What is the short answer?+
The short answer is that a useful discolouration case should document the cause and distribution of colour, tooth health, existing restorations and whether whitening or restorative masking was considered. No diagnosis or result is asserted without a case record.
What is most likely to change the answer for me?+
The deciding point is personal: when reviewing this example, a useful discolouration case should document the cause and distribution of colour, tooth health, existing restorations and whether whitening or restorative masking was considered. No diagnosis or result is asserted without a case record. One person's result cannot predict yours. The next useful point to discuss is: show why whitening, bonding or ceramic coverage was selected or rejected.
What should I explain at my consultation?+
Confirm the documented cause and health assessment for the discolouration. This gives the dentist a clear starting point for discussing what matters to you.
Which alternatives should I compare?+
Show why whitening, bonding or ceramic coverage was selected or rejected. The useful comparison is the one that addresses your concern with a proportionate commitment.
What should I understand before deciding?+
Compare the recorded starting point and decisions with the differences in your own case. Ask about limitations, maintenance and what could make the plan change before treatment begins.
