Can I see what my tooth will look like before you begin?+
The dentist can show you where the change is planned, and you can ask whether other preview methods are available. Any preview is only a guide, and the final look isn’t certain.
Is a digital smile preview an option?+
Ask the clinic what it can offer when you get in touch. It’s better to find out directly than to assume a particular tool or mock-up will be available for your visit.
What do the marks on the tooth actually show?+
They’re a planning aid that identifies the area of proposed adjustment. Ask the dentist to explain what yours mean, because those marks are a good basis for questions.
Can I have one tiny change, see it, and come back later?+
Ask about this, since a staged approach may or may not be sensible for your tooth. If you’re travelling, also consider how an extra appointment would fit into your plans.
Why is shape checked so many times?+
Each increment changes how the tooth relates to its neighbours. Repeated checks allow the dentist to stop as soon as the planned contour has been reached, without removing extra enamel.
How would someone from Birds Hill set this up?+
