The planning of an implant case is of prime importance and in this section
we have tried to break it down into smaller parts. The information here is
designed to give a brief indication of the necessary planning and further
advice should be sought for actual cases.

|
As every patient has individual expectations and needs the first element
is patient evaluation. The benefits and risks of implants should be fully
explained to the patient along with the procedures involved. Should the
patient prove suitable after the necessary dental/medical history is taken
and all contraindications investigated then impressions can be taken for
pre-operative diagnostics and treatment planning.

The cast study models will be articulated and a diagnostic wax-up
produced. This gives a good indication of where the implants could be
placed and offers the opportunity for the patient to see how their case
is being planned.

|
|
 |
|
A treatment plan costing can
also be produced at this time
which shows the laboratory
costing for the proposed
implant work.
|
|
 |
|
|
This will include all pre-operative diagnostics, temporary denture/bridge-
work, the chosen restoration and all laboratory implant components. It
is a comprehensive and itemised plan which can be used to assist with
the costing for your patient.
