What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your Consultation will be with Dr Vincent Li.

 

After completing his undergraduate training at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Dr Li has worked in general dental practice and further honed his surgical skills with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery team at Salisbury District Hospital.

 

Dr Li obtained an MSc with distinction in Advanced General Dental Practice with the University of Birmingham. This provided further training to ensure that he is up to date with the most modern dental techniques. Dr Li has developed a keen interest in dental implantology and has completed a postgraduate diploma with a merit with the University of Bristol in this field.

 

Consultations are booked for 40-50 minutes. This allows both you and Dr Vincent Li plenty of time to discuss your reasons for considering dental implants and to identify, together, the best treatment plan for you.

 

A CT Scan is usually taken during this appointment which allows Dr Vincent Li to get a 360 degree view of your jaws. It allows him to make a clinical judgement on how the implants need to be placed and the amount/density of bone present in the proposed dental implant site. Should a CT Scan show compromised levels of bone, this needn’t adversely affect the success of the treatment. An artificial bone material can often be used to supplement and shape your existing bone levels. The full results of your CT Scan will be discussed at this appointment.

 

You will be presented with a draft treatment plan to take away with you to think about if you wish, before proceeding.

 

A more detailed treatment plan letter will be created and provided to you within 7 days outlining everything that was discussed, including treatment options available, benefits, associated risks and a full breakdown of costs.
