If the sensitivity lasts more than three weeks go back and see your dentist.
It is not unusual for a tooth to be sensitive for several days after a crowns is cemented over it. Depending on how deep the decay was even a month or two. The catch is that that it should feel better and better. If it is growing in intensity or duration the nerve inside the tooth may not be doing well. See your if it is not getting better
Crowns will not be sensitive unless you had a very deep cavity or traumatic problem that was not improved significantly with a good temporary crown.
Careful techniques to do the final cementation will minimize sensitiviry.
Make sure the final crown is not hitting the opposing tooth before and it is fitting properly.

Hello,
Teeth can be sensitive after getting a crown; however, most are not after getting a crown. There are a few things to consider. Did the tooth that is getting a crown have a root canal on it? If this is the case, you should have no sensitivity in the tooth itself, but possibility of very slight sensitivity in the gums. Has the tooth been bothering you recently? If this is the case, you may have sensitivity after the crown is prepared.
Hope this helps.
My best to you!

It shouldn't be sensitive too long. If it persists for more than two weeks, get back to your dentist to have it evaluated.
It really depends what the source of the sensitivity. The nerve in the tooth can be sensitive from the procedure and cementation and that could just be a temporary situation, and would differ from person to person. Thus would be true if the nerve is only inflamed but no severe damage. In the case where the nerve had suffered irreversible damage or inflammation, then it will only get worse or even need a root canal treatment. It is hard to determine the state of health by X-ray exam, but rather the degree of the symptoms. Generally, if the symptoms are getting less snd less, generally it will recover, but only time will tell. If the bite is checked and removed as any source of discomfort, that would help the assessment.
They are usually not sensitive at all. When they are sensitive, it is variable depending on the reason for the sensitivity. It could be a week, month, or longer.
Sometimes it is not sensitive at all. If you do experience sensitivity it usually goes away with in a few weeks

It depends of the reason why do you need a crown. Sometimes your tooth could be sensitive up to a month but after that should settle and all come back to normal.
It should not be sensitive
