DOCTOR Q&A

Frequently Asked

Common questions from patients answered by the doctor.

Q1

I am afraid of implant surgery — is it safe?

It is done under local anesthesia after CBCT 3D imaging maps nerves and vessels precisely. PCA patient-controlled analgesia and lasers keep pain to a minimum.

Q2

Is bone grafting often needed?

It is needed when bone density is insufficient, but we plan to minimize grafting wherever possible. We decide after precise CT analysis.

Q3

Can I have implants with diabetes or high blood pressure?

We check your overall condition and proceed within a safe range. Emergency equipment is always on hand, so you can be at ease.

Q4

What is your most important principle in practice?

We listen fully to your situation first and recommend only what is truly needed. All costs are explained before we start, and nothing is added afterwards without your consent.

Q5

What happens at the first visit?

Consultation, precise diagnosis (X-ray, CBCT, oral exam) and an explanation of the treatment plan — then we begin only the items you have reviewed and agreed to.

Q6

How does aftercare work?

Regular check-ups and our after-service system keep monitoring your condition after treatment. If anything comes up, contact us any time.
