The A to Z in preparing a case study for a dental business abroad to quote

1)Undertake a 3D CBCT scan in your home town and ensure a Maxilla-facial radiographer prepare the report, this detailed report (cost $150-$250) is your guarantee that all the technical details are available for the overseas dentist to provide a highly detailed treatment plan quote on the following dental crowns, dental bridges, dental implants, full mouth restoration etc. The following is assessed bone quantity, bone quality, risk of possible periodontitis, any infection pockets that could be present on the tooth, or tooth roots, small pockets of infections as well as temporomandibular risk if patient should suffer bruxism. This critical detailed report provides details to the very micron on the information for the dentist sitting in another country to provide an extensive and detailed quote for the patient.

a) Full detailed 3D CBCT X-ray report and the Large file ( Ensure you have gone to a X-ray company that can transfer this file to something like DropBox etc They can not be emailed as they are way too large , you will merely send the LINK of the scan. Many dodgy dentist carry out scans that they do not share and be aware
b) Full set of photographs of patients mouth
c) Photographs of a set of study models and bite
d) Video of patient saying the alphabet or " The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs"
e) Details of prior dental work the patient may have had and history
f) If they require Dental Implants, which implants they would want make and model) remember it is critical that if you are having implants placed overseas that you choose a make of implant that is available in your own home country to ensure you have great potential of ensuring spare dental implant components if you have problems. Warning, never have implants placed if the make is not available in your country, the risk is that the original implant might need removal if no spare parts are available.


2) Often the Company in Bangkok, TJ or Istanbul might request a Zoom call for further discussion and this is the perfect time to ensure that
the finer details are discussed. For example, has the company included all quotes on the basis of the patients requirements , for example
A) Does the quote include the dental crowns or bridgework inclusive of all Implant crowns manufactured in DEntal lab hand made crowns or did they quote on Cadcam printed crowns?
B) Were all costs of work included in the quote for example , X-rays , sterilisation . temporary crowns, impression models, study models, photography etc
C) Full discussion on the anti-aging aspect of dental crown work such as
lip to tooth ration , how much of the upper tooth is exposed when talking ( as we age the upper lip covers most of the upper tooth line and usually requires tooth lengthening to add the 1.5mm required to ensure the upper teeth are seen when patient is smiling or talking

D) Talking price with the potential clinics, always send your case study to at least 5 to 6 various dental practices to ensure you have received enough quotes to confirm that it is your worthwhile travelling and spending the money in case you might need multiple trips
E) Find out how many trips you might require and ask what steps are taken to ensure that the work they provide will be finalized with enough time for you to return to your home country. What if problems occur, what do they intend to do if you are not happy with the final outcome.
D) What are the qualifications of the dental surgeon , what before and after scan they provide and can you have a contact of 1 or 2 patients who have had dental work done with their company
E) Do they have their own dental lab, or do they use an external provider?

F) what happens if the dental work breaks in a short time?
G) Will the company reimburse travel costs if there are problems?
H) Will the company provide transport whilst under treatment?
I ) What are hidden costs that have not been mentioned in the quote?
J) you will want to say the following sounds " S, F and TH" These sounds are often changed if dental work is made too bulky or too long and speech is altered, this must be avoided at all costs

All of the above are critical in ensuring an outcome that is suitable for both patient and dentist.
If the dental practice shows disinterest in answering the above questions, then this will not be a suitable match for you and potential pricing problems and quality problems could occur.
