Every year, dental treatment problems are becoming more and more common in increasingly younger people. Insufficient vitamins, ecology, water hardness - these are some of the reasons for the development of caries and pulpitis, and the need to install implants is becoming more and more frequent among young people.
Studies confirm that only a few people, about 10% of the population, visit the dentist once every six months for a preventive checkup. Most of them go to the doctor when there is already pain, a filling has fallen out, a piece of tooth has broken off, and gums are bleeding. And there are those who endure the pain until the last minute and then simply make an appointment for extraction.
Of course, remembering a bad experience, wrong choice of clinic or doctor, many people have been "discouraged" from visiting dentists. How to avoid this? Let's together with a specialist, make a useful hint.
Looking for a doctor
There is no shortage of dentists in Cherkassy, the choice is huge, as they say, for every taste and purse. However, do not forget that the success of treatment or restoration of teeth depends largely on the professionalism of the doctor, the level of the clinic.
It is not a problem to get detailed information about a doctor today - you can use the advice of acquaintances, read reviews on the Internet. It is a good sign if the clinic has existed for many years and retains its core staff of specialists.
For example, dental clinic"Bagita" has been working in Cherkassy for 25 years and during this time has accumulated a large base of regular patients. Among which, by the way, there are both children and adults. Experienced doctors with equal success can treat a baby's milk tooth and carry out complex prosthetics for his grandmother.
Get a diagnosis
To do this, it is necessary to make an appointment with a doctor, and even the right profile. If it is a standard treatment - it is a therapist, if it is necessary to restore the tooth row, then a more detailed consultation and, most likely, the consultation of several specialists will be required. This is exactly how Bagita Clinic examines patients planning implantation with the involvement of all the necessary doctors at once.
Negotiate a price
The cost of treatment and restoration of teeth depends not only on the diagnosis, but also on the method of solving your problems, the materials used by the doctor, his qualifications… and our own knowledge. For example, many people make the mistake of thinking that an implant is a ready-made artificial tooth and believe that "there is nothing to charge the patient more than the cost of the implant". With this approach, there are no surprises in the calculations.
In fact, in order to get a complete tooth, three elements must be placed - the implant - the "root" of the tooth, the adapter or connection between the implant and the crown and the crown itself - the visible part of the artificial tooth, — explains the dentist. — The quality of workmanship of these three elements largely determines the final cost of treatment. A "turnkey" tooth placed on implants made in Israel, Korea, Germany or the USA will already cost differently.
That is why we always explain to our patients the differences between implant manufacturers and why the prices differ. But in any case, you should avoid prices that are too low. Unfortunately, the pursuit of cheapness can eventually lead to problems. Or, at the very least, additional costs.
