What each possible next step needs to answer
| Choice to discuss | Why it may deserve consideration | What to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| A conservative first step | A limited or reversible option may address the main concern. | Ask for the conservative comparison: arrange prompt assessment to check the tooth and why the veneer fractured. |
| Restorative or combined care | The findings show that the concern involves more than one tooth, material or treatment stage. | Apply the main finding to the options: avoid biting on the damaged area and do not use household glue. Keep any fragment, arrange prompt assessment and seek urgent advice if trauma, severe pain or swelling is involved. |
| No immediate treatment | The expected benefit does not justify the commitment, or monitoring is reasonable. | Ask what can safely remain unchanged and what would prompt a future review. |
