How long do Dental Crowns take in San Jose?

It usually takes around 4 days in total. You will need to factor in two appointments at the dentist – on the first and last day, with the lab work on your crowns taking place on the days between.

On your first appointment with the dentist your tooth will be prepared for the crown. This usually involves the tooth being filed and then an impression being made of your tooth for the lab to custom-make the crown to fit. Your dentist will also discuss with you at this point what material you want the crown to be made from. There are a variety of different types with advantages and disadvantages. The most affordable and durable are PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns, but you may prefer the more natural-looking zirconia, which are also the most expensive, ultimately the choice will be yours but your dentist will help you reach a decision on what is best for your particular circumstances.

At your second appointment the new crown will be fitted after some minor adjustments by your dentist. When you are both happy with the fit and feel it will be cemented firmly in place.
