Post All-Ceramic Crowns Treatment Care at London Dental Specialists

Proper care of your all-ceramic crown is essential for ensuring its longevity and maintaining your oral health. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive aftercare guidance to help you protect your investment and enjoy your beautiful, functional restoration for years to come.

Essential Aftercare for Your All-Ceramic Crown:

• First 24-48 Hours: Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods that could dislodge your new crown


• Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste


• Flossing: Clean between teeth daily, using special techniques around your crown


• Regular Check-ups: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your crown's condition


• Avoid Harmful Habits: Refrain from teeth grinding, nail-biting, or using teeth as tools

Your all-ceramic crown requires similar care to natural teeth, but with some special considerations. Materials like zirconia and lithium disilicate are highly durable but benefit from proper maintenance to maximise their lifespan of 10-15 years or more.

Potential Adjustments and Follow-up Care:

After receiving your all-ceramic crown, you might experience minor discomfort or feel that your bite needs adjustment. This is normal and easily addressed during your follow-up appointment. Our specialists will:

• Evaluate how your crown fits with your bite pattern


• Make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort


• Check the crown margins and surrounding gum tissue


• Provide additional personalised care recommendations

Long-term Maintenance for All-Ceramic Crowns:

At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to the long-term success of your all-ceramic crown. Our aftercare programme includes regular assessments to ensure your restoration continues to function perfectly and maintain its natural appearance.

Remember that while all-ceramic crowns are resistant to staining, maintaining good oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings will help preserve their beautiful appearance. With proper care, your crown will provide years of comfortable function and aesthetic satisfaction.
