Root canal treatment and the final filling or crown are separate parts of a plan. Ask how they will be coordinated.
What to discuss at your appointment
Request the full sequence, including any specialist visit and provisional restoration. Confirm who schedules the final work and what fees apply. Keep the written instructions and contact information for both offices if care is shared. Compare the total plan when discussing tooth-saving and replacement options.
Three questions to take with you
- Who coordinates the final restoration?
- When should it be completed?
- What is the combined estimate?
Plan your next step
Write down the answers, the proposed appointments, and any information the office needs from you. If the explanation is unclear, ask for a written summary before deciding. Your own goals and the findings of an examination should guide the final choice.
