Risks and Complications
I understand that there are risks and complications associated with the administration of medications, including anesthesia, and
performance of the Recommended Treatment. These potential risks and complications, include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. Drug reactions and side effects
2. Damage to adjacent teeth or tooth restorations.
3. Sensitivity of teeth.
4. Chipping, breaking or loosening of the veneer.
5. Injury to soft tissues adjacent to veneer due to bonding or bleaching agents.
6. Necessity for a more extensive restoration, such as a crown, than originally diagnosed.
7. Inability to exactly match tooth coloration.
8. Changes in the shade, aesthetics, and appearance of the restoration, which may occur over time.
9. As a result of the injection or use of anesthesia, there may be swelling, jaw muscle tenderness or even resultant numbness
of the tongue, lips, teeth, jaws and/or facial tissues, which is typically temporary, but in rare instances, may be permanent.
10. Changes in speech (which are usually temporary).
11. Changes to the bite or position of the temporomandibular joint which may require further treatment or adjustment.
