Implant dentistry is a field in dentistry to replace missing teeth with titanium fixtures placed in the jawbone. These fixtures are anchored in the jawbone and are meant to function similar to roots of natural teeth.
Trained dentists will place the fixtures and usually some time is required before attaching the permanent crown to the fixture.
During the consultation and diagnosis process, we will utilise digital scans to achieve an accurate planning sequence before the treatment is performed. Should the need arise, we will also utilise 3-dimensional scans and software to achieve a very accurate virtual model to plan the treatment. This in turn translates to improved safety and predictability of our patient’s implant treatment.
Finally, a discussion of treatment plan for implants including duration of treatment, phases of treatment, implant brands and materials used, cost as well as maintenance protocol will be done.
Sometimes, the discussion process may need to be done over a few visits. We, at LQ Dental, pride ourselves on ensuring that our patients get as much information and time necessary to identify concerns and expectations.
A full diagnostic consult is always performed before an accurate estimation of costs can be made. This also helps our patients understand each step of the treatment properly.
It is advisable to speak to the dentist to determine the most suitable course of treatment for the case and be advised on any alternatives to the above. Costs can be divided into instalments. Also, you can ask the dentist about our interest free credit card instalment plans.
