QUESTIONS ARE WELCOMEUnderstand more.
Understand more.
Decide with clarity.
Is an implant my only tooth-replacement option?
No. Bridges and removable dentures are other approaches. The right discussion depends on your missing teeth, existing dental work, oral health and preferences.
Is implant treatment a single appointment?
Treatment can involve several stages and healing between them. Your dentist will explain the proposed sequence and expected timing after an assessment.
How much will it cost?
Costs depend on the assessment and the proposed restoration. Ask the clinic for a clear treatment plan and a breakdown before deciding.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Tell the dentist about your dental history, health conditions and medicines. Ask the clinic whether to bring existing dental records; do not send sensitive records through the initial enquiry.
