Do you have a severely decayed or damaged tooth, or have you recently undergone root canal treatment? If so, there\u2019s a good chance your dentist will fit you with a dental crown<\/a> to preserve your tooth\u2019s functionality while restoring your smile\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These prosthetics are customized to look just like your natural teeth and then are bonded over an injured one to protect it. However, you might avoid scheduling your procedure if you\u2019re worried it will be long or painful. Continue reading to learn more about what sensations to expect when getting a dental crown to set your mind at ease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is Getting a Dental Crown Painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some patients are so afraid of dental procedures that they avoid scheduling them, especially if they involve more complex treatment. It\u2019s natural to worry that restoring a tooth might hurt, but fortunately, that\u2019s not usually the case. Understanding more about the process of getting your dental crown can demonstrate why you don\u2019t need to worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, your dental team will numb the area with a topical anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Some providers also offer different types of sedation to ease even the most anxious worriers. Then, they\u2019ll take X-rays and other images before prepping your tooth by removing a small amount of enamel. This ensures your cap won\u2019t look overly bulky compared to your natural teeth once it\u2019s cemented in place. Finally, they\u2019ll make impressions of your teeth and send the information to a special lab to begin building your artificial tooth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because your pearly white is somewhat vulnerable to thinned enamel, they will provide you with a temporary restoration to wear in the weeks it takes for your permanent one to arrive. Once it does, they\u2019ll schedule you for a fitting to ensure it sits over your tooth correctly before permanently bonding it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Dental Crown Recovery Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typically, the procedure itself does not cause much discomfort, though it\u2019s not uncommon for patients to experience mild to moderate sensitivity after the tooth is prepared. It\u2019s normal to develop some aches as the anesthesia wears off, but thankfully, symptoms can often be alleviated sufficiently with over-the-counter meds like Tylenol or ibuprofen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you experience pain that doesn\u2019t lessen over a few days or gets worse, contact your dentist. You might have developed an infection or other complication that can cause issues. Schedule an appointment with your provider so they can ensure that your mouth is mending as it should!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
