Consent forms
Before any treatment, you should know what it involves, what can go wrong and what the alternatives are. Each page below sets that out in plain English — read whichever applies to you, whether or not you're booked in with us.
Having a tooth removed
What an extraction involves, the risks including dry socket and nerve injury, and what to avoid afterwards.
Root canal treatment
Saving a tooth whose nerve has died — how it works, why it isn't guaranteed, and what happens if it doesn't.
Crowns, veneers and bridges
Rebuilding a tooth with porcelain — what's removed, what can go wrong, and how long the work lasts.
Dental implants
Replacing a missing tooth — guided surgery, the timeline, the risks, the cost and our warranty.
Gum treatment
Deep cleaning below the gum line — what it involves, why smoking matters, and the 3-monthly upkeep.
Teeth whitening
In-chair Pola whitening — the procedure, sensitivity, what won't whiten, and how long it lasts.
Bone grafting
Preserving bone after an extraction so an implant stays possible — the material used and the risks.
Having a filling
Tooth-coloured fillings — the procedure, what a deep filling means for the nerve, and why they can chip.
Occlusal splint
A night guard for grinding and clenching — how it's made, the adjustments, and what to expect at first.
Clear aligners
Angel Align treatment — wear time, reviews, the risks, refunds, and the retainers that follow.
Retainers after aligners
Why retainers matter, how to wear and care for them, and how repairs and replacements are handled.
More forms will be added here over time. If the treatment you're booked for isn't listed yet, we'll go through everything with you in person as usual — nothing changes.
Signing online, and what it means
If your dentist has asked you to complete a form before your appointment, each page walks you through it in three steps on your phone — open and read each section, fill in your details, then sign. It takes about five minutes, with no printing and no scanning. Every page also has a print button if you'd rather have it on paper.
Signing online confirms you've read and understood the information. It isn't consent on its own. Your dentist will still go through it with you and confirm your consent in person before any treatment starts, and you can change your mind at any point up to then.
If you'd like to go through it with us over the phone first, call 07 4635 1444 — that's completely fine and it's how it has always worked.
Before and after your appointment
How to prepare is on our pre-appointment page, and what to do afterwards is on our aftercare page. Everything else we hand our patients is in patient resources.
