Take these questions to a dental-bonding consultation during GLP-1 treatment.

1. What needs repair first?

Bonding uses tooth-colored resin for small cosmetic changes, including chips. Tooth decay may need treatment first. [1]

2. Have we reviewed my medicines?

Bring prescription and over-the-counter medication details and health changes. ADA explains that medicines can affect dental treatment; some cause dry mouth, which increases decay risk. This is general medication guidance, not proof that your GLP-1 caused a symptom. [2]

3. How long is the appointment?

Cleveland Clinic describes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. Ask how many teeth your plan involves. [1]

4. What upkeep should I expect?

Resin can chip and stain. Typical touchup or replacement timing is three to ten years, depending on oral habits and treated teeth. Avoid chewing pens or opening packages with teeth. [1]

5. When should I call afterward?

Contact your dentist about sharp edges or a bite that feels wrong. [1]
