A truncated conical dental drill bit is disclosed to facilitate the preparation of a tooth prior to installation of a dental crown. The drill bit includes a stem connected to an upper disc which, in turn, is connected to a downwardly extending sidewall having a conical configuration. The sidewall terminates at a lower edge and undersurfaces of the sidewall and upper disc are coated with abrasive material, such as diamond particles. The size of the drill bit is chosen for the particular tooth in need of repair and a single downward drilling operation is required to form a truncated conical configuration or crown receiving surface on the tooth. A measurement gauge is disclosed for measuring the tooth in need of repair and selecting the appropriate size truncated conical dental drill bit. A gingival cord application tool is also disclosed which facilitates the separation of the gingiva from the tooth prior to the taking of the impression of the prepared tooth for purposes of crown fabrication
