Smile Design Care
Congratulations on completing your treatment towards a new, aesthetically pleasing, and functional smile!
Please be advised of the following:
• If temporaries are provided, they will not feel like your final restorations, which will be smoother and more durable. You may experience discomfort due to the trauma of your crown preparation appointment.
• It is normal to experience sensitivity to temperature and chewing until several weeks after your permanent restorations are placed. If the sensitivity is severe or persistent, please contact the office for further instructions. The extent of sensitivity varies depending on the extent of tooth decay, fractures, and older restorations that have been removed.
• Take pain medication as prescribed by our office. If the sensitivity cannot be managed with medication, please contact us for additional guidance.
• Gently brush and rinse your temporaries. If tissue contouring was performed, wait one day before brushing that area. Additionally, warm your toothbrush with hot water to soften the bristles when brushing. Use a WaterFloss machine as instructed to maintain the health of your gum tissues. Massage your gums twice daily for optimal results.
• If your bite feels "high" after the anesthetic wears off, please schedule an adjustment. An improper bite can cause bruising of the ligament around the tooth and may result in extreme sensitivity
Foods to Avoid:
Crowns are more durable and stain-resistant than veneers, but they are not indestructible. Individuals with new veneers and/or crowns should minimize their intake of:
• Nuts, chewy meat, hard candy, and other hard foods that can cause breakage
• Wine, coffee, dark teas, soda, and other beverages that can cause staining
• Sticky candies like caramel, which can loosen the veneers We are committed to providing you with exceptional dental care. Should you have any inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Follow-ups:
Regular dental check-ups and follow-ups are essential for maintaining oral health. You are required to schedule a mandatory dental cleaning and follow-up every six months. These appointments are complimentary and serve as an opportunity for your dentist to examine your teeth and gums for any potential complications or oral-related issues that may arise after a more extensive dental procedure.
Mandatory Follow-Ups:
Regular follow-ups are essential for maintaining oral health. SR Dental Zone recommends visiting the office every six months for check-ups and cleanings.

Request for Mandatory Check-Up:
