treatment, the known risks associated with implant treatment, the feasible treatment alternatives, that you have been
given the opportunity to ask questions and all your questions have been answered in a satisfactory manner, to your
understanding. lease read this form carefully before signing it and ask about anything that you do not understand.
!. I have been informed and understand the purpose and the nature of the implant surgery procedure. I understand
the procedure that is necessary to accomplish the placement of the implant in the bone. I also understand that upon
entering the surgical site, it may be determined that the implant placement is not possible.
". I understand that #r. $raham has carefully e%amined my mouth. <ernatives to implant treatment have been
e%plained to me, namely dentures, bridgework or spaces. I have tried or considered these methods, but desire implant
treatment to help secure the replacement restoration's( for my missing tooth)teeth.
*. I have been informed of the possible risks and complications involved with implant restorations that include but are
not limited to the following+ recession of the gum around the implant or ad,acent teeth, implant fracture, screw
loosening or fracture, acrylic or porcelain fracture or cement failure.
-. I have been informed of the possible risks following surgical procedures . pain or discomfort, swelling, bruising,
bleeding'heamatoma( or infection but with careful technique and medication these can be kept to a minimum.
I have also been informed of the risks of damage to ad,acent structures such as teeth, nerves or blood vessels but with
careful planning these risks are very small. There is a slightly increased risk of nerve damage where implants are placed
in the lower ,aw. These nerves are called the /Inferior #ental0, /1ong 2uccal0, /1ingual0 and /3ental0 nerves.
4. There may be some minor scarring of the gum but with time this will fade.
The gum around ad,acent teeth)crowns)veneers)bridgework may recede slightly as part of the natural healing process.
This may lead to additional treatment being required or crowns)bridgework which appear slightly longer.
5. #r $raham has e%plained that there is no method to accurately predict the gum and bone healing capabilities in each
patient following tooth e%traction or the placement of the implant. If there is inadequate bone or gum tissue, there may
be a need for additional treatment. This is in the form of $rafting procedures. These can cost between 6 "47 8 6 947 per
procedure. :hould these be necessary, additional consent procedures and estimates may be required.
;. It has been e%plained to me that in a small number of cases '<4=( implants fail and need to be removed. In most cases
a new implant can be placed after a sufficient healing period. &ll treatment is guaranteed for a period of !" months from
the date of the implant placement. This guarantee e%cludes trauma or neglect of the implant and requires the patient to
attend for regular e%aminations every 5 months.
>. I understand that e%cessive smoking 'more than 4 cigarettes a day or equivalent( may affect gum healing and may
limit the success of the implant. I accept that if I continue to smoke during treatment I will be charged for a
replacement implants should there be a failure of one or more of them.
9. I agree to follow the home care instructions provided to me.
I agree to report to #r. $raham for regular e%aminations as required.
!7. I understand that %8rays will be taken before, during and after treatment. & number of %8rays are required during
the course of the implant therapy and that every situation is different. In comple% cases it may be necessary for a CT
scan.
!!. I understand that I may not have sufficient bone for the placement of implants. I consent to the use of grafting
materials in an attempt to create more bone. These materials may include products derived animals 'see additional
consent form( or are synthetic.
!". To my knowledge, I have given an accurate report of my physical and mental health history. I have reported any
prior allergic or unusual reactions to drugs, food, insect bites, anesthetics, pollen, dust, 1ate%, any blood or body
diseases, gum or skin reactions, abnormal bleeding or any other condition

be used for the purposes of teaching, marketing or in case presentations. I understand that my name)identity will not
be disclosed in these situations without prior written consent.
!-. I consent to details of my implant treatment being kept for the purpose of audit.
!4. I understand that with any dental treatment, my teeth, gums or bone can be damaged by plaque, calculus 'tartar(
or bacteria and I must do my utmost to remove the plaque off all surfaces of all my teeth, restorations and)or implants
every day. If I do not clean my teeth and)or implants properly, I may get decay and)or gum disease and my
treatment)implants may fail.
