Dr Eva fitted a crown for me and It didn't hurt a bit! I have a phobia about needles, especially big ones that go into the gums. I had to go through this twice to have a crown, once moving the temp filling to take impressions, then again a week later for the crown.
The second time was easy as I didn't sit in the chair trembling like an infant. The first time was painless as was the second. The crown's good also. Charming lady with a wonderful manner and a good sense of humour. Can hardly say I enjoyed it, but nearly.
