When a patient gets dental caps from their local dental professional, it can change their day-to-day life for the better. For this reason, many people cannot wait to get their new dental caps. Weeki Wachee residents might be expected to make an appointment and walk out in an hour or more with their tooth transformed, but this is never the case. At minimum, a person is going to have to make two appointments in order to get one or more dental caps that are going to fit properly in order to offer the best protection.
An Initial Visit for Preparation
The main reason why a patient will need at least two visits to their dentist before they will have new dental caps is because they have to be made and fitted on the tooth that needs additional support. When making new dental caps, Weeki Wachee dental professionals will first have to make an imprint of the troubled tooth, often with a special paste or putty, which is then sent off to a lab to be turned into a cap made from various materials, depending on the recommendation of the patient’s dental professional. Additionally, teeth often need to be reshaped before they can be fitted with a dental crown or cap.
A Second Visit for Dental Caps
After a dentist takes imprints and gets those imprints made out of a strong material, they are going to have to ask their patient to come back in order to get their new dental caps. Weeki Wachee residents should know that the process of getting a dental cap does not take long at all, but it can take more than an hour if someone is getting more than one tooth capped at a time. The newly created dental cap is going to have to be cemented to the teeth that had to be reshaped. This process will take no longer than someone who was supposed to get a filling for a cavity.
