Procedure for dental crown should not be painful

The procedure for getting a crown should not be painful. You will be anesthesized to make sure you're comfortable. You can also take a few short breaks to close your mouth and relax your jaw. Overall, this should be a comfortable appointment. Best, Dr. Elizabeth Jahanian
