Dental Crown Procedure

Learn the basics of a common dental crown placement.

The only pain I felt during this procedure was keeping my mouth wide open for so long lol.

For those wondering if this procedure hurts: no. For a temporary crown, they'll numb you with the needle. For the permanent crown, you won't be numbed, the temporary crown will be popped off and your tooth will be cleaned.
if your temporary crown falls off, GO BACK and get it re-glued, seriously. Do not wait, do not brush your teeth or eat/floss/mouthwash because you'll risk eroding the root canal.
Temporary crown will feel WEIRD since it's generally plastic and soft. If you have it on a molar, chewing will be a bit funny.
For permanent crowns, it'll feel funny for a few days until your gums stop being inflamed, then you won't feel it at all, it'll feel just like a normal tooth but a little smoother.
IF the procedure hurts at all, you have NOT been numbed up enough and need to get more.

Got my temporary crown a few days ago. Completely painless. I didn't need to get numbed up. The temporary crown looked and felt like my real tooth instantly. No irritation at all afterwards. My dentist is the best 😊

I always watch these kind of videos animated. Makes it less gross

I had my temporary crown replaced with a permanent today and I had ZERO pain and ZERO pressure. No numbing involved. I was stressed going into this because I hate the dentist BUT seriously, don’t be afraid of a temporary to permanent. It does not hurt and if it does, you either have very sensitive gums OR your dentist isn’t doing something right!!

Got my temporary crown in today. It didn’t hurt, it was just really uncomfortable, between keeping my mouth open, not chocking on my own saliva and tooth dust, and listening to Ed Sheeran play during the whole process. It’s hard to say which of those hurt the most

For anyone curious about this it doesnt hurt that bad, they worst parts are the numbing needles, and basically eating drilled off tooth

3 weeks! I got everything done in same day along with a root canal. I guess it helped that my crown was in the same office. Entire process took about 3 hours

I had 4 crowns put in 6 months ago for four teeth that I had root canals redone on (one of my front teeth also had very minimal cracking and the nerves in it were completely dead). I had an accident on my trampoline when I was 10 years of age where my mouth hit the metal frame of the trampoline. Got the root canals a month after, then many years later got them redone and then the crowns. Very expensive, but I do not regret it one bit. I was so insecure about my smile because one of my front teeth was dark due to the dead nerves. I never showed my teeth in photos and was really self conscious whenever I laughed. Sadly I will have to get them replaced and pay the exorbitant amount again. TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH PEOPLE. Brush+floss well twice a day

Me watching dental procedure videos when i should be studying for my finals🧍‍♀️

[sonysony]

I did today. Dr. Gave me 4 shot in mouth still hurting. I hate drill part.
& told me this tooth is on high risk bcz already thin & saw some cracks. But we can try to save. Last week he did oth tooth crown. Coming in 3 weeks.
I paid a lot of money$$. Don’t have dental insurance
Hope this crown stay 20 years 👍

about to have my permanent crown placed. when I got my temporary crown, they numbed me in two spots. tiny pinch per usual but nothing i cared for/just routine. they started by removing my temporary filling and gave me a permanent filling the same way a cavity would be filled. after that, they took a drill and gently drilled around my tooth to file it down for the crown. after it was drilled, they created a mold (the same mold you would for creating braces) and placed it to my tooth to create a mold for the temporary crown. although i had no pain at all during the whole thing, my numbing wore off after the mold so I was experiencing a lot of stinging/irritation around the tooth where the packing cord was placed. I asked the dentist assistant about my pain and asked for more numbing, but she blew it off since we were already almost done 🙁 so i was like complaining and hurting for maybe an hour following the appointment just cuz the gums around my tooth were stinging, but it wore off quickly and i had no pain in that area the following hour. the temporary crown just feels like your regular tooth except it’s smoother and has none of that regular tooth rigid texture on top. in the next hour i’m getting my permanent!! excited, heard it’s much quicker and doesn’t need numbing.

Yea guys I went through this procedure too, it’s ok, there’s no need to worry, my doctors took me through the procedure like a baby in a park. It’s nice quick and simple, it’s just the task of keeping your mouth open for a long time 😂 you jaw will get tired, so it’s ok to ask the doctor if you can close your mouth, other than than this was a great experience!

[avigindratt]

This was the most painful dental procedure I ever had. Esp that first visit. Took like 3 hrs, and I think I had a small infection afterwards but they gave me some antibiotics or something &everything resolved perfectly.

[PerrincinaSprecaci]

I'm supposed to have this done tomorrow and I'm absolutely terrified. I don't know why, I just feel like this is an unnecessary scam. They told me it's a permanent fix but all the research I'm doing says crowns only last 5-10 years.

[topazmartinez]

I got 3 root canals and crowns, ngl tho the temporary crowns are annoying but once you get the permanent ones they feel so natural I sometimes forget they're there 😅

[Sjo]

First time watching bcoz today am going to fix my dental crown 5 days back root canal done today tooth cap to avoid fear and self motivation

[elricsyao]

I had this done two years ago. It didn't hurt but I had to have three different numbing injections during the procedure. Afterwards, the crown ached for like a week straight but that may have been because I had to geet a filling replaced as wwell. My natural hair color is red and that apparently reflects the metabolism of drugs in the system and how effective numbing medication is
