With Lithuania under quarantine, we are all faced with daily challenges. The extraordinary situation affects all areas of life, not least dental services. The founder of CLINIC | DPC, implant dentist Simonas Bankauskas, says that nowadays, patients are faced with a variety of frightening and worrying situations, so during the quarantine period the clinic does not stop its work, and it provides emergency care in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, and Mažeikiai. It also provides remote consultations.
During quarantine – remote consultations
This is not new to the clinic, as has used this kind of communication with patients before. “Modern technology enables to communicate through various communication channels, so current and future patients can contact us by phone, private Facebook messages, e-mail and Skype “, the doctor said about the conditions of communication with patients. “We can provide consultations, treatment plans, and schedule elective surgeries remotely so that the patient only has to come in for, say, an implant surgery.”
Simonas Bankauskas notes that people need a remote consultation not only in urgent cases when they can no longer tolerate the toothache, but also when they are undergoing elective treatment. “During this period, for example, patients who have had an implant inserted before quarantine are particularly lost. We have been receiving calls lately when patients want to consult us about their implant, even though they are not experiencing any pain or discomfort, they just had to miss a prophylactic check-up after surgery due to the quarantine, but we talk to everyone on the phone, ask how they are feeling, and reassure them”.
Because dental visits are limited during the quarantine period, people who have started the procedure are worried that delayed visits could harm their treatment. The doctor is quick to reassure that this will not be the case, but of course, delaying a few visits will prolong the process. In addition, for customers who have waited a long time after quarantine, can offer procedures such as single-moment implantation or “All on 4”.
“Single-moment dental implantation is an advanced treatment method that allows us to perform two procedures on a patient in the same visit: removing the unhealthy tooth, its root or root and immediately replacing it with an implant. With this method of treatment, the patient does not have to wait 2-6 months after the tooth extraction for the implant to be placed”, says the specialist.
CLINIC | DPC clinic also offers the “All-on-4” implant treatment technique, where all the patient’s teeth are restored in just one visit. During the procedure, decayed, severely damaged teeth are removed and replaced with implants on which temporary teeth are placed. This effectively and quickly restores full chewing function and a beautiful smile in just one day.
