In our patients’ own words.

Shape, length and shade are planned around your face, lips and remaining natural teeth. A digital preview or trial smile can let you see the proposed design before anything is permanent, and you can ask for changes. Many patients prefer a softer, more natural shade, and your clinician can advise what suits you.

Sometimes a more conservative option is appropriate. Whitening, composite bonding or minor reshaping may address certain concerns, while veneers or crowns suit others. Your clinician will explain the realistic options for your teeth, including their trade-offs, so you can choose with a clear understanding of each.

It varies with your teeth and the type of restoration. Veneers often need a thin layer of enamel reshaped, which is generally considered irreversible because enamel does not regrow. Your clinician will explain how much preparation your plan involves and why, before you agree to anything.

Yes. Let us know about any anxiety when you first get in touch. Your clinician can talk you through what will happen before each step, agree a signal if you need a pause, and discuss options for local anaesthetic and comfort. You are welcome to ask questions at any point.

A natural look depends on careful hairline design, appropriate graft angles and a soft, slightly irregular front edge. Your clinician considers your facial proportions, age and likely future hair loss when drawing the proposed line, and will discuss it with you before the procedure. Results still vary between individuals.

Your clinician assesses the density, calibre and condition of your donor area, first from photographs and then in person. This determines how many grafts can be taken safely, now and in future. Sometimes expectations need adjusting, and your clinician will explain what is realistic for your scalp.

Both involve extracting individual follicular units. FUE places grafts into pre-made channels; DHI inserts them directly with an implanter pen. The choice may depend on the area treated, density planned and whether you would prefer to avoid shaving. Your clinician can explain which suits your hair and goals.

It may be, depending on your age and how quickly your hair loss is progressing. A transplant does not stop future thinning of native hair, so planning must allow for change. Your clinician may suggest waiting, or discussing supportive options with a doctor, before deciding on surgery.

That depends on your treatment plan, which is confirmed after your clinician reviews your information. We suggest waiting until appointment dates have been proposed, booking flexible travel where possible, and leaving a spare day at the end in case your clinician would like to see you again before you fly.

You will leave with written aftercare instructions and clear contact details. Many concerns can be reviewed remotely using photographs. Your clinician can advise whether something is expected, whether it can be managed by a local dentist or doctor, or whether further care is needed. Seek urgent help locally if you feel unwell.

Sometimes. It depends on the procedures involved, how long each takes and how you would like to recover. Mention both interests early so the relevant clinicians can review your information and advise whether a combined schedule is sensible, or whether separate visits would be more comfortable.

Your quote reflects the treatment proposed after your clinician reviews your photographs and any scans. An in-person examination can reveal details photos cannot show, so the plan may be refined when you arrive. Any change is explained before treatment begins, and you can take time to decide.
