Restorative DentistryQuestions

Why do my 4 anterior crowns feel tight? Is this normal after placement?

Anterior crowns that feel tight are not normal and indicate potential issues with fit, margins, or occlusion. This sensation could be due to improper crown dimensions, high occlusal contacts, inflammatory response, or inadequate proximal contacts. A dental evaluation is necessary for adjustment to prevent long-term complications.

I have been feeling discomfort in a new anterior dental crown. When should I be concerned?

While mild discomfort in a new anterior dental crown may be normal for 1-2 weeks after placement, you should be concerned if you experience persistent or worsening pain, temperature sensitivity lasting beyond 2 weeks, pain when biting, visible gum inflammation, mobility in the crown, or any signs of infection. These symptoms require prompt dental evaluation.
