1. What to Expect After Treatment

• Mild tooth sensitivity is common, especially when exposed to hot, cold, or pressure from chewing
• Slight gum irritation around the treated tooth may occur temporarily
• If your bite has been adjusted, the treated tooth may feel slightly high or different in the beginning
• If the restoration becomes loose, fractured, or feels abnormal, please contact the clinic promptly

2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Treatment

• Avoid hard, sticky, or overly acidic foods for the first 48–72 hours after placement
• Brush your teeth gently twice a day and floss carefully between the teeth
• If a mouth rinse was prescribed, use it as directed by your dentist
• Pay special attention to cleaning the margins between the restoration and the natural tooth to prevent secondary decay
• Do not bite hard substances such as ice, nuts, or hard candies with restored teeth
• Visit the dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups to assess the restoration and gum health

Important Note:

Although veneers, inlays, and onlays help reinforce tooth structure, the margin between the restoration and the natural tooth is still susceptible to decay, especially if oral hygiene is inadequate. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups every 6 months are essential to preventing secondary decay. If decay occurs under a restoration, it may require removing the restoration and possibly root canal treatment.

3. What to Avoid After Treatment

• Do not bite on hard objects such as pens, fingernails, or bottle caps
• Avoid chewing sticky foods (e.g., caramel, chewy gum) as they can loosen or dislodge the restoration
• Refrain from consuming highly acidic foods or beverages that may degrade the restoration material
• Avoid using strong alcohol-based mouthwashes unless instructed by your dentist

4. When to Contact the Clinic

• Persistent or intense sensitivity that does not subside
• The restored tooth feels too high or doesn’t bite down properly
• The restoration feels loose, fractured, or comes off
• Pain, swelling, or irritation around the gums of the treated tooth
• Localized bad breath or unusual taste when biting down near the restoration
• Sharp sensitivity to sweet drinks, which could indicate decay under the restoration
