A big fear for many people regarding their oral care is the anticipated pain. It\u2019s easy to imagine that every service will hurt to get, especially if you\u2019re having a tooth prepared to get a dental crown<\/a>. However, this restorative treatment may be more comfortable than you imagine as your dentist works to ensure you don\u2019t feel much of anything. Here\u2019s what you can expect to feel more confident about the whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Will It Hurt to Get a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s time to get a crown, your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel on all sides of the tooth that needs to be restored. This part of the process helps ensure your results look and feel natural, but people are also worried about it hurting. Thankfully, you shouldn\u2019t feel much of anything during it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be thoroughly numbed beforehand and offered conscious sedation<\/a> to help make it as easy as possible. However, you may feel slight pressure while your provider works. Once that\u2019s all done, then you will get impressions taken and a temporary crown placed. A dental lab will need time to craft your final one, which can take a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it\u2019s ready, then you\u2019ll have a second visit to have it placed. Afterward, you\u2019re all set to show off your results! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can I Do to Manage Any Discomfort?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
