Missing and broken teeth are not only unsightly, but they also make chewing and speaking difficult. We can help you replace missing teeth in a variety of ways at Tooth Matters, including dental crowns and bridges.
Bridges and crowns have evolved to look like your natural teeth as technology advances, and many patients’ self-confidence has been restored due to dental crowns and bridges.
Post-operative instructions after crown and bridge work
- Sensitivity to cold and pressure is common for a few days after the dental procedure. Usually, the deeper the cavity, the more sensitive the tooth will be.
- Many crowns fit below the gum line. Because of that you may have some discomfort for a few days due to irritation of the gum during the procedure.
- Your temporary crown plays an important role in protecting your tooth and holding the space for your permanent crown or bridge.
- If the temporary crown comes off or loosens between appointments, please try to place it back with denture adhesive and call for an appointment.
- Avoid eating sticky foods and hard foods (caramel, chewing gum, hard candy) on the side of the mouth with a temporary crown.
