Can I go back to work after treatment?+
That depends on the extent of your treatment and the kind of work you do. Describe your job and ask your dentist what would be sensible for your particular plan.
Will people notice while it is healing?+
The tissue can look red, swollen or uneven for a time, particularly where more teeth are treated. Whether others notice varies, and you can ask what to expect from your plan.
Will contouring affect how I speak?+
Numbness and tenderness may make talking feel different for a while. Mention your speaking duties in advance so your dentist can discuss them in the context of your treatment.
How do I plan time away from work?+
Hold off until you know which treatment level applies, since healing differs between them. Your assessment gives you the details needed to ask about timing.
Could stitches get in the way of talking?+
Sutures are not used in every case, and they are removed at follow-up if they are. Ask whether your plan is likely to include them and how they may feel.
