Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth is numbed with local anesthesia during preparation, so you won't feel pain, though mild sensitivity is normal for a week or two afterward.
How long does a crown procedure take?
It typically requires two appointments about 1-1.5 hours each, one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to fit the final crown.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, crowns typically last 10-15 years or even longer before needing replacement.
Can I eat normally with a temporary crown?
You should avoid sticky or hard foods on that side until your permanent crown is placed, to prevent dislodging the temporary one.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes, modern crown materials are shade-matched and shaped to blend with your natural teeth, and your dentist will make adjustments at the fitting visit for a comfortable, natural look.
