What’s happening in this Animation?

The procedure typically begins with the dentist gently shaping the tooth to remove any decay and create space for the crown. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression or digital scan is taken to capture its exact shape and bite alignment. This is sent to a dental laboratory, where your crown is crafted to match the colour and contour of your natural teeth.

At a follow-up visit, the dentist checks the fit and appearance of the crown before bonding it securely in place. The final result restores the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance—allowing you to bite and smile with confidence. Crowns are commonly used after large fillings, fractures, or root canal treatment, and can be made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal depending on your needs.
