Dental Treatment Consent Form

Please read sign and initial next to every checked box

1. DRUGS AND MEDICATIONS

I understand that antibiotics and analgesics and other medications can cause allergic reactions causing redness and swelling of tissues, pain, itching, vomiting, and/or anaphylactic shock(severe allergic reaction)

2. CHANGES IN TREATMENT PLAN

I understand that altering procedures may be necessary due to conditions found during treatment not originally diagnosed at examination; the most common being root canal therapy following routine restorative procedures. I permit the Dentist to make any/all changes and additions as necessary.

3. REMOVAL OF TEETH

Alternatives to removal have been explained to me (root canal therapy, crowns and periodontal surgery) and I authorize the Dentist to remove the following teeth,

. I understand removing teeth does not always remove all the infection, if present, and it may be necessary to have further treatment. I understand the risks involved in having teeth removed, inducting but not limited to; pain, swelling, spread of infection, dry socket, loss of feeling in teeth, lips, tongue and surrounding tissue (Paresthesia) for an indefinite period of time (days or months) of fractured jaw. I understand I may need further treatment by a specialist or even hospitalization if complications arise during or following treatment, the cost of which is my responsibility.

4. CROWNS, ONLAY, INLAY, BRIDGES AND CAPS

I understand that sometimes it is not possible to match the color of natural teeth exactly with artificial teeth. I further understand that I may be wearing temporary crowns, which may come off easily and that I must be careful to ensure that they are kept on until the permanent crowns are delivered. I realize the final opportunity to make changes in my new crown, bridge, or cap (including shape, fit, size, and color will be before cementation.

5. ALL PORCELAIN RESTORATIONS

I understand that all porcelain restorations by the nature of the material and its properties pose a risk for breakage and chipping. I understand that it becomes my full responsibility (financially) to accept any risk involved.

6. DENTURES, COMPLETE OR PARTIAL

I realize that full or partial dentures are artificial, constructed of plastic, metal, and/or porcelain. Toe problems of wearing these appliances have been explained to me, including looseness, soreness, and possible breakage. I realize the final opportunity to make changes in my new dentures (including shape, fit, size, placement, and color) will be the "teeth in wax" try in visit. I understand that most dentures require relining approximately three to twelve months after initial placement. The cost for this procedure is not included in the initial denture fee.

7. ENDODONTIC TREATMENT (ROOT CANAL)

I realize there is no guarantee that root canal treatment will save my tooth, and complications may occur from the treatment. Occasionally metal objects are cemented in the tooth or extended through the root, which does not necessarily affect the success of the treatment, I understand that occasionally additional surgical procedures may be necessary following root canal treatment (apicoectomy).

8. PERIODONTAL LOSS (TISSUE & BONE)

I understand that I have a serious condition, causing gum and bone inflammation that may lead to the loss of teeth. Alternative treatment plans have been explained to me, (gum surgery, extractions etc.) I understand that undertaking any dental procedures may have a future adverse effect on my periodontal condition.

9. FILLINGS

I understand that care must be exercised in chewing on fillings especially during the first 24 hours to avoid breakage. I understand that a more extensive filling than originally diagnosed may be required due to additional decay. I Understand that significant sensitivity is a common after effect of a newly placed filling.

I understand that dentistry is not an exact science, therefore, reputable practitioners cannot fully guarantee results. I acknowledge that no guarantee or assurance has been made by anyone regarding the dental treatment which I have requested and authorized. I have had the opportunity to read this form and ask questions. My questions have been answered to my satisfaction. I consent to the proposed treatment.

Unlike insurance covered crowns, Zirconia crowns include material that may last a lifetime.
