Getting a tooth crown with Dr. Vazquez is a straightforward, stress-free experience thanks to skill and decades of experience. However, we understand your concerns, so here’s some information to put your mind at rest.
The Dental Crown Process
First Visit: Tooth Preparation
- We will completely numb the tooth before beginning any work.
- You'll feel pressure but not pain during preparation.
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for anxious patients.
After this appointment, you may experience mild sensitivity to temperature changes or slight gum tenderness for a few days. These sensations are normal and typically resolve quickly with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Second Visit: Crown Placement
- Placing the final crown usually requires minimal or no anesthesia.
- Most patients describe this visit as quick and comfortable.
After final placement, there might be a brief adjustment period as you get used to the feel of your new crown, but most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
Dr. Vazquez prioritizes your comfort through thorough numbing, gentle techniques, and digital imaging, which reduces the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions.
