Bridgeport Dentists Crown Procedure:
· Bridgeport Dentists will make a dental impression of each tooth
and provide a temporary crown
· At a return visit two weeks later, Bridgeport Dentists will cement
permanent crowns to teeth
· Filling might be added before the crown because of tooth decay
or weakened tooth structure
