Dr. Nusblatt custom-designs crowns to make your whole body happier. Our team places your new dental crown in only two appointments.
During the first appointment, Dr. Nusblatt examines your teeth, takes dental X-rays, removes any decay, and then removes a layer of tooth enamel to make room for the crown. When your tooth is prepared, he makes an impression to send to a lab to create your permanent crown and then fashions a temporary cap to cover the tooth while you wait for your new dental crown.
In about two weeks, you return to the office so Dr. Nusblatt can cement your permanent crown in place after ensuring its proper fit.
