Existing restorations can change the design problem. Bring information about prior bonding, crowns, root canals, and earlier veneers.
What to discuss at your appointment
Ask for a map of what is being retained and what is being replaced. Compare appearance-only changes with work needed for the condition of the teeth. Confirm how shade matching will be managed across different materials. Make sure the estimate includes removal or replacement steps where needed.
Three questions to take with you
- Which existing work can remain?
- How will different materials match?
- What replacement steps are included?
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.
