Is it all right to bring a written list of questions?+
Absolutely. A written list keeps the conversation on track and helps you remember things you might otherwise think of only later.
Should I decide about replacement before removal?+
It can be discussed either before or after. Ask about both timing and suitability, because your bite, your remaining teeth, your bone and your own priorities all feed into that choice.
Which question matters most?+
A strong starting point is what would change if the tooth stayed. The answer usually reveals the reasoning behind a recommendation and the alternatives that were considered.
How are an implant, bridge and partial denture different?+
An implant is placed in the bone and does not rely on neighbouring teeth. A bridge is fixed and spans a space using teeth or implants, while a partial denture can be taken out.
What if I think of a new question after I get home?+
Write it down and call the clinic. Should it concern a new or worsening symptom, there is no reason to save it for a later appointment.
