What should I do if my temporary falls off at home?+
Phone the clinic and explain what has happened, and you can then be advised on what to do. Asking about this at the preparation appointment means you will know what to expect.
Can some follow-up be handled by phone?+
A call is a good first step for describing a concern. Whether you need to come in depends on what you report, and a bridge problem usually has to be seen to be properly assessed.
Can I go to another dentist for routine examinations?+
That is a question to raise with us and with the other office. Ask how your bridge details and records would be shared, so whoever examines it knows what was done.
How will I know if a change is worth the trip?+
Looseness, chips, a rough edge, an altered bite, swelling, bleeding or persistent bad taste should all be reported. The clinic can tell you what to do after hearing what you have noticed.
How far apart are my appointments likely to be?+
That depends on your design and how the work progresses. Once a plan has been proposed, you can ask how the stages would be spaced, and whether a few may be combined.
Can I learn the cleaning routine before I go home?+
Yes. Our team demonstrates the tools suited to your bridge, and it makes sense to try them with guidance while you are there. Ask for a reminder if anything seems unclear.
