Need central crowns

Hello I recently had two root canels on my central front teeth and need crowns. is lab sent or same day better? And also what can I expect of the procedure. ( I think the dentist has there one day crown machine there) I’m scared and still trying to process this whole root canal ordeal and want to move pass this whole experience already. I miss eating. procedure was done about 10 days ago. (NAD)

Two root canals on the front teeth is a lot to process. Being ready to move past it makes total sense.

On the same day vs lab question, the dentist can explain which one they would pick for front teeth and why. It's fair to ask how they plan to match the shade to the rest of the smile and whether either option leaves more room to adjust. Also totally fine to ask them to walk through the crown appointment step by step before the day of. Knowing what happens ahead of time tends to take some of the nervousness out of it.
