However, as with any kind of dental treatment, people are a little bit concerned about whether getting a dental crown hurts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about discomfort associated with the treatment, here\u2019s some information that could be edifying for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Goes into Getting a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about whether getting a dental crown can be painful, you need to understand what actually goes into getting one. Typically, a dental crown is completed across two appointments a few weeks apart. Here\u2019s what you should know about the prospect of pain across every stage of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The First Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve decided with your dentist what you want the dental crown to look like and the impressions have been taken, they\u2019ll remove enamel from your tooth in order to make room for the dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may make you a little concerned, it shouldn\u2019t bother you. We\u2019ll numb your mouth completely before beginning any kind of dental treatment, which means that you should feel completely comfortable for the duration of the time you spend in the dental chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Temporary Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your tooth has been prepared for the permanent dental crown, you\u2019ll need to protect it for the few weeks until your restoration is being milled in the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, most people will need to wear a temporary crown for a while. This temporary crown will be adhered with a weaker cement than your permanent crown will be. It won\u2019t be quite as effective for the purpose of protecting your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be a little bit sensitive for a couple of days, and you could need to stick to a soft food diet to keep the temporary crown in place. That said, with caution and a little bit of over-the-counter pain medicine you should be able to get through this period in semi-comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Second Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your dental crown is complete, we\u2019ll bring you in and slot it into place. This process should be entirely painless, but if you\u2019re concerned, we\u2019d be happy to administer anesthesia for this as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All told, getting dental crowns is simple and largely painless. Even if you\u2019re someone who is normally concerned about pain, there\u2019s nothing to stand in the way of getting the dental crown you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Phillip Sehnert has been helping people to smile brighter and live better for nearly 40 years.
