What can you expect?
Meeting our friendly reception staff: You will feel at ease knowing you are in good hands. Any questions you may have prior or on the day of your appointment, our friendly reception staff are always happy to assist.
Completing a Medical History Form: It is important we have all of your correct personal information, a list of any medications, and a signed acknowledgement of our Privacy policy.
An examination of your mouth and dentures (if you currently wear dentures): Upon meeting our Dental Prosthetist, he/she will begin your consultation firstly by asking “how can I help?”. Once your query or concern is discussed, he/she can then assess your current condition and the options will be discussed in detail. The options given to you will then be drawn up into a ‘treatment plan’.
Creating a Treatment plan for you: After a discussion has been had about your treatment options, our friendly reception staff will walk you through the processes, costs involved and number of appointments required.
If a repair or denture reline is required on the day of your initial consultation: We will quote you on the cost of the repair or reline before we begin work and will give you an estimated time in which your repair or reline will be ready to collect.
