Restorative & Prosthodontics for Stony Mountain Residents

Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness can follow crown work and should improve. If it lingers or gets stronger, let the clinic know so the tooth can be reviewed.

Don’t count on it. Heavy contact should be checked and adjusted instead of leaving the tooth to adapt, so contact the clinic and ask when you could be seen.

It’s worth reporting. Floss that shreds repeatedly, or food that keeps trapping around a crown, can point to something that needs a look at the margin.

Call the clinic. Swelling, bleeding, drainage or a persistent bad taste around an implant can signal trouble in the surrounding tissues, and these signs deserve prompt attention.

Please don’t. Sore areas should be adjusted at the clinic, as altering an appliance yourself may affect its fit. Phone to explain what is rubbing and where.

Tell the clinic about it sooner. A chipped surface, a rough edge or a change in the bite can be described over the phone, and you can be advised on timing.

Telephone (204) 338-3003, since an online request isn’t the right route for anything urgent. For routine follow-up questions, the form on this page will do.
