When may it be needed?

How does the process work?
- The procedure is planned after an examination and any necessary imaging.
- It is usually performed under local anaesthesia; your dentist explains alternatives where appropriate.
- Medications you use and your health history should be shared with your dentist before the procedure.
After treatment and care

- In the first days avoid hard and very hot foods; choose soft foods.
- Avoid actions that may disturb the treated area, such as smoking or vigorous rinsing.
