Dental implant consultation in Sandton
The assessment is where an implant plan is made. Here is what usually happens at a consultation in Sandton and how to make the most of it.
Before you book
If you have a regular dentist, ask them first. They know your history and can tell you whether implant treatment is worth exploring, and can refer you on if they do not place implants. If you contact a Sandton practice directly, ask when you book what the consultation includes, whether a 3D scan is done on the day, and what the consultation and scan will cost.
You can check the registration of any practitioner on the HPCSA's public online register before your appointment.
On the day
Expect questions about your general health, medication and dental history, an examination of the teeth, gums and bite, and X-rays or a scan. Many practitioners will talk through the options, including non-implant ones, at the appointment and send the written plan afterwards.
Bring a list of your medication, your medical aid details, any recent X-rays from your own dentist, and your questions written down. In a busy CBD practice, a written list helps you cover everything in the time available.
If you see more than one practice
With so many practices around Sandton, some people have more than one assessment. If you do, ask each for a written, itemised plan and compare them stage by stage. With your consent, practices can share your scan, which may avoid repeating it. Ask whether that is possible.
