Can both appointments be planned before I start?+
It is reasonable to ask about this when the clinic contacts you. Timing depends on how the piece is made, so ask what can be mapped out ahead of your first preparation visit.
What if my temporary comes off when I am at home?+
Phone the clinic to explain what happened and ask what to do next. Temporaries are less durable than final restorations, so follow the care instructions you were given.
Do I have to be back within a certain time?+
Ask your dentist. A temporary is only intended as short-term protection, so keeping the planned bonding appointment is generally important for your tooth.
Can a problem be sorted out by phone without another trip?+
Calling is a good first step, though some concerns, such as a high bite, may need an in-person look. The office can talk you through what the situation calls for.
Can my records be sent over from a dentist outside the city?+
You can ask about this when you request a visit. Previous X-rays or notes may be useful for your assessment, and the office can explain how they would like to receive them.
