Aftercare instructions
Avoid biting hard objects
Do not use a gem-fitted tooth to bite directly into food or hard objects, in order to reduce the risk of the gem coming loose and to protect against tooth damage
Clean gently
Brush gently but thoroughly around the area where the gem is attached, and clean between the teeth every day to limit plaque buildup
Do not try to fix a loose gem yourself
Do not pry it off, try to re-attach it, or use non-specialized glue. Instead, visit the clinic so the doctor can examine the tooth surface
Warranty and follow-up visits
How long an attached gem lasts depends on its position, the force of your bite, and how well you care for your oral health. Any conditions for reattachment or warranty coverage will follow the policy in effect at the time the procedure was performed.
Customers should keep their records, invoices, and warranty card, if any, and should return for follow-up visits as scheduled so the doctor can monitor the gem and address any issues early. Warranty policy is applied in accordance with current regulations and the specific conditions of each service or material.
