Porcelain Restorations Aftercare

dentures in joplin
We have placed porcelain restorations on your teeth. These were placed with the finest materials and techniques available today. However, the following information will be beneficial for the long-term maintenance of your porcelain restorations.
CHEWING, BITING, AND TRAUMA: As with natural teeth, avoid biting and chewing excessively hard foods and other items on your new restorations (hard candy, ice, raw carrots, biting fingernails, pencils, pens, fishing line, thread, clothing tags, opening pre-packaged mustard and ketchup, etc.). The porcelain material can be broken under conditions of sudden impact or extreme force. Use care in sports or other potentially traumatic situations.
PREVENTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS: To prevent future dental cavities and gum disease, and to provide the greatest longevity for your restorations, please use the following preventive recommendations that are checked:

Brush with Prevident 5000 after eating and before bedtime.

Floss before bedtime.

Following breakfast and before bedtime, swish vigorously for a least 30 seconds with one of the following over-the-counter fluoride containing rinses: (Colgate Fluorigard; Johnson & Johnson Act; Listermint with fluoride).

Before bedtime, swish vigorously for one minute with a prescription fluoride mouth rinse.

A mechanical style toothbrush (SONICARE PLUS) would be highly eneficial.

CHECKUPS: Maintaining regular, professional, preventive care and cleaning checkup appointments are essential to the health of your porcelain restorations.

THE FUTURE: We have done our best to provide you with the finest quality restorations available today. We expect that you will receive years of service from them. By following the recommendations listed above, you will help assure the best longevity for this dentistry. It is a pleasure to have you as our patient. Our dental team has enjoyed working with you.

I’ve been going to Joplin Family Dental for 6-7 years. The staff are so friendly and helpful. And we love Dr. Kirk. My son is physically challenged and they’ve always really worked to make it the easiest possible. Beth, our hygienist, is super and we love her, too. As a formerly anxious dental patient, I highly recommend Joplin Family Dental.

Always happy to see the folks in the reception desks. They are friendly and always willing to help as needed. They're genuinely interested in the welfare of my family. Lisa is my hygienist. She understands my particular needs and sees to it that they are met. I feel totally relaxed having Lisa delve around in my mouth. My experience with others within the practice are equally positive.

I am always in the best of care when I visit my dentist and his dental technicians!!
I never dread or fear going to my appointment, because they are the best at making me comfortable!!
Dr. Paustian, Susan, and Becky have always done such a great job taking care of my teeth and making sure the procedure has been pain-free.

Where to start, I’ve been a patient here for some time and while all the staff from the receptionist to my hygienist, Beth is great. Devon is my favorite. She’s very personal and caring and so knowledgeable I’m what she does. Definitely, in my opinion what keeps me coming back.
