For people referred to
us, we will
 |
Confirm in advance with the referring
denturist what services he expects us to provide |
|
Inform the patient of costs before providing
any services |
|
Examine the patient thoroughly, including x-rays,
with models and a CT scan if required |
|
Advise the patient whether implants would be
useful and what to expect from implant surgery |
|
If the patient decides on surgery, choose the
number of implants with the patient and confirm their cost |
|
Arrange for the surgical appointment within a
few weeks time, including medication required |
|
Provide a range of payment options including
VISA, MC, debit card and payment plans |
Once surgery is arranged,
we will
|
Insert the agreed number of implants,
provided clinical conditions permit, keeping the patient’s lower denture
so that it cannot be worn during initial healing |
|
Guarantee osseointegration of the implants we
insert. If an implant fails to osseointegrate, we will replace it free
of charge or refund the money paid for it |
|
Be available to deal with any questions or problems,
from either patient or denturist |
|
Have the patient return 10 to 21 days after surgery
for evaluation. We provide denture relief and soft temporary liner placement
at this point if the referring denturist wants us to do these procedures |
|
Have the patient return 2 months after surgery
for connection of retentive studs to the implants. We again provide denture
relief and soft temporary liner placement if the referring denturist wishes.
If implants are embedded, they will be surgically uncovered and the patient
will again give up the lower denture during initial healing |
|
Have the patient return 3 weeks later to the
referring denturist for a new denture or permanent adaptation of the existing
denture to the implants |
|
Supply, or help the referring practitioner obtain
prosthetic components: stud analogs to allow him to duplicate the patient’s
implant studs in a working model, and retentive rings and anchors |
|
If the referring practitioner does not wish to
be responsible for the implant-retained prosthesis, we will provide it
or direct the patient to an alternate provider chosen by the referring
practitioner |
|
See the patient free of charge for one year after
surgery to verify the osseointegration of the implants, the health of the
surrounding tissue, and the tightness of the implant components |
Our prices include
|
Alteration of the existing denture
and temporary soft lining both after the initial surgery and after stud
connection, when referring denturists want us to provide these services |
|
Follow-up examinations for 1 year |
Our prices do not include
|
The patient’s cost to have the referring
denturist modify the existing denture to accommodate the implants or make
a new denture is not included in our fees |
|
