Crowns & Bridges
Post-Op Care

After receiving your dental crowns or bridges at Smile Studio 87, avoid eating for at least two hours or until the anesthesia wears off to prevent accidental biting or injury.

If you have a temporary crown or bridge, avoid sticky and hard foods that could dislodge or damage it. When flossing, slide the floss out instead of lifting to protect your temporary restoration.

Sensitivity to temperature or pressure is common after crown or bridge placement. Manage discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol or Advil, or rinse with warm salt water to soothe the area.

Continue brushing and flossing regularly, but be gentle around your new crowns and bridges. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to maintain oral health without damaging restorations.

If your bite feels uneven or you experience persistent discomfort, contact Smile Studio 87 in Woodridge, IL for an adjustment. Proper alignment is essential for comfort and the long-term function of your dental crowns and bridges.

While dental crowns and bridges are durable, they require care. Avoid habits like chewing ice or biting fingernails, and schedule regular check-ups at Smile Studio 87 to monitor the integrity of your restorations.
