This means you shouldn\u2019t feel any discomfort during your appointment. They may even provide you with sedation dentistry to further reduce your ability to register pain as well as keep you calmer throughout your visit. The anesthetic should wear off gradually, so you likely won\u2019t feel much of the area for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though you should experience a stress-free procedure, it\u2019s normal to feel some sensitivity and tenderness around your tooth for a couple of weeks. This is because your nerves will need to get accustomed to the anatomical changes. This can easily be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Your restoration is meant to protect the compromised tooth, so it should help alleviate discomfort and sensitivity in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Essential Benefits of Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By restoring your damaged tooth with a dental crown, you should expect to appreciate several benefits from the treatment, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><strong>Pain relief<\/strong> \u2013 <\/strong>A tooth that\u2019s been decayed or injured is more likely to experience discomfort whenever exposed to hot\/cold temperatures and excessive pressure. Your dental cap will cover and keep it safe from these sensations, minimizing any pain in the area.<\/li><li><strong>Swift treatment process<\/strong> \u2013 It should only take a few weeks to complete your dental crown procedure, as you\u2019ll need to wait to receive your final restoration. Afterward, you should enjoy your results for 10+ years if you practice proper care.<\/li><li><strong>Improved appearance<\/strong> \u2013 Other than protecting your underlying tooth, a crown can also be designed to correct other dental flaws, such as stains and irregular shapes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what to expect from your treatment, you shouldn\u2019t have any worries going into your appointment. Thanks to modern dental technology, you\u2019ll be able to undergo a painless process for long-lasting tooth repair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Christel Cochell attained her dental doctorate from the Oregon Health &amp; Science University in Portland.
