TREATMENT OPTIONS

Understand your options. Plan with your clinician.

Five starting points. Your examination determines the next step.

Aesthetics & restoration

Veneers & ceramic crowns

What it is

A veneer covers the front of a tooth; a crown covers the tooth. They address different restorative needs.

Who it may suit

Discuss damaged teeth or appearance concerns with a dentist. Oral health, bite and the amount of remaining tooth affect the choice.

Process & days in Guangdong
  1. Clinical assessment
  2. Discuss design and materials
  3. Preparation and fitting, if indicated
  4. Review and care instructions

The number of visits, any laboratory work and the review schedule must be confirmed by the clinic.

Days in Guangdong are confirmed only after the clinic reviews the plan. No fixed stay or completion date is promised.

Questions before you travel

Is tooth preparation reversible?

Removing enamel is not reversible. Ask about the proposed preparation and alternatives before consenting.

Does “ceramic” identify the material?

Ask for the exact material and product, as well as the laboratory and follow-up arrangements.

A clinical decision

General information, not a diagnosis. Your treating clinician confirms suitability, risks, alternatives and follow-up after examination. Results and timing vary.

Implant dentistry

Dental implants

What it is

An implant is placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or other restoration.

Who it may suit

Process & days in Guangdong
  1. Examination and imaging
  2. Confirm the staged treatment plan
  3. Treatment and healing reviews
  4. Restoration and maintenance

A staged journey may involve separate trips. Healing and review intervals are individual; do not book a return treatment date before the clinician confirms it.

Questions before you travel

Can everything fit into one trip?

Do not assume so. Ask the clinician to separate assessment, treatment, healing reviews and the restoration before travel dates are set.

Which records should I keep?

Keep the implant brand and model, treatment record and the clinic’s follow-up instructions.

Orthodontics

Clear aligners

What it is

A series of custom-made, removable trays gradually moves teeth under clinical supervision.

Who it may suit

An orthodontic assessment considers tooth alignment and bite. An aligner brand cannot determine suitability on its own.

Process & days in Guangdong
  1. Orthodontic assessment
  2. Discuss suitability and visit needs
  3. Fitting and clinician-led reviews
  4. Retention planning

The treatment period, review frequency and required in-person visits are confirmed by the orthodontist.

Ormco also makes fixed brackets; Spark is its clear aligner system.

Questions before you travel

Can remote reviews replace clinic visits?

Necessary in-person care remains part of treatment. Agree the review arrangements with the treating orthodontist before travelling.

Is a digital preview the final result?

No. Ask the orthodontist how progress, changes to the plan and retention will be reviewed.

A clinical decision

General information, not a diagnosis. Your treating clinician confirms suitability, risks, alternatives and follow-up after examination. Results and timing vary.

Comprehensive care

Full-mouth rehabilitation

What it is

Comprehensive restorative care for problems across the mouth, potentially combining several treatments.

Who it may suit

People with extensive damage, wear or missing teeth may need a comprehensive assessment. The clinician decides the scope and sequence.

Process & days in Guangdong
  1. Comprehensive examination
  2. Discuss priorities and alternatives
  3. Staged treatment
  4. Review and long-term care plan

Trip count and length of stay remain open until the clinical sequence is confirmed.

Days in Guangdong are confirmed only after the clinic reviews the plan. No fixed stay or completion date is promised.

Questions before you travel

Is it a standard package?

No. Ask for a tooth-by-tooth or area-by-area plan, alternatives and a staged schedule.

When can travel dates be settled?

After the clinic confirms the clinical sequence and required visits. Leave room for changes after examination.

General information, not a diagnosis. Your treating clinician confirms suitability, risks, alternatives and follow-up after examination. Results and timing vary.

Removable prosthodontics

BPS complete dentures

What it is

Complete dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. BPS is Ivoclar’s clinical and laboratory denture workflow.

Who it may suit

A clinician assesses people missing all teeth in an arch and discusses removable dentures and alternatives. The clinic must confirm whether it offers the BPS workflow.

Process & days in Guangdong
  1. Clinical assessment
  2. Impressions and bite records
  3. Try-in and fitting
  4. Adjustment and review

Allow for fitting and adjustment visits; the clinic will confirm their number and spacing.

Questions before you travel

Does BPS describe one material?

It describes a workflow. Ask which materials and laboratory are proposed, and how fitting and adjustments are arranged.
