crown or bridge for a perfect, natural look.

A quality crown or bridge at our Ashburn, VA, dental office can make a world of difference in your comfort and confidence. Call Posh Smiles today to schedule a convenient appointment to see how we can help you.
