If you’re considering dental implants, a consultation is the first step. It’s a chance to understand whether implants may be appropriate and what the process involves.

Assessment and suitability

Your dentist will consider your oral health, bone support, medical history, and goals. Implants are not suitable for everyone, and alternatives may be discussed.

Understanding the process

Ask about the stages of treatment, expected timelines, risks, and the aftercare involved. Clear answers help you weigh up your options.

Questions worth asking

What are my alternatives? What are the risks? What will the total cost include? How should I care for an implant long term?
