Sample input
Findings: Large failing restoration and recurrent decay on tooth 30. Recommended care: Crown after decay removal and confirmation that the tooth is restorable. Options: Crown, a less predictable replacement filling, clinically monitored delay, or extraction if the tooth proves nonrestorable or the patient elects it after discussion. Priorities: Keep the tooth, limit time away from work, and avoid another painful experience. Cost: $1,450 office estimate before insurance, with coverage unconfirmed. Timing: Preferably within four to six weeks, with earlier reassessment for pain, swelling, biting pain, or fracture. Decision state: Patient is uncertain. Context: Twelve-minute post-exam discussion with a coordinator available for financial questions.
