Does it hurt getting a crown on an implant?
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 READ MORE
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.

There are quite a few different ways to fix crooked teeth. Some of it just depends on how crooked the tooth are and your expectations. You can correct crowding orthodontically with Invisalign (clear retainer therapy) or braces. Both are very effective. Sometimes the crowding is a combination of a skeletal and dental problem. When this happens and you're an adult then you may also need a combination of braces andorthognathic surgery. It just depends what result you're looking for. That seems like too much or if you're crowding it's just slight, then veneers might be a better answer for you. There are both composite veneers and porcelain veneers. Both have their pluses and their minuses. Porcelain veneers last longer than composite veneers. But to look natural porcelain veneers require some preparation of the tooth-only 0.5mm. Composite veneers often do not require any preparation of the tooth, but they do not last as long. Both should look amazing if done by the right dentist And honestly, there shouldn't be a huge difference in price. If composite veneers are very inexpensive they are usually quite awful. I've seen some composite veneers that were so badly done that they were causing gum disease and eventually caused the patient to lose their teeth. Everyone deserves a beautiful smile. And often it's not a big change that is needed to make a world of difference! Good luck on your journey towards your smile!
