The Consultation

First impressions count

Toby Talbot considers this initial interview as key to any future treatment. During this time he gathers all the relevant information he needs for his assessment.

Patients will be reassured by Toby's relaxed manner and his ability to remove any anxieties they may have. There is an air of mutual openess about expectations and potential achievements.

No two patients are ever the same

Over the course of an hour, Toby will ask a series of structured questions in order to create the most personalised treatment plan. This is usually more than enough time for the patient to fully communicate their problem and go over previous dental and medical history.

Other information collected may include impressions and x-rays of the mouth to allow all options to be evaluated.

Any problem may have a multitude of solutions. Toby will explain the benefits and risks, then allow the patient to select for themselves the most appropriate treatment that “fits” both their budget and their schedules.

A subsequent meeting allows for a full explanation of those options and a subsequent written report includes the future costs for the treatment.

Short term "quick fix" solutions always lead to disappointment. Toby Talbot takes a more long term view of patient care, seeing it as a continuous process.
