Treatment overview
The discussion may include imaging, removal complexity, recovery, alternatives and whether an anaesthetic pathway should be considered.
Who may be suitable
Suitability depends on your oral health, symptoms, medical history and examination findings. A dentist can explain whether treatment, monitoring, referral or another option is appropriate.
Limitations and suitability considerations
Not every concern can be resolved in one visit. Further information, imaging, staged care, referral or time for healing may be needed before a final decision.
Risks and considerations
Dental treatment has risks and limitations. Your dentist will explain material risks that apply to the option being considered and answer your questions before treatment begins.
Alternatives
Alternatives may include monitoring, another treatment approach, referral or choosing not to proceed after discussing the likely consequences.
Consultation and treatment process
We begin by listening to your concerns and reviewing relevant health information. The dentist examines the area, may recommend diagnostic information where clinically appropriate, and explains options, timing and consent before treatment.
Recovery and aftercare
Aftercare depends on the care provided. Follow the individual instructions given at your appointment and contact the practice if you are unsure what to do next.
Cost factors
Fees depend on the assessment, any imaging, complexity, materials, laboratory work and whether care is completed in one or more visits. Ask for an estimate and staged options before proceeding.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need treatment on the day?
Not always. The appointment is used to assess the concern and explain what is clinically appropriate and time-sensitive.
Can I ask about fees before treatment?
Yes. Ask the team for an estimate and an explanation of the factors that affect fees.
