Recovery time after treatment time can vary from patient to patient, however, soreness after treatment can be common.
When your dentist prepares your tooth for a dental crown, they will shave about 1mm of enamel and dentin from around your tooth. This "prepping" of your tooth can cause some post-appointment sensitivity. Your tooth may be a little achy or sensitive to temperature extremes for 3-4 days post-appointment.
