A patient's guide to dental implants / María Peñarrocha Diago, María Rosario Velarde Saiz, David Peñarrocha Oltra ; Translation from Spanish David Harrison.

"Dental implant treatment has now become common practice in dental clinics. Together with increased demand and a wider variety of treatment options, there is a need to provide patients with straightforward information, explaining the different therapeutic options and the results that can be achieved with each, from both the esthetic and functional aspect. The authors of this book have endeavored to simplify and summarize this information, and produce a guide to implant treatment aimed at the patient. The images are clear and easy to understand, and facilitate the description and explanation of the various procedures and possible solutions. There is often some difference between what the patient expects from implant treatment and what this procedure can really achieve. This manual will aid the dental professional to simply, directly, and comprehensibly explain the different therapeutic options, constituting an aid towards resolving any doubts the patients may have on the different treatment options available and on the implant treatment process. This guide is offered as an efficient communication tool to facilitate understanding the needs of the patient and the solutions that implant treatment can offer".
