Ten Tooth Upper Veneer Crown

Before

After

Make arrangements for someone to accompany you to the dental office on the day your teeth are to be removed and your new dentures placed.
During the four hours following the removal of your natural teeth, place an ice pack over your lips 15 minutes out of every 1/2 hours to minimize possible swelling.
Do not remove the denture yourself. Premature removal of the denture will possibly result in swelling of the tissues which may not allow replacement of the denture for several days.
After the denture has been removed by the dentist (at the next day appointment) you will be instructed on how to place and remove the denture.
An analgesic has been prescribed to control pain which may occur. Please follow the directions for administration of this medicine.
After 24 hours and each time your dentures are removed, rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1 teaspoon of salt to a 8oz glass of water). Clean your dentures thoroughly before replacing them. Do not use commercial mouthwashes or analgesic pastes.
Appointments will be made for adjustment of your denture and the removal of sutures.
During the healing period your diet should consist of primarily soft foods.
After the initial healing your oral tissues must be examined by your dentist in order to detect changes that may require alteration of your denture.
