Aftercare guides
Good aftercare protects your result. Your dentist gives you written instructions for your own treatment before you leave; this page explains the general picture.
What the weeks after treatment look like
Before you leave
A final check of your bite and comfort, written aftercare instructions and a copy of your treatment records.
The journey home
Your dentist confirms when you are ready to travel. Keep your instructions and any medication in your hand luggage.
The first weeks
Your mouth adapts to the new work. Mild sensitivity or a new feeling when biting is common and usually settles.
The first months
Healing continues, especially after implant surgery. Keep to your cleaning routine and send us a message if something changes.
Every year
Regular check-ups and professional cleaning, at home or with us, help your treatment last.
Aftercare by treatment
Choose your treatment to see what usually helps. Your own written instructions always come first.
Veneers and crowns
The first days
- Some sensitivity to cold or a 'new' feeling when biting is common at first
- Chew carefully until you are used to the new shape of your teeth
- Tell us if your bite still feels high after a few days
Everyday care
- Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth every day
- Avoid biting very hard objects such as ice, nut shells or bottle caps
- Wear a night guard if your dentist recommended one for grinding

Dental implants
The first days
- Some swelling and discomfort after surgery is expected; follow your instructions on medication, food and cleaning
- Keep the area clean as you were shown, without disturbing the healing site
- If you have a temporary tooth, treat it gently until your final restoration is fitted
Everyday care
- Clean around the implant as carefully as around a natural tooth
- Do not miss check-ups: the gum and bone around an implant need regular review
- Tell your dentist at home that you have implants and share your implant details

All-on-4 and All-on-6
The first days
- Your written plan explains whether temporary teeth are fitted while the implants heal
- Follow the soft-food guidance you were given, and do not bite hard with any temporary teeth
- Keep the gums and any temporary teeth clean with the aids we showed you
Everyday care
- Clean under the bridge daily, for example with a water flosser or special brushes
- Attend the follow-up visits planned for your final bridge
- Have the bridge professionally checked and cleaned regularly
Teeth whitening
The first days
- Teeth can be more sensitive for a short time after whitening
- Avoid strongly coloured food and drink, such as coffee, red wine and curry, for the time your dentist advises
- Avoid smoking, which stains teeth again quickly
Everyday care
- Rinse with water after coloured drinks
- Use a toothpaste your dentist recommends
- Ask us before using other whitening products on veneers or crowns, which do not change colour

Composite bonding
The first days

- Avoid strongly coloured food and drink for the first days if your dentist advises it
Everyday care

Root canal treatment
The first days
- The tooth may be tender when biting for a few days

Check-ins after you return
Your coordinator will contact you after your visit to ask how you are doing. Many questions can be answered remotely; if you need to be seen, we will advise you on the best way forward. As a rule, we get in touch about one week after you return home, again after about one month and, for implant treatment, before your second visit. After that, we recommend a check-up with a dentist at least once a year.
Working with your dentist at home
We recommend regular check-ups with a dentist near you. With your permission, we can share your treatment records with them so they know exactly what was done.
Guarantee and corrections
If a problem appears with treatment we carried out, contact us with photos and a short description. We review each case individually and discuss with you whether a correction is needed and how it can be done. Any guarantee terms that apply to your treatment are explained in writing before treatment begins.
Frequently asked questions
When can I fly home after dental treatment?
This depends on your treatment and how you are healing. Your dentist will tell you when you are ready to travel, and your treatment plan already allows time for this.
Who do I contact if I have a problem after I return home?
Contact your coordinator by phone or email. Send a short description and photos if you can. We aim to reply within one working day.
Can my dentist at home look after my veneers, crowns or implants?
Yes. Regular check-ups with a local dentist are recommended. With your permission, we share your treatment records so they know what was done, including implant details.
What should I do in an emergency?
If you have severe swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high temperature or bleeding that will not stop, contact your local emergency service first. Then let us know so we can share your treatment details.
How do I look after my new teeth in the long term?
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth daily, avoid biting very hard objects, wear a night guard if one was recommended, and keep up regular check-ups and professional cleaning.
Is there a guarantee on my treatment?
Any guarantee terms that apply to your treatment are explained in writing before treatment begins. If a problem appears afterwards, contact your coordinator with photos and a short description and we will review it with you.
