At an intake consultation for periodontitis, we carry out a thorough assessment of your oral health. Periodontitis is a serious inflammation of the gums that can lead to tooth loss if it is not treated properly. During the intake, the dentist will go through the following steps:

1. Medical history: You will be asked about your medical history, any symptoms you have and your oral hygiene habits. This helps us build a complete picture of your health.

2. Oral examination: We carry out a visual inspection of your mouth. The dentist looks at the health of your gums, the presence of plaque and tartar, and the depth of the pockets (the spaces between your gums and teeth).

3. X-rays: Sometimes X-rays are taken to assess the bone structure around your teeth and to see whether there is any bone loss.

4. Treatment plan: Based on the findings, a treatment plan is drawn up. This can range from improved oral hygiene to professional dental cleaning or, in more severe cases, surgical treatment.

The aim of the intake is to gain a clear picture of your situation and to work together on effective treatment for periodontitis. It is important to be open and honest during this process so that you can receive the best possible care.

Implant intake

At an intake consultation for implant treatment, we assess your oral health and your suitability for dental implants. This process is essential to ensure that you receive the right treatment. These are the main steps usually covered during the intake:

1. Medical history: You will be asked about your medical history, any existing conditions, the medication you take and your oral hygiene habits. This helps the dentist understand whether there are any factors that could affect the treatment.

2. Oral examination: The implantologist carries out a thorough examination of your mouth. This includes checking your teeth, gums and overall oral health. They also look at the space where the implant will be placed.

3. X-rays: X-rays or 3D scans are taken to assess the bone structure and the position of your teeth. This is important for determining whether there is enough bone for the implant and for planning the best placement.

4. Assessment of suitability: Based on the information gathered, the dentist assesses whether you are a good candidate for implants. Factors such as bone density, gum health and general health all play a part.

5. Discussing the treatment plan: If you are suitable for implant treatment, the implantologist will draw up a treatment plan. This includes information about the procedure, the expected results, the timeline and any aftercare.

6. Questions and concerns: This is also the time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. The dentist will give you information about what to expect and how to prepare for the procedure.

The aim of the intake is to make sure you are well informed and that the treatment can be carried out safely and effectively. It is important to be frank during this process so that you can receive the best possible care.
