How Long is a Dental Crown Procedure?

Good morningWill use a system called CerecThis means we can avoid the horrible impression, that can make you gagInstead your tooth is scanned after the preparation and the crown in made on site within 20 minutesThus the whole procedure from start to finish takes just 70-80 minutes and 20 minutes of this is relaxing, drinking tea or coffee in the waiting room

A crown procedure in our office entails two appointments.  The first is an hour long, during which we will remove decay, build the foundation filling, shape the tooth for the crown, and depending on your comfort, either take an impression or scan your teeth to send information to our professional dental lab.  You will leave our office with a temporary crown, and the lab then takes about two weeks to design your crown.  We opt to use an outside lab for creating the final crown as opposed to making it in the office, because they have the top-of-the-line team/equipment/materials to provide us with the best product.  Once the crown is done, you'll come back to see us for a quick 30-minute crown fitting where we'll cement it on for you.  Voila!

The time it takes to do a single tooth crown can vary by the doctor, but typically, the appointment from start to finish will take anywhere from 60-90 minutes. The actual preparing of the tooth only takes 5-10 minutes. The rest of the appointment is usually paperwork, anesthesia, impressions, fabricating the temporary crown, etc. 

There are one visit crown options available that some dentists will allow you to have a final treatment done in the same day, though there may be quite some waiting during that day to have the crown made and fitted. 
There are limitations to these in aesthetics and also in many studies that actual fit of these same-day crowns can be variable. 
Normal crowns dependent on the complexity take around an hour to prepare, and create a temporary/take moulds. The fit stage is then usually about 30 minutes. Good luck with your treatment. Thomas Dey, BDS, MSc

A crown will consist of two appointments.  First appt will take approx 2 hours and the seat appt takes approx 30 minutes.

Hi:Normally, if there is no complication from start to finish a crown procedure takes 60 minutes.Best,Dr. Maddahi

In our office we use the Cerec crown system. Total chair time is approximately 2 hours. No temporary crown.  The final crown is seated that same day. 

It can depend, but I would be prepared to be in the chair for 1.5-2 hours. Each step during the crown process is to ensure a good quality end result and comfort while in the temporary phase. A little more time in the chair can be worth it for a better quality result!

Depending on a difficulty of the case, in my office it can take no more  60-80 minutes from start to finish.

Usually the procedure takes about an hour in my office.  There are times that it takes longer though and that all depends on the condition of the tooth, for example if the tooth needs a Core Build Up prior to preparing the tooth for the crown.  Core Build up is a filling under the crown that replaces decayed tooth structure.  

Hello, 

A dental crown procedure really depends upon many factors including access to the tooth, anesthesia, patient compliance and etc. You should estimate around 30 minutes though. Hope this answer helps!
