Questions to Ask Your Prosthodontist Before Your Visit

• What are all my options for replacing missing teeth — implants, bridges, or dentures?
• How long will my restorations last with proper care and maintenance?
• What is the total timeline from start to finish, and how many appointments?
• What is the estimated cost, and what does dental insurance typically cover?
• How will my speech and ability to eat change during and after treatment?
• What care and maintenance do my restorations require on a daily basis?
• What happens if a restoration chips, cracks, or fails?
• Will any other dental specialists be involved in my treatment plan?

These are general questions for patients. Answers will vary by practice — call ahead to confirm details before your visit.
