Does getting a crown hurt?

Crown preparation is done with local anesthetic, so most patients feel pressure and vibration rather than pain. The tooth and gum can be sensitive for a few days afterward. Sensitivity that lasts more than a couple of weeks should be checked by your dentist.

How long does it take to get a crown?

Traditional crowns require two visits over 2-3 weeks. Same-day CEREC crowns are completed in one 2-hour appointment using computer-aided manufacturing.
