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. Reduction of tooth structure.
2. Sensitivity of teeth.
3. Crown or bridge abutment teeth may require root canal treatment.
4. Breakage.
5. Uncomfortable or strange feelings, which is typically temporary. In limited situations, muscle soreness or tenderness of the
jaw may persist following placement of the prosthesis.
6. Unsatisfactory aesthetics or appearance.
7. Unsatisfactory longevity of crowns and bridge.
8. As a result of the injection or use of anesthesia, at times 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.
