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.
