Most patients get apprehensive with the idea of getting a dental implant. This is due to the popular belief that getting a dental implant can be a tedious procedure and expensive. The concerns are much higher when you are getting a dental implant done in India or in any other foreign country.
Every year we get hundreds of patients across the world coming to India for getting their dental treatment done and as a specialist in dental implants, many of them come to us for implants. While there are a lot of good dental clinics in the country, dental implants require specialized skills and infrastructure. We felt it would be helpful for our patients, and more so for international patients to have a checklist on what all they should consider before they decide on getting a dental implant in India.
Common Questions to Ask Your Dental Clinic in India
- Ask them for video / Text testimonials
- Ask the dental clinic for any previous cases that they have done similar to yours. Ask them if they can share photographs.
- Sometimes they might be able to share the patient details as a reference. Check on that, though it also depends on whether the patient has given them the approval to share the details. But this could be great to judge the credibility of the clinic.
