Postoperatory Instructions: Crown & Bridge, Crowns, Inlays, or Onlays

If you have not chosen Same-Day Crowns, you will have a temporary crown to wear until your visit to place the final prosthesis.
If your temporary falls off, try and re-cement it with the temporary cement given to you by the assistant. If your temporary breaks, save the pieces and call our Imperial, MO dental office. Do not bite your lips, cheeks, or scrape your gums. Children should be watched carefully to make sure they don’t do this. It will damage soft tissues and result in pain.
Sensitivity to cold and heat, as well as any soreness, should go away in a few days.
Brush gently and floss carefully for the first few days.
