Dental consultation
A visit to discuss your concerns and possible treatment. The appropriate specialist depends on whether you need restorative, surgical, prosthodontic, orthodontic, root canal or gum care.
About Service
A consultation starts with your symptoms, dental history, health conditions and current medicines. The dentist then examines your mouth and considers whether further information is needed before planning care.
Consultations are available in restorative dentistry, oral surgery, prosthodontics, orthodontics, microscope-assisted root canal treatment and periodontics. Explain your concern when booking so the appointment matches your needs.
