You don't need to prepare much for your first consultation, but a few things help Paul give you the most accurate picture on the day.
Worth bringing
- Any existing dentures, even old or broken ones - they help show your dental history and current situation
- Your health fund card or DVA/concession card, so Paul's team can talk through what your cover might contribute
- Any referral letter or documentation from your dentist, if you have one - though it's not required to book
- A list of current medications and any relevant health conditions
- A written list of your own questions, so nothing gets forgotten in the moment
What to expect once you're there
Paul discusses your dental history, lifestyle, and what you're hoping for, then assesses your gums and jaw. He'll explain your options and likely costs plainly, and there's no pressure to decide anything on the day - you'll leave with a written quote and a clear picture of what's next.
No referral needed
You don't need a referral from a dentist to book - a dental prosthetist is qualified to assess and treat you directly for most denture work. If your case involves extractions or implants, Paul will coordinate with your dentist or surgeon for those specific steps.
