Permanent Crown
 

Your permanent crown is checked for fit and then cemented. You can eat on your crown immediately but it is wise not to for a day or so to allow the nerves to settle down following treatment. It is not uncommon for the permanent crown to be a little cold sensitive for a few weeks afterwards. A balanced bite is important so please be sure to inform me if you feel you have a “high” bite on any new crown.

It is generally important to floss the margins of crowns next to the gum line below the contact area to prevent periodontal disease and dental decay even with your perfectly fitted crown.

It is important to have your new crown checked regularly and cleaned by my hygienist. With regular hygiene appointments the permanent crown should last you many years.

Remember, no question is too small and we are just a phone call away:
(301) 530-2434.
