It's Groundhog Day!
Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow this morning, which means, according to the legend, six more weeks of winter are on the way.
If you are a winter lover then you may be able to hit the slopes longer and build more snowman. If your prefer the warmer temps it may be time to book a ticket south or restock your firewood and hot chocolate stash!

So you need a crown? Here is what you can expect:
Getting a crown on your tooth takes 2 visits. On visit one, we gently shape the tooth, take a precise scan, and place a custom made temporary crown on your tooth so you can leave with a full smile. Your permanent crown measurements, bite and shade is then sent off to our lab to be created. About 2 weeks later we receive the finished product back from our lab in preparation for visit two.
On visit two, we remove the temporary crown, try in the new crown, adjust your bite, and cement the custom crown in place. It should look and feel like your own tooth and will be ready to use right away!
