    Before treatment

    Questions to ask

    Do I need a crown or a filling?
    The recommendation depends on the location and extent of damage, the strength of the remaining tooth and other clinical factors.
    Can a missing tooth be replaced?
    Several treatments may be considered. Bone, gum health, nearby teeth, health history, goals and budget affect the recommendation.
