The patient's personal responsibility for oral health is increasingly
determined by offers from media, industry, healthcare providers and health insurance
plans. Full cost coverage, high-tech promises and loans present a portfolio of
opportunities for patients “tired” about teeth. Patient expectations of dental implants
include the values comfort, appearance, function, hygiene and health. The decision for
implant placement is determined by patient’s dental awareness and well-being with
their natural teeth. If implant surgery is safe, free of complications, and the
implantprosthetic restoration appears naturally, many customers are satisfied over the
long term.
