Question

I am thinking of getting my front 6 crowned (thats the only viable cosmetic solution). How do they feel in your mouth in the front? I know they wont feel normal but how can it be described? Also do they hurt from time to time since you had your teeth shaved down?

Positive Negative

They feel just like normal teeth. There may be some slight discomfort right after the tooth has been prepared and again after the crown is attached, but it goes away within a week or so, and often isn't even noticeable except momentarily at random intervals. Typically just a little soreness of the gums near the site.
