Consultations
Initial consultations are free in Krakow but will be charged for in Wakefield (£45), Leeds (£45) and London (£69). If you start treatment within 4 weeks of drawing the treatment plan, Indexmedica UK will refund you the cost of the consultation once the treatment is done. The price of the Initial Assessment depends on actual offers and you will be quoted the exact amount prior to finalizing your appointment. During your consultation in London, Leeds or Wakefield a panoramic X-ray (OPG) will be required to assess the state of your teeth and mouth. Additional fee of £57 or £45 (respectively) for that X-ray have to be paid on the day in London, Wakefield or Leeds Dental Practice.
Because dental situations can change rapidly, quotations are valid for 90 days and only if there has not been a change in the dental situation which would require additional dental work than that quoted for. Within few days after your Initial Assessment you will receive a personalised Treatment Plan (or Plans) from our dentists in Krakow, where you you will find adequate information on the treatment options available to you, together with their consequences, costs and possible risks. Once receiving the treatment plan (plans), on your request, you will be able to discuss with our dentist over the phone, the options available in order to select a course of treatment that is medically sound, aesthetically pleasing and financially affordable to you.
Cancellation
Dental practice in London, Leeds and Wakefield operate a verifications system by calling all patients 48 hours prior to appointment, to confirm their attendance. Once confirmed, you can not change the time and date of visit. Should you be late for your appointment dentist can refuse to see you that day and can offer you a different date. Should you not turn up for your appointment at all, London, Leeds or Wakefield dental practice will ask you for a deposit of £30 at the time of booking your next appointment.
If, for any reason, you do not present yourself on time and in a state that the consultation can be performed, your appointment will be cancelled, and we will not be able to give you a re-compensation. In certain cases we may need to move your appointment. In these case we will notify you as soon as the need for rescheduling arises, and offer you alternative times.
Cancellations for scheduled dental treatment in Krakow are only accepted in writing (e-mails or post sent directly to Indexmedica UK) and must be received no later than 72 hours (3 working days) in advance. In the case of cancellation for a patient’s first visit, there is no cancellation fee. However, due to the restrictive nature of the timing of treatments, a cancellation penalty of £50 will be charged for the cancellation of a subsequent visit.
Guarantee
All patients get a three year guarantee (from the moment of finishing the treatment plan) for all fillings, and a two year guarantee for prosthetic restorations made in our clinic. Composite fillings which are located in the surroundings of the tooth cervix (neck) are covered by a one year guarantee. Osstem and MiS implants are covered by a lifelong guarantee (for the implant screws). In the case of implant loss or damage (due to material defects or implant damages requiring its removal) a patient can decide to have the implant re-placed and will receive the implant screw free of charge, under the guarantee.
