For dentists

If you are sending
a patient.

The patient arrives on a referral.
The work that was asked for is done.
They go back to their own dentist.

Referrals come from colleagues for the part that calls for a specialist: implants, full-mouth reconstruction, aesthetic prosthodontics, cases that do not survive a second attempt. The case is treated here — from the design through to the finished restoration.

The scope

What is taken on.

What is taken on: Implants · guided surgery · full-mouth and complex prosthetic reconstruction · aesthetic prosthodontics on teeth and implants · restoring vertical dimension
What is not touched: Anything outside the referral — the patient returns to you for the rest
Who does it: Dr Kolovos, from the planning through to delivery

The rule

The patient stays yours.

Only what was referred is done; for everything else, for maintenance and for recalls, they come back to you. And what was done reaches you in writing — a plan before, a report after.

The route

What happens, in order.

The patient comes for the part that needs a specialist — the planning and the treatment itself. Nothing has to be arranged beforehand.

No prosthetic plan changes without being discussed with you, and no treatment is proposed beyond the one the patient was referred for.

You send: The patient, and one line on what is needed
Done here: Records · planning · guide · placement · the final restoration
Before: A written treatment plan, in your hands
After: A full report: what was done, with which materials, what follow-up it needs — and, on implants, torque and ISQ per implant
Goes back: To you, for everything else and for the recalls

By discipline

Implants and augmentation — the criteria.

The surgical and prosthetic part is handled here, from planning through to the final restoration. Planning is prosthetically driven and surgery is fully guided; the need for augmentation is judged on the CBCT beforehand, not with the flap open.

The study, the guide and the guided placement are one single stage — it is not broken into pieces or split between practices.

Immediate loading: Criterion is primary stability: insertion torque ≥ 35 Ncm or ISQ in the region of 70. In a full arch the implants are splinted, so the threshold is more forgiving; on a single anterior the provisional is fitted out of occlusion
Sinus — crestal: Residual height in the region of 5 mm or more with a few millimetres to gain; osteotomes or atraumatic cutters with hydraulic elevation, implant placed simultaneously
Sinus — lateral window: Lower residual height, a large gain required, or a sinus with septa; simultaneous placement where primary stability is achieved, otherwise staged after 6–9 months
GBR: Resorbable collagen membrane for contained defects; non-resorbable titanium-reinforced membrane or mesh where vertical gain is needed. The four conditions are met together — tension-free closure, blood supply, space maintenance, graft immobility. Healing 4–9 months
GTR: For intrabony defects and furcations where the tooth is worth keeping — discussed before an extraction is planned
Soft tissue: Connective tissue graft where the width of keratinised tissue is insufficient
Timings and terms: Agreed case by case

Imaging

Taken here.

CBCT and face scan are taken in the practice — you do not have to arrange them or send them. Together with the intraoral scan, every record is taken in a single appointment.

If you want to follow it, the design can be shared digitally, so you see it before anything goes in the mouth.

In the practice: CBCT · intraoral scan · face scan · photography
One appointment: The patient is not sent elsewhere for records
Digital planning: 3Shape Smile Design · Smilecloud 3DNA — shared for you to see

How to send a case

A phone call is enough.

Refer a case

A phone call or a message is enough. Any material you have helps, but it is not a precondition. The terms of each referral are agreed case by case, from the start.
