and size of damaged teeth. Dental crowns can be screwed or cemented depending on the procedure
being used.

crown is prepared a temporary crown will be placed. Once the crown is ready it will be cemented
in the affected tooth.

porcelain fracture. The screwed method allows the specialist to easily recover the crown in case
of maintenance or fracture.
