    Crown preparation removes tooth structure and is irreversible. Possible risks include sensitivity, nerve inflammation or later root canal treatment, decay at the margin, gum problems, fracture and loosening.

    Temporary tenderness or sensitivity can occur. Follow your dentist’s aftercare advice and contact the practice about persistent symptoms.

    Alternatives may include a filling, onlay, monitoring or extraction, depending on the tooth. Maintenance, repairs and replacement can involve further costs.

    Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
