This document outlines the steps involved in a dental implant journey with Smile Implant Clinics, beginning with scheduling a free initial consultation. Following the consultation, patients will have an examination, CT scan, and review appointment to discuss costs and consent forms. The implant surgery is then performed, followed by review appointments to ensure proper healing. Impressions are taken a few months later to create the restoration, which is fitted after being made by a laboratory. Annual reviews are then recommended to monitor implant health. The process involves multiple appointments and payments spread across the treatment period.

3. Consultation
Your first consultation will be with our treatment coordinator. During this, a
rough estimate will be given of your overall treatment costs and you can raise
any concerns/questions you may have. This appointment is free of charge.

4. Examination with our Dental Surgeon
After the consultation with our treatment coordinator, an appointment will be
made to have a dental examination with our dental surgeon. The examination
fee is £50.00

5. CT Scan
In order to plan your implant surgery safely, we will need to perform a
CBCT scan.
This scan is a 3D dimensional x-ray which will help our dental surgeon to
diagnose and plan your treatment accordingly.

6. Report
After your CBCT scan, the dental surgeon will send you a report from its findings
which will be sent to you via EchoSign. It is important to read through your
report carefully.

7. Review/Costs
During the review appointment, the dental surgeon will discuss your report in
detail and go through all the questions you may have. You will also be informed
of the overall treatment costs.

8. Consent
The next stage in the process is to read, understand and sign all consents. All
relevant consent forms will be sent to you via EchoSign. No treatment can go
ahead until all consents have been understood and signed. Please contact the
clinic if you have any questions in the meantime.

9. Surgery
You will attend your scheduled implant appointment. You will be taken down to
the recovery room by our dental nurse. The surgeon will have a brief discussion
with you regarding the procedure and will answer all your questions.
The implant surgery will be carried out in our specially designed theatre suite
Once surgery is finished post operative care will be explained to you in detail.
You will also receive a phone call the next day to check how you are.
50% of the overall payment will be taken at this appointment.

10. Review/X-ray
A review appointment will take place 10-14 days after the implant has been
fitted.
When you attend your review appointment 10-14 days after surgery, your
dental surgeon will ensure the healing process is running smoothly.
You are welcome to call us if you have any problems or concerns.

11. Impression
The next stage is the impression appointment. This is usually 2-3 months after
the implant surgery.
At this appointment impressions will be taken and you will need to book in for
a fit appointment in 2-3 weeks time.
On the day of this appointment, you will be asked to pay 25% of the remaining
invoice.

12. Laboratory
Your work then gets sent off to a dedicated, highly skilled technician and is
usually sent back to us within 2-3 weeks.

13. Fit
Your dental surgeon will fit your new restorations and make any adjustments you
may need. Please ensure you ask any questions you may have. The remaining
payment of 25% will be taken.

14. Annual Review
We strongly recommend a review appointment once a year in order to check the
health of your implant. This is to check how well the implant has settled and prevent
future problems. This appointment will be charged at £50.00.
