Dental implants in Fourways
Fewer practices advertise implant treatment in Fourways than in Sandton. For many people that makes the number of visits, and who does them, the main planning question.
Weighing distance against visits
Implant treatment usually involves an assessment, perhaps a preparation stage, placement, one or more reviews while the implant heals, and then two or more visits to make and fit the final tooth. Spread over months, that is a lot of trips. From Fourways, a practice further south can mean long drives at peak times on William Nicol Drive.
Before you choose, ask the practice to set out the appointments in your plan and roughly how long each takes. Some visits are quick checks; others take a morning.
Sharing care with your own dentist
If your regular dentist is near home in Fourways but does not place implants, they may refer you to a practitioner who does and continue to see you for check-ups and cleaning. Sometimes the final crown is made by your own dentist once the implant has healed. Arrangements differ, so ask both practices how they share records and who you contact between visits.
This kind of shared care is common in dentistry. It is a practical arrangement between practitioners, and it is for them and you to agree.
What changes the cost
The cost depends on how many implants are needed, any extractions or grafting, the imaging, the final tooth or teeth, laboratory work, sedation, and your medical aid's rules. Where two practitioners are involved, you may receive accounts from each. Ask for both to be explained before treatment starts.
