Receiving a dental crown is a virtually painless process. Your dentist will administer a local anesthetic beforehand to numb the area to ensure you don’t feel any pain. If your dentist provides at their office, they can provide you with dental sedation so you’ll feel relaxed during the procedure. Ask your dentist if they provide sedation dentistry.
It’s normal to experience mild soreness after the numbness fades, but any pain will subside within a few days. You can use cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medications to relieve any discomfort in the meantime.
