Crown/Veneer Care and Warranty

Congratulations on your new dental crown! To ensure optimal longevity and comfort, please follow these recommendations: 

**Initial Post-Operative Care:**

– Any gum sensitivity, tenderness, or soreness should resolve within a few days.

– Refrain from eating or drinking for one hour after the crown is cemented.

– Avoid hard or sticky foods for a minimum of 72 hours until the cement has fully set.

**Post-Operative Discomfort:**

– Your new crown may feel tight or press against adjacent teeth for several days. This discomfort will gradually subside.

– The bite may experience a slight adjustment for a few days. However, if the bite persists as uneven or causes discomfort even after one week, please contact our office promptly.

**Differences in the Crown:**

– The new crown may have a slightly different contour and texture compared to the original tooth. This difference is often magnified by the tongue, but it will become familiar within a few days.

**Oral Hygiene:**

– Maintain twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing to prevent gum disease around the new crown. Flossing is particularly crucial for preserving the health of the crown.

**Crown Dislodgment:**

– Crown dislodgment is a common occurrence. If this happens, please report to the dental office within one to two days for recementation. If you are out of town, seek the assistance of any nearest dentist for re-cementation. Re-cementation charges will apply after one year..

Follow-ups and Warranty

**Mandatory Dental Care and Warranty**

Regular dental care is essential for maintaining oral health. To ensure your long-term well-being, we recommend scheduling a mandatory dental cleaning and follow-up examination every six months. These appointments are complimentary and serve as an opportunity for your dentist to identify any potential complications or oral-related issues that may arise after a more extensive dental procedure.

To uphold the validity of this warranty, it is crucial that you adhere to the established checkup and cleaning schedule. Failure to do so may result in the termination of the warranty coverage.

**Warranty Coverage:**

This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship, including installation, with the following exceptions:

Discoloration or failure of the crown due to caries (cavity/decay), smoking, or consumption of staining liquids and foods.

– Additional treatments associated with the procedure, such as fillings or root canals.

**Warranty Duration:**

The warranty period commences from the date the crown is delivered and continues until the date of its replacement or until the end of the Consenting Treatment Plan, whichever occurs first.

To maintain the warranty coverage, you must remain a patient of Dental Zone for the duration of the following dental procedures:

– Veneer placement

– Crown placement

– Bridge placement

**Cleaning Appointment Requirements:**

Regular patients are required to schedule two dental cleanings per year. Perio-compromised patients are required to schedule three to four dental cleanings per year. 

By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure that your dental care is comprehensive and effective, and you can maximize the benefits of the warranty coverage.
