At Sure Dental in Wavell Heights, Dr Michael Ghobrial talks Brisbane patients through what to expect after each appointment so that scheduling treatment around work, family, and exercise is straightforward.
What to expect after different treatments
Recovery varies depending on the type of treatment, the area of the mouth being worked on, and the patient’s individual response on the day.
After a smile makeover
When porcelain veneers or crowns are being placed, the patient typically leaves the practice with carefully fitted temporary restorations. Care is taken with the gums during preparation to minimise irritation, and most patients return to work and other commitments on the same day.
After minor restorative work
For most general procedures such as fillings or dental crowns, patients can usually return to their day without disruption. A short period of numbness from local anaesthetic, usually around ninety minutes, is the most common after effect.
After surgical procedures
For surgical treatments, including the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, Dr Michael Ghobrial generally recommends taking two days off work to rest and allow the body to recover. Specific aftercare instructions are provided for each case.
After gum recontouring
For gum recontouring as part of a smile makeover, most patients are able to leave the practice and continue with their day, with detailed home care advice given at the appointment.
