Which requirements are checked

Gums, available bone, neighbouring teeth, bite, general health and medication form part of the initial assessment. Depending on the findings, preparatory treatment or bone grafting may be discussed.

What planning includes

Planning includes the desired final restoration, the number and position of possible implants, the surgical requirements, healing phase and aftercare. Only then can a reliable cost range be explained.

Which alternatives may be available

Depending on the gap and remaining teeth, bridges, removable dentures, telescopic restorations or foregoing a restoration may be discussed. No solution automatically fits every clinical situation.

Take time to decide

Good explanation makes benefits, limitations, treatment requirements and alternatives understandable. Take time for questions and bring existing findings or cost plans if you would like an existing plan assessed.
