Discuss restoring tooth form and function while considering the tooth structure and bite.
A restoration for the tooth’s needs
A crown may be discussed to cover a tooth that needs restoration, while other situations call for a different approach. The decision follows an assessment of the tooth, surrounding tissues and bite.
Material, appearance and follow-up
Ask why a material is being suggested, how the restoration will look and whether temporary stages are involved. Previous restorations may affect the choice, so bring relevant records if available.
Before agreeing
Discuss alternatives, the overall cost, visits, aftercare and what to do if the bite feels uncomfortable. Your plan should reflect your own clinical needs.
General information: NHS. An individual assessment determines suitability.
