Your Questions, Answered
It depends on which tooth it is, how infected it is and the crown you choose. We give you a clear estimate after the X-ray, before we begin.
The tooth is numbed, so you’ll usually feel pressure rather than pain, and treatment aims to relieve the pain you came in with. Mild tenderness for a day or two is normal.
One to three visits of 45–90 minutes, depending on the tooth and the infection.
For back teeth, yes. They become brittle and can crack without one. Front teeth sometimes need only a filling.
With a good seal, a crown and regular check-ups, it can last many years.
Antibiotics can calm the swelling for a while, but the infection stays inside the tooth until it’s cleaned out.
Yes. Most people go back to their day as usual.
