Dental Crowns

Typically, Dr. Adelpour can install a traditional tooth crown in two office visits, and here’s a typical timeline of a dental crown procedure:

• Examination: Dr. Adelpour will perform a physical examination of the tooth in question. This might include taking digital x-rays and testing the health of the tooth in other ways.
• Preparation: If needed, our minimally invasive dentist will use lasers to quickly remove any unwanted or infected tissue.
• Digital impressions: Then, our dentist will use the iTero 5D scanner to create digital impressions of the prepared and surrounding teeth in a more comfortable way than traditional dental molds.
• Temporary crown placement: Dr.  Adelpour will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth until the permanent crown is placed.
• Lab creation: Lab technicians will craft a custom-made crown within a few weeks.
• Second visit: When the crown arrives at our Wilshire Blvd office, we will call you back for a second visit so that Dr. Adelpour can bond the dental crown.
