Great question! Dental disease can progress slowly, or super fast.
In order for AirSmile dentists to offer you a comparison quote you can both rely on, they need to know that, in principle, the disease that was diagnosed by your last dentist is relatively unchanged. Six months is the maximum amount of time we allow because in our experience, disease - in most cases - hasn’t progressed so far that it would cause the plan to change rapidly (but it does happen so be prepared!).
When you go to your consultation to confirm the treatment plan, both you and your new AirSmile dentist can assume that the treatment needed is relatively the same as you’ve been told by your previous dentist. In the T&C’s, you’ll read that you can’t hold any dentist to the quote they provide through AirSmile and it’s their duty of care to do a thorough exam, diagnose the disease and suggest the best course of treatment as they deem appropriate and ethical.
For your benefit, please allow our AirSmile dentist to do the necessary checks and balances to create their own plan for you on the day. This is actually one of the best things about AirSmile - total transparency and upfront cost comparison. You have control because you know what’s been diagnosed by two different dentists and now you can make an informed decision on the best care for you.
If your treatment plan has expired, book a CHECK UP via AirSmile and search through our directory to find your perfect dentist and you’ll be AirSmiling in no time.
