Intra-oral photographs and digital x-rays

This appointment involves very careful assessment of your individual case. We believe that an educated and well informed patient is a happy and satisfied patient. The consultation usually takes half hour, during which time you will meet the specialist doctor at the centre, followed by detailed discussion of your dental and medical history , and your aims for treatment. We will then undertake a very careful and detailed examination of your mouth, including an oral health screening. You will have any necessary x-rays taken, and a set of intra-oral photographs done and begin the detailed discussion about your problem and the different treatment options available to you along with the costs involved. Once planning is complete, you will be mailed a comprehensive treatment plan, outlining everything that was discussed at your initial assessment and detailing all the timings and costs of your treatment. This helps reiterate the information you were given during your visit.

Most patients are slightly nervous about this phase of their treatment, but there really is no need to be. We do everything possible to make your treatment as stress-free as possible. Your appointment duration will range from 30 mins- 1 1/2 hours during which extreme care will be taken to respect your comfort and timings.

Prior to initiation of each treatment you will be explained about the procedure and a written consent will be taken. During the treatment sessions you can watch your favorite programs or listen to music which help you relax. After your session you will be given a home care instruction leaflet to cope up with after hours of your visit. We use only the best quality and certified materials and equipment for our patients.

After the completion of your primary aim of seeking dental care, we will discuss on further course of action to prevent disease and maintain your oral health. A detailed discussion will be done again to discuss and compare pre and post treatment evaluation.

Infection Control: Once your treatment is finished our cross infection support staff will process the equipment that we have used. It arrives in the processing room where the staff sort the equipment into sterilizable and non-sterilizable equipment. Any equipment that we cannot sterilize is destroyed. The reusable dental instruments are cleaned in ultrasonic disinfector. Then the instruments are seal packed and sterilized in a surgical sterilizer at 1210C under pressurized steam. The packets are then stored in a UV chamber until next use.
