This procedure generally requires 2 appointments to complete. It is common for patients to experience tooth sensitivity, gum soreness, and general discomfort with the teeth after undergoing this procedure. However, these symptoms typically resolve after the placement of the permanent crown.

While your temporary crown is in place, it’s important to avoid chewing sticky or hard foods. Temporary crowns are placeholders and are typically made of plastic or soft metal. Once your permanent crown is in place, you may experience some pressure for several days, and your bite may feel different. If these sensations persist for longer than two or three days, please call our office immediately.
