The second crown appointment usually takes around 30-45 minutes for most patients. This timeframe can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the crown, any adjustments needed, and the patient's overall oral health. If the crown does not fit properly, the dentist may use a drill to fix it and check the fit again before cementing the crown in place.
The first visit, which focuses on preparing the tooth and making an impression, is typically about an hour or an hour and a half. During this time, the dentist shapes the tooth, takes an impression, and places a temporary crown to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
