Step 1 of 2

You the patient have the right to accept or reject dental treatment recommended by your dentist. Prior to consenting to treatment, you should carefully consider the anticipated benefits and commonly known risks of the recommended procedure, alternative treatments, or the option of no treatment. *

It is very important that you provide your dentist with accurate information before, during and after treatment. It is equally important that you follow your dentist’s advice and recommendations regarding medication, pre and post treatment instructions, referrals to other dentists or specialists, and return for scheduled appointments. If you fail to follow the advice of your dentist, you may increase the chances of a poor outcome. *

Please read and initial the work to be done below, then read and sign the section at the bottom of the form.

EXAMINATION AND DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES I understand that the initial visit may require radiographs in order to complete the examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan *

DRUGS AND MEDICATION I understand that antibiotics, analgesics and other medications may cause allergic reaction causing redness, swelling of tissues, pain, itching and vomiting, and/or anaphylactic shock. I understand that the administration of local anesthetics may result in temporary or permanent paresthesia (numbness) of involved teeth, tissues, and associated structures. I understand that failure to take medications prescribed for me in the manner prescribed may offer risks of continued or aggravated infection, pain, and potential resistance to effect treatment of my condition. I accept these risks by consenting to the use of local anesthetics during my dental appointments. If I have a medical condition that necessitates antibiotic pre-medication before dental treatment, it is my responsibility to notify the dentist. I assume all responsibility for all medical consequences if the dental office is unaware of my need for pre-medication. *

CHANGES IN TREATMENT PLAN I understand that my treatment plan is only an estimate and subject to modification/changes depending on unforeseen or un-diagnosable circumstances that may arise during the course of treatment. I understand that any alterations to treatment may affect the total cost of my treatment and accept responsibility for any and all expenses regardless of third party involvement. *

DENTURES – COMPLETE OR PARTIAL: I realize that full or partial dentures are artificial, constructed of plastic, metal and or porcelain. The problems of wearing those 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 the initial denture fee. We will repair/replace restorations at no additional cost for a period of time listed below on either materials or labor, if there is a proven failure in restoration. *

For Dentures we will repair/replace for 1year from the replacement date, if a tooth chips, breaks or flange breaks. Accidents such as dropping your denture are not covered. Succeeding years shall incur charges. Cost of replacement for dentures: • In the 1st year incurs NO CHARGE • In the 2nd year incurs a charge of 20% from the actual cost • In the 3rd year incurs a charge of 40% from the actual cost • In the 4th year incurs a charge of 50% from the actual cost *

I understand that dentistry is not an exact science; therefore, reputable practitioners cannot properly guarantee results. I acknowledge than no guarantee or assurance has been made by anyone regarding the dental treatment that I have authorized. I hereby authorize the doctors and staff members to proceed with and perform dental treatment as explained to me. *
