Periodontal Assessment
We take gum treatment seriously.
Full periodontal assessment ($245.00) is an essential part of correct diagnosis and effective treatment. As a part of the assessment, we thoroughly check and document all indicators related to your gum health; periodontal pockets depth, recession, mobility, furcation involvement, and signs of inflammation such as bleeding or the presence of pus. Gum disease affects not only gums but tooth-supporting bone structures. Necessary x-rays (OPG -panoramic $120 and periapical $35/each) are taken to confirm your diagnosis.
We discuss patients’ concerns in detail and go over available treatment options. By the end of the assessment, we can give you an estimate covering the costs involved in each appointment.
If you have any questions about periodontal assessments or seek second opinion in regard to your gum health call us today on 09 600-3110.
Please note we take no responsibility for any dental restorations popping up during procedures. Fixing or replacing restorations will be at an additional cost to you.
Payment is expected at the time of your appointment. Please allow an additional 5% of the total bill for any unforeseen circumstances which may arise during treatment.
Please be informed that any two consecutive canceled appointments automatically result in full, non-refundable upfront payments for any future visits.
Please note we regularly take extra-oral photos for identification and and intra-oral photos for clinical records. If you do not wish your photographs taken, please notify us prior to confirming your appointment.
