- Severe tooth damage: when a tooth is significantly affected by caries or trauma and requires a crown or inlay.
- Bite problems: correction of malocclusion using various prosthetic solutions.
- Problems with existing prostheses: discomfort or damage to current crowns, bridges, or removable dentures.
- Aesthetic defects: improving the appearance of teeth with veneers, lumineers, and other aesthetic restorations.
How Is the Cost of a Prosthodontist Consultation Determined?
The cost of a prosthodontist consultation depends on several factors:
- Specialist’s qualification: consultations with more experienced doctors may be more expensive.
- Volume and complexity of diagnostics: additional diagnostic methods such as X-rays or CT scans increase the final cost.
- Clinic level: prestigious clinics with advanced equipment and higher service standards may charge more.
- Service package: the consultation fee may include not only the examination but also treatment planning, consultation with related specialists, or trial fitting.
How Does an Online Consultation Work and Is an X-Ray Necessary?
An online consultation with a prosthodontist is becoming increasingly popular. It is carried out as follows:
- Booking and preparation: the patient books an online consultation via the clinic’s website or by phone, providing basic information about the problem.
- Recommendations and treatment plan: after analyzing the provided information, the doctor evaluates the case and suggests a preliminary treatment plan.
An X-ray or CT scan is often essential for accurate diagnosis. Without it, the doctor cannot fully assess the condition of the roots, bone tissue, or hidden damage. Therefore, before an online consultation, it is recommended to take an X-ray and send it to the doctor.
