Planning your care
Ask the treating service for a written plan. Appointment numbers and time away depend on the procedure, results and individual needs.
- What examination is needed before treatment, and are staged procedures or treatment of both sides planned?
- Ask for separate dates for treatment, healing reviews, adjustments and any final restoration or device fitting.
- Which restrictions and follow-up arrangements apply before travelling or returning to normal activities?
