“A piece of this front tooth broke off. We shaped the tooth and placed a crown made in a lab.”

How it usually goes

  1. Pick the color — We match it to your other teeth.

  2. Shape the tooth — We take off a thin layer all around.

  3. Put the crown on — A lab makes it to fit. It may take 1–2 weeks.

Quick questions

Why wait for a lab crown?

A lab can match the shape and color closely. It may take 1–2 weeks.

Will it match my teeth?

We pick a color that blends in.

Do I need one?

Only an exam can tell. Let's take a look.

Every smile is different. An exam tells us what's right for you.
