You\u2019ll usually have had the tooth prepared during an earlier appointment. The dentist removes damaged tooth structure and shapes what remains so the crown has a stable surface to sit on. A temporary crown often covers the tooth while the permanent one is being made.<\/p>\r\n
At the cementation visit, the temporary crown comes off. The tooth underneath is cleaned and checked before the permanent crown is tried in. And this trial stage is worth paying attention to. The dentist isn’t simply looking at whether the crown looks nice. They\u2019re checking the fit, contact with nearby teeth, and how your teeth meet when you bite.<\/p>\r\n
Bite pressure is one of those things you notice immediately if it’s wrong. You might feel that the new crown touches first when you close your mouth, or that one side feels strangely high.<\/p>\r\n
A dentist can make small adjustments before final cementation. Honestly, this is one part of the process I wouldn’t rush. A crown that looks perfect but feels wrong when you chew is still a problem.<\/p>\r\n
Right after treatment, the crown can feel different. That’s normal. Your tongue keeps finding it because it’s new, and your bite may feel slightly unfamiliar for a little while.<\/p>\r\n
Some sensitivity can also happen, especially if the tooth was recently prepared. Cold drinks may feel sharper than usual. This often settles as the tooth gets used to the restoration.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Mild sensitivity can happen, especially after recent tooth preparation, though it shouldn’t keep getting worse.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A slightly unfamiliar bite is expected at first. If one tooth keeps hitting before the others, tell your dentist rather than simply putting up with it.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Sticky foods deserve a little caution early on, particularly while the cement is completing its set.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 The crown should feel secure during normal chewing. A loose feeling isn’t something to ignore.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Persistent pain, swelling, or strong sensitivity needs a dental review, especially if it isn’t settling.<\/p>\r\n
After a few days, you should start thinking about the crown less. That’s actually a good sign. It should become part of your normal bite rather than something you keep checking with your tongue.<\/p>\r\n
You can brush and floss around a crowned tooth as part of your normal routine. Good cleaning still matters because the crown doesn’t make the gum around it immune to problems.<\/p>\r\n
A little tenderness is one thing. Pain that sticks around is another. The same goes for a crown that feels loose or a bite that remains noticeably high after you’ve had time to adjust.<\/p>\r\n
Sometimes the solution is surprisingly simple. A small bite adjustment can make a huge difference when a crown feels too high. If the symptoms are stronger or continue, the dentist needs to check the tooth and the surrounding tissues rather than guessing.<\/p>\r\n
