“Is it painful to have a crown put on your tooth?”
I will get a dental crown tomorrow. I am afraid. Is it painful to have a crown put on your tooth?

It should not be. You should be getting some form of injection , lidocaine or something like it. If the tooth has already had root canal treatment , you should not need the injection.
It should not be painful to get a crown on your tooth. Sometimes there is minor impingement/ pressure on the gums, but it is not unbearable.
Absolutely, you just cut every bit of the tooth just like having a wound on your arm will take time to heal.
No more pain with a crown than a filling.

Not necessarily. In the majority of the cases, no sensitivity is present. The dentist will ensure that the tooth nerve (pulp) will not be affected before the delivery of the crown.
However, if the tooth has not undergone root canal treatment there is a certain probability of post-operative sensitivity that should be evaluated.

No, it is not painful usually.
You should be fully anesthetized for the procedure so you shouldn't feel any discomfort. If during the procedure you are experiencing any sensitivity, don't hesitate to voice your concerns to the dentist/ assistant. Depending on the office, you can also request laughing gas or other forms of relaxing medication to help you through the appointment.
Not if the preparation is done correctly. Adequate anesthesia is important, and a good fitting temporary crown is essential for a painless experience.
Getting a crown is not a painful process - you get numbed much like getting a filling. Crowns are usually indicated when a root has had a root canal or a tooth is missing a large portion of healthy tooth structure or for fractured teeth. Sensitivity is felt sometimes if the tooth is not treated with a root canal. A little sensitivity may be normal, but if you experience pain or an unusually amount of sensitivity, you should call your dentist to take a look at your temporary crown. The bite may be high or part of the temporary crown may have come off.
Getting a crown for your tooth can be a painless process with adequate anesthesia. We can use nitrous as well to relieve dental anxiety to make the process smoother for you.
Mostly no. The pain level should be close to a filling, although depending on the extent of breakdown further treatment may be required.
It is no more painful than having a filling. Your dentist will use local anesthetic to make sure that the tooth is very numb. Once you are numb, there is more drilling than with a filling, but it feels largely the same. There are simply different and more steps to a crown.
If your tooth has already be prepared for your crown, then your Dentist will simply try in your custom crown to assess the fit before bonding or cementing it on your tooth. If your tooth is vital (i.e. has not had a root canal treatment), then it likely has a temporary crown on it to protect the underlying prepared tooth.
When the dentist removes the temporary crown, the underlying tooth will be sensitive to cold, contact and rinsing. It's typically best to be number via local anesthetic to provide comfort during the crown try-in appointment.
Having your tooth prepared for a crown and crown installation should both be painless procedures and you have the option to be numb or "frozen" for these appointments.
