Do I have to start the whole process again?+
A new examination is needed so that the dentist can assess the tooth as it is today. Anything from your previous clinic can inform that assessment without replacing it.
Will my old estimate still apply?+
An estimate from elsewhere reflects that clinic and that time. Ask for a current figure here after your tooth has been examined, and check coverage with your plan.
What if the previous clinic already prepared my tooth?+
Phone the clinic and explain what has been done, including whether a temporary is on. Temporary materials are not as durable as finished restorations, so do not leave it long.
Can my earlier dental records be sent over?+
Ask the office about transferring records from your former clinic, and have its name and contact details ready when you do.
What if you recommend something different from my last dentist?+
Differences can arise because a tooth has changed or because the two assessments weigh things differently. Ask for the reasoning, then take the time you need to decide.
