A guide for patients

11 | To decide on suitable treatment, your dentist will make an assessment of your personal initial situation. To this purpose, X-rays will be taken and models made, maybe special functional tests will be carried out, too. In some cases, X-rays via digital volume tomography (DVT) or computer tomography (CT) may be useful. These back up dental diagnostics and facilitate individual case planning. As part of these examinations, the alternative restoration options are analyzed. Ask about the advantages, disadvantages and possible risks. Your dentist will discuss these with you and make a careful decision as to which solution is best for you. 1 DIAGNOSIS The condition of natural teeth can be determined with single X-rays. 10 | 1
