What Does the Detailed Assessment Involve?
This essential phase involves a careful examination of your overall dental health and medical history, helping us to evaluate your suitability for dental implants. The assessment includes:
- A detailed clinical evaluation to examine your gums, jawbone, and any existing dental work.
- Advanced diagnostic imaging like X-rays, digital scans, and CT scans to gather precise data about your jaw and bone structure.
- Dental impressions and models to visualise the expected result and ensure accurate implant placement.
Assessing Your Health Status
Your general health is a key factor in the success of dental implants. We review your medical background, especially conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis that could affect healing. If necessary, we’ll collaborate with your doctor to ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs.
Once we’ve gathered all necessary information, we’ll develop a customised treatment plan based on your clinical requirements and objectives.
The Role of Treatment Planning and Digital Design
- Digital Smile Preview – We use mock-ups or digital images to show you how your smile could look after treatment.
- Bespoke Treatment Plan – Surgical guides, stents, and 3D models will assist us in positioning your implants with precision.
- Realistic Expectations – If any modifications are needed to achieve your desired results, we’ll discuss them beforehand to ensure realistic outcomes.
- Predictability & Precision – With the help of digital scans and physical models, we ensure the most accurate implant placement.
- Alternative Solutions – If dental implants are not suitable for your situation, we’ll explore other restorative options that could better meet your needs.
Your Treatment Report and Informed Consent
Transparency and patient involvement are vital to our process. No treatment will commence without you reviewing and signing off on your full treatment report.
What’s Included in Your Treatment Report?
A tailored treatment plan outlining each step of your procedure.
Alternative treatment options, where relevant.
A clear timeline so you know what to expect at every stage.
A financial breakdown, including costs, payment options, and financing plans.
A discussion of the potential risks, benefits, and anticipated outcomes, allowing you to make an informed decision.
We are committed to a patient-centred approach, giving you time to review your plan, ask questions, and ensure you’re fully confident in your decision.
Your Consent is Key
We will only proceed with treatment once you are completely comfortable with your treatment plan and have given your written consent. Our goal is to make your treatment experience as smooth and predictable as possible, guiding you every step of the way
