After Care
Our work is not done until our patients are fully healed and confident in their smile.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles of mastication can develop pain and discomfort, classified as temporomandibular disorder.
Extraction & Oral Surgery
After extraction and oral surgery, it’s necessary to follow post-op instructions to ensure smooth recovery.
Dentures
After extraction and oral surgery, it’s necessary to follow post-op instructions to ensure smooth recovery.
Deep Cleaning
Most patients experience little or no postoperative discomfort, other than gum sensitivity for the first day or two after a deep cleaning. Keeping your mouth healthy until your next appointment is critical for long-term oral health.
Fillings
Fillings are used in dentistry to repair a tooth after a cavity or defect is removed. Although you may be sore for a few days post-op, following Draver Dental’s care plan will help manage the healing process.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are a “cap” that protects a single tooth. A bridge is made from two or more crowns attached together to support and fill the space created from missing teeth. Print and save this guide the best post-op experience.
