2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

Small amounts of enamel or restorative material are polished away from selected biting surfaces so that the teeth or the implant teeth meet more evenly. It is used to relieve a high spot, to settle soreness after new work, to protect implants from uneven load, and to reduce wear or fracture risk.

Material risks and limitations

Enamel and restorative material removed do not grow back. This is a permanent, irreversible change to your teeth.
Temporary sensitivity to cold, heat, or biting.
More than one visit is often needed as the bite settles and the muscles adapt.
The bite can feel unfamiliar or 'off' for a period while you adjust.
Symptoms may not improve, and jaw joint or muscle pain can persist or occasionally worsen.
Occasionally a tooth becomes sensitive enough to need a filling, a crown, or root canal treatment.
Adjusting porcelain or zirconia requires re-polishing or reglazing; a surface left rough wears the opposing teeth.

Reasonable alternatives

A night guard or splint instead of removing tooth structure, orthodontic treatment to move the teeth, replacing or remaking restorations, treating an underlying jaw joint condition, or no treatment.
