We decide treatment by looking at your condition.

The same discomfort can call for different treatment. We listen first, review your exam results together, then explain the possible methods and their order.

Implants

We check the bone where the tooth is missing with a CT scan, then decide the implant position and the order of treatment together. At your consultation we walk you through every step up to the crown and the expected visit schedule.

Steps

  1. At the first consultation we ask about the area that hurts and your previous treatment history.
  2. A CT scan shows the height and thickness of the bone, and we mark where the implant will go.
  3. Once we agree on the position and method, we do the surgery under local anesthesia.
  4. After the implant settles into the bone, we place the crown.

What we confirm at the consultation

Treatment time can vary with bone condition and how fast you heal. Based on your exam results, we explain the possible methods and expected schedule at the consultation.

Sedation and sleep dentistry

For long procedures or patients who dread the dentist, we discuss sedation options. We first review your medications and health, then explain everything from the procedure to aftercare once you have recovered.

Steps

  1. We explain which treatments take long and how they will go.
  2. We check your current medications and any systemic conditions, then choose the sedation method.
  3. Before sedation, we confirm the light anesthesia together.
  4. After treatment, we check how you feel once you are awake.

What we confirm at the consultation

Whether sedation is possible is decided after we review your medications and health. We also tell you in advance whether you will need to be accompanied home after treatment.

Porcelain laminates

We first listen to what you want to change about the color and shape of your front teeth. We examine the teeth to set how much to shape them, choose the shade and form together, and check your bite after bonding.

Steps

  1. We begin with a conversation to set the direction for the color and shape of your front teeth.
  2. Where possible, we propose the approach that removes less tooth structure first.
  3. You confirm the shade against a sample and decide.
  4. After bonding, we check the color and contact surfaces together and adjust.

What we confirm at the consultation

Depending on how much the tooth is shaped, some sensitivity can occur. At the consultation we go over the changes to expect and how to care for the result.

General and restorative care

We check areas troubled by cavities, cracked teeth or old restorations. We look first at ways to save the natural tooth, then explain the treatment you need, the restoration process and the expected number of visits.

Steps

  1. We first hear what hurts and what you dislike, and take only the scans that are needed.
  2. We explain the cases that can be treated first, and look together at which teeth can be kept.
  3. When needed we use anesthesia, agree on a signal, and then begin.
  4. After treatment we set what to watch for and when to come back.

What we confirm at the consultation

The order of treatment can change with the condition of your teeth. If anything is uncomfortable, let us know with the signal during treatment.
