Based on what you hear on TV, in movies, and on the Internet, you may think that it\u2019ll really hurt. Thankfully, though, such a belief is untrue. Besides some mild post-treatment soreness, getting a dental crown shouldn\u2019t hurt at all. Rather, the only lasting thing it\u2019ll do is make your smile better than ever. To prove it, here\u2019s a summary of what you\u2019ll feel from treatment and what to expect during your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How a Dental Crown Treatment Feels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A traditional crown treatment requires two separate appointments: the preparation visit and the final placement. Neither of these steps will cause you any pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The preparation appointment removes some of your tooth\u2019s enamel so the future crown can fit over it. However, you\u2019ll be numbed with an anesthetic so that you won\u2019t feel anything from this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the removal, your dentist will take an impression of your tooth. Workers at a dental lab will use this impression to make a handcrafted crown. While you wait for the final prosthetic, your dentist will give you a temporary one to wear between appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your dentist receives the permanent crown, you\u2019ll return for your second visit. At that time, they\u2019ll cement it in place. Of course, they\u2019ll first remove the temporary crown and confirm the new one\u2019s color, shape, and fit. Doing so will ensure no adjustments are necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This final placement won\u2019t hurt. To be safe, though, your dentist may use a numbing agent to ensure you\u2019re as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect During Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your tooth will be significantly adjusted during the crowning process, so it\u2019ll likely feel a bit tender for a few weeks afterward. Still, an over-the-counter pain reliever will be more than enough for that sensitivity. Plus, any soreness will improve after just a few days. If necessary, your dental practice can also give you after-care tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, a dental crown procedure would heal your tooth without causing harm. Talk to your local dentist about it so you can get a better smile pain-free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.docronan.com\/meet-dr-ronan-freyne.html\">Dr. Ronan Freyne<\/a> is a dentist based in Chevy Chase, MD, having earned his DMD from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
