What Does a Consultation Involve?
A consultation is a conversation with your dentist about your concerns and goals. Your dentist will take a health history, examine your face and jaw, and discuss the options that may be suitable for you, including their benefits, risks, alternatives and costs. Not every concern needs treatment, and some options may not be suitable for everyone. Any treatment decision is made together with you after your assessment.
Our consultations cover both appearance-related and jaw-related concerns, tailored to your individual needs.
