What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

The dentist checks remaining tooth structure, pulp health, gums, bite, and neighboring teeth, then may prepare the tooth, place a temporary crown, record shade and bite, and bond the final restoration.

What can you do next?

Seek care for a fractured, loose, painful, or darkening front tooth. Report persistent sensitivity, a high bite, rough margins, movement, chipping, or gum irritation after placement.

When should you seek dental care?

How much healthy tooth remains? Is a crown the most conservative option? How will shade, bonding, bite, gum contour, and repairs be managed?
