I have been informed of the nature of my dental condition and the
nature of the proposed implant surgical procedure. My dentist has
explained to me the available alternative methods of treatment and
their advantages and disadvantages.

I understand that there are potential risks and complications
associated with any surgical procedure. These include, but are not
limited to: post-operative pain and swelling, bleeding, bruising,
infection, temporary or permanent numbness of the lip, chin,
tongue or cheek, and sinus complications.
3
I understand that smoking and/or alcohol consumption can
significantly decrease the success rate of the implant procedure
and may lead to implant failure.
4
I consent to the administration of such anesthetics as may be
considered necessary or advisable by the dentist for this
procedure.

I have provided an accurate and complete medical and dental
history, including all medications I am currently taking, both
prescription and non-prescription.
6
I understand that dental implants are not guaranteed and that no
promise has been made to me as to the results of the surgery or
the longevity of the implant.
7
I understand that once the implant is placed, it is my
responsibility to maintain excellent oral hygiene and to attend
regular follow-up appointments as recommended by my dentist.
8
I consent to the taking of photographs or other audiovisual
records of my dental treatment for clinical and educational
purposes.

I authorize Dr. David Gouett and his associates to perform the
implant surgical procedure as described to me. I have had the
opportunity to ask questions and all of my questions have been
answered to my satisfaction.
