Guidelines & Recovery
After Your Visit.
Your transformation doesn't end when you leave our clinic. Follow these curated instructions to ensure your 'Queen Maker' smile remains flawless and healthy.
Immediate Post-Op Care
- Avoid hot liquids and food until anesthesia has fully worn off to prevent tissue trauma.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water up to 3 times daily to reduce inflammation.
- Apply a cold compress externally if slight swelling occurs; this is normal for surgical procedures.
Maintaining the Aesthetic
- Refrain from drinking coffee, tea, or red wine for the first 48 hours following a whitening or veneer placement.
- Use a non-abrasive gel toothpaste to preserve the high-gloss finish of your crowns.
- Avoid biting directly into hard objects; use a knife and fork for fruits and breads.
Pain Management
- Take prescribed pain relievers as directed; don't wait for intense discomfort to begin the first dose.
- Ensure you complete any course of antibiotics provided to prevent secondary infections.
- Contact your Cruz-Mejia branch immediately if you experience persistent bleeding or high fever.
Next Steps & Follow-up
- Your follow-up appointment is typically scheduled 7-14 days after your primary procedure.
- During this visit, Dr. Cruz-Mejia will perform a final assessment of the margin and occlusion.
- Consistency is key: professional hygiene maintenance every 6 months is mandatory for crown warranty.
