No. Depending what stage of treatment you are in you may not need anesthesia.
This question isn't as easy to answer as it seems. First- an implant has no nerves so the simplistic answer is to say that NO, there is no pain with getting a crown on an implant.
But it can be more complicated than that.
If your implant is still covered by tissue then the dentist may need to laser that tissue away to get a good scan or impression. For that you may want to quest numbing.
Also when the crown is delivered, often times a great crown will compress the tissues on the sides as it is seated so that you will not have spaces that catch food. That can be a lot of pressure. Please let your dentist know when you feel that pressure and then should stop for a few seconds until the tissue stops blanching and then apply a little pressure again. This is the best method for a superior crown. Do not grin and bare it. That isn't the best for anyone.
I hope this answers your question.

Communication is key. Be sure to communicate how you are doing throughout your treatment to your dentist. You should be very comfortable during your procedure. I ask my patient's to raise their left hand if they need me to stop for any reason whether that be they have a question, are feeling something uncomfortable, have to use the facilities or just need a little break. Crown and Implant procedures are typically very comfortable procedures. Good luck!
Not at all. You may feel some pressure but you will not even need any anesthetic/numbing to put a crown on an implant. Dr. Totonchi
Normally you even wont feel that and you dont need an anesthesia.
Once an implant heals in the bone, all prosthetic work as crown impressions and placement doesn't need any numbing as typically there's no pain evolved
Hi No, it shouldn't be painful. It's not a surgical procedure, not invasive.
A normal implant crown should NOT hurt. It should feel like a natural tooth. That being said, sometimes getting a tooth removed in preparation for an implant can hurt and your surgeon might decide to give you pain relievers. If your implant is hurting after the healing process is completed, you NEED to visit a dentist office IMMEDIATELY. This could be a sign that your implant/abutment/crown need additional treatment. I hope this helps! Dr P
Since the implant has no nerves, placing a crown on it generally does not hurt. Sometimes the gums around the implant may feel tender due to the pressure from the new crown placement.
No it does not if the implant is good and integrated with the bone .
