1. What happens in a consultation? (Read more...)
During a consultation, the dentist first addresses the reason for the patient’s visit, like a toothache, or bleeding gums, or simply just to have a regular check up. The dentist thoroughly checks the overall oral health by clinical examination of the teeth, gums, tongue and other surrounding structures. Dental x-rays, when needed are to be taken to aid in diagnosing any dental problems suspected. Afterwards, he will discuss with the patient his overall assessment and treatment plan.
2. Why are dental fees so high? (Read more...)
When compared to other medical fees, dental fees are actually low. In fact, unlike most medical costs, dental fees have not kept up pace with inflation. And yet dentists must also pay the high costs of maintaining an elaborate array of dental equipment. We want to make your dental visit comfortable for you. We fit out our clinics with electronically controlled chairs, examining lights, x-ray system, curing systems, instruments, supplies, sterilization systems, computer, patient education systems and others. Our dentists and staff continuously educate themselves on advances in dental techniques and materials to make sure that we only give you the highest standards of dental practice. We have taken every step not to pass these expenses on to you.
