🕒 Why are follow-up visits necessary after a year?

✅ Follow-up examinations after 6-12 months are not a formality, but concern for the stability of the result. They allow the doctor to assess the condition of the implants, crowns, veneers and gums after the main treatment.

📌 It is especially important to come for a follow-up examination if you have:

• Implants installed - to make sure they have taken root and there is no inflammation.
• Prosthetics done - the doctor will check how the crown "fits", whether there is friction or wear.
• Veneers installed - it is important to notice in time if a microcrack has appeared or the color has changed.
• Periodontitis treated - to make sure the gums are healthy and the disease has not returned.

👨‍⚕️ At the doctor’s appointment:

• Check the bite and fixation of the structures
• If necessary, take a picture
• Update recommendations for hygiene and care
• Prescribe a preventive cleaning

⏱️ The ideal interval for a follow-up visit is once a year. Many clinics include it in the warranty service 💬 Check this in advance - it is convenient and economical.

📅 How often do I need to come for check-ups?

✅ Even after successful treatment, it is important not to “forget” about the dentist. Regular check-ups are a guarantee that the result will last for a long time and complications will not arise.

🔍 The recommended frequency is 1–2 times a year. But the exact schedule depends on the type of treatment and the patient’s health condition.

📌 Schedule of follow-up visits by type of treatment:

📲 Plan your next checkup in advance, especially if you are coming from another country!

📌 How it works:

• Send the images and a brief description of how you feel to the dental clinic where you were treated. Preferably via WhatsApp, email or the form on the website.
• The doctor will study the material, give feedback, recommendations, and, if necessary, advise whether it is worth coming in person.

💡 Suitable for:

• Checking the condition of implants or prostheses
• Control after gum treatment or whitening
• Consultations on care and prevention

✈️ When is the best time to fly back:

• If the treatment was complicated (bridges, All-on-4, bone grafting)
• In case of discomfort, inflammation or mechanical damage to the structure
• If the doctor recommends to personally examine the situation before the final stage (for example, fixing a permanent crown)

💬 How does the clinic contact the patient?
