Aftercare Instructions

Written instructions for the days after your treatment. Find your procedure below, read the most important steps first, and print a copy if it helps.

The instructions you were given at your visit always come first. If anything here differs, follow what you were told.

Surgical

Restorative

  • Caring for Your Implant Teeth

    What to expect when your final implant crown, bridge or full-arch teeth are delivered, and how to keep them healthy for the long term.

  • Root Canal Aftercare

    How to protect a tooth after root canal treatment, and why the final crown or filling matters. Mild tenderness for a few days is common.

  • Crowns, Bridges & Veneers Aftercare

    How to look after a temporary while your final restoration is made, and how to care for your new crown, bridge or veneers once they are placed.

  • Fillings & Bonding Aftercare

    What to expect after a filling or cosmetic bonding, and when a quick adjustment helps. Most people are back to normal the same day.

Hygiene & Cosmetic

  • Scaling & Root Planing Aftercare

    How to help your gums heal after a deep cleaning. Gentle, steady home care over the next few weeks makes the biggest difference.

  • Teeth Whitening Aftercare

    How to protect your whitening results and manage any sensitivity. Most sensitivity is temporary and settles within a day or two.

Not sure which one applies to you? Call the office where you were treated and we will point you to the right instructions.
