Crowning Procedure: How long does putting on permanent crown usually take?
• Crowns and Pregnancy: I went to the dentist at the beginning of the month to get a crown on my front tooth. I am still waiting for the permanent tooth. I’m concerned with pregnancy. If I am pregnant I will know the day of the procedure of putting in my porcelain/permanent tooth. I wasn’t concerned because they said it would take 2 weeks for the whole procedure, but it’s been dragging…so I continued trying unaware that it would take this long. If I AM pregnant, can I finish getting the crown put in? Do they have to numb me or do you think with some heavy breathing and meditation I can pull through with the cementing of the tooth? …Visitor from PA (answer) • Dark Line between Gums and Crowns: I have 12 crowns including front teeth that have a definite line. Some were showing when I first received crowns. Now it is much much worse. Is there any procedure available to fill in this space other than all new crowns, which is too costly? It is so unsightly. …Visitor from KS (answer) •
The answer is seating a crown varies from a few minutes to half an hour. It depends on what specific adjustments the individual dentist wishes to accomplish. It is up to the dentist to do any final modifications to the prescription crown that he/she ordered to be manufactured. It also depends on the specific type of crown and the specific requirements of the luting or cementing agents used. I hope this gives you more useful information.
