The visit may include an examination, radiograph, preparation, digital scan, computer design, milling, try-in, bite adjustment, and final cementation. Laboratory work or additional treatment may require another visit.
When does a damaged tooth need urgent dental care?
Seek care promptly for a cracked, painful, or broken tooth, especially with swelling, fever, or difficulty opening the mouth, swallowing, or breathing.

Ask whether the tooth needs a buildup or root canal treatment and which ceramic and workflow fit its position and bite.
