| Q. | Will I be provided with my treatment options? |
| A. | The many solutions which advanced dental technology and techniques allow can provide a range of treatment options. The feasible treatment options for your individual case will be identified and explained in detail, and later following discussion, these options and associated cost estimates will be provided in written form to you as your Personal Dental Report.
This report will provide the basis of our advice to you regarding how best to approach your dental problems. Working together you can then choose the option you feel is more appropriate for you given your personal preferences and expectations from complexity of treatment to timelines and cost considerations. |

| Q. | How long will my treatment take? |
| A. | This will depend on the complexity of the dentistry required to deal with your requirements and your also your personal preferences. Remember many dental problems have been developing over a number of years but in most cases once the immediate aspects of treatment have been accomplished the timing of definitive treatment can be customised to meet your needs.
In general it is the sequence of treatment rather than the schedule that is the most important consideration in providing long-term solutions to your dental problems. | | | |
