What to Do After Aesthetic Restorations

What to do after aesthetic restorations

• The materials used in aesthetic restorations are highly advanced and blend with the teeth. Still, because these restorations are thin and delicate, do not bite hard foods with your front teeth.
• Give up habits such as biting pens, nail biting or grinding your teeth, or use the protective night guard your dentist recommends.
• Brush your teeth regularly, from the gum towards the tooth. This way the gums adapt better over time and the result looks more aesthetic.
• After some time of use you may feel high spots or contact while chewing, so a check-up is scheduled one week later.
• Sensitivity for about a month after the restorations is normal and will pass over time.
• Care for restored teeth just like natural teeth, with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Clean between restored teeth with superfloss-type dental floss and interdental brushes.
• Keep up regular oral hygiene and do not skip your yearly dental check-ups.
