Suitability is a clinical decision, not an online score
Age or a single blood-test result cannot determine whether implant surgery is appropriate.
A safe assessment considers the mouth, bone, gum health, bite, medicines, medical conditions, smoking, ability to clean and capacity to return for follow-up. An online questionnaire can organise questions, but it cannot replace examination and diagnostic imaging.
Information to send before booking
- Current medical and dental history
- A complete medicines and supplements list
- Recent relevant laboratory results requested by the treating team
- Good-quality radiographs only if the clinic confirms they are diagnostically usable
- Your realistic travel dates and access to follow-up care at home
Situations needing coordinated assessment
- Poorly controlled diabetes, active gum disease, heavy smoking, immune suppression, previous jaw radiotherapy, kidney disease, bleeding risk and medicines that affect bone turnover can change timing or risk.
- Never stop anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, steroids or osteoporosis medicines without the clinician who prescribed them.
A useful remote consultation should not promise treatment
Remote screening may identify missing records and likely options. The final plan can change after examination, three-dimensional imaging or removal of an existing tooth. Keep travel bookings flexible until the treating dentist confirms the plan.
Cross-border care checklist
- Confirm the treating dentist's identity, role and Thai licence through an authoritative source.
- Obtain a written itemised plan, alternatives, material choices, risks and cancellation terms.
- Keep flights flexible until the in-person examination confirms the plan.
- Arrange a named pathway for follow-up and urgent assessment after returning home.
- Take implant labels, radiographs, operative notes, prescriptions and invoices with you.

Population evidence and patient information cannot predict an individual result. The treating team must explain how the evidence applies to your examination.
