After Crown or Bridge

After Crown or Bridge Treatment

After your first appointment for crown or bridge treatment, a temporary crown is usually placed on the tooth or teeth involved. The temporary crown protects while the custom crown is being produced. Temporary cement is used so that the crown can be easily removed at your next appointment.

If your temporary crown comes off before your next appointment, place the temporary back on your tooth and call your office.

With your temporary crown and with your permanent crown, you may experience some discomfort due to irritation of the area during the treatment procedures. You may also notice sensitivity to cold or pressure.

After your new permanent crown is in place you may need a few days to adjust to it. If you feel the bite is not correctly balanced, please call for an appointment and we can adjust it.

Care for your new crown with proper brushing and flossing. It is especially important to keep the edge of the crown clean at the gumline.
