Crowns

Crowns are prescribed when a tooth or teeth are too badly decayed, broken or cracked and cannot be easily restored with a filling. They are usually needed for teeth that have undergone a root canal or used with implants to replace missing teeth. Typically, crowns are made entirely of gold, or porcelain fused to a gold substrate for strength as well as beauty. However, new advances make it possible for us to make a high-strength ceramic and porcelain crown that gives a beautiful, durable, natural result.

Screening

• All patients are asked about their current health and exposure to COVID-19.

• Temperature is taken for every patient when they arrive for their appointment.

• All Orchard Meadows Family Dental team members answer the same screening questions at the beginning of each workday.

• Team members also record their temperature when entering the building and when leaving the office at the end of the day.

Social Distancing

• Lobby and other areas are configured to ensure at least six feet of separation for everyone waiting for their appointment.

• Patients are asked to come to their appointment alone and if that is not possible – i.e.: small children, the elderly, or anyone that needs assistance – the accompanying individual must go back to the treatment room.

• No one can wait in the lobby for a patient that is undergoing treatment.
