The Procedure of Crowns and Bridges.

• Crowns: The patients are made to undergo multiple digital imaging tests. This helps to take the proper measurements required for the crown. It is sent to the laboratory to accurately fabricate the crown required for the tooth. The dentist scrapes out the outer layer of the natural tooth, after which the crown is affixed on the tooth. It is polished to match the color of the natural tooth. 
• Bridges: The dentists do multiple digital imaging tests for the patients, which help to plan the treatment better. The mold for the dentures is fabricated by taking the impressions of the upper and lower gums. It provided the size, shape, and color as discussed by the patient. Once the dentures have been fabricated, they are waxed to the gums of the patients.
