What to understand
A consultation begins by understanding why you came, your relevant health history, and your questions. A clinical examination may assess the teeth and bite; depending on the findings, images or additional information may be needed before a plan is made.
What to clarify at an examination
Prepare questions, mention previous treatment and relevant medication, and bring existing images if available. You can ask about alternatives, estimated duration, fees, visit frequency, and the retention phase.
Questions to ask
Does a consultation require starting treatment? No. You can use the visit to understand the findings and make a decision at your own pace.
