Care For Temporary Crowns And Veneers

Whilst we wait for your permanent crown or veneers to be fabricated in the laboratory you will be required to wear a temporary measure which is applied using a “soft cement” allowing your dentist the ability to remove when required.

You will be able to brush and floss your teeth as normal, but it is important to take care in this period not to accidentally dislodge the temporary crown/s. If you can, it is best to avoid this tooth/teeth completely when eating. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods and attempt to do most chewing on the other side of your mouth. If you are wearing temporary veneers on your front teeth, do not attempt to open any packets using your teeth or bite into hard foods such as apples, carrots, or tough nuts. We advise cutting your food into a smaller size before consuming.
