What to Expect
For Implant Screening Appointments:
Patients are briefly evaluated to determine their suitability for treatment in the Postgraduate Periodontics clinic. Accepted patients are given an appointment to return for a consultation. Recent complete dental x-rays should be brought to this appointment. If complete dental x-rays are not available, panoramic x-ray can be taken the same day ($65.00).
For Initial Consultation Appointments:
Patients are given a comprehensive periodontal examination, diagnosis and treatment plan. A current, complete set of diagnostic x-rays are required. If needed x-rays are not available, a complete full mouth set of x-rays can be ordered by appointment ($65.00). Usually at the conclusion of the initial consultation, patients will be educated about their condition and they will be given treatment recommendations.
