Olivia compliments my practice perfectly, reflecting our strive for harmony and excellence. Always bursting with energy, ready to assist, delivering professional services efficiently and swiftly with the highest standards of skill, irrespective of the demands at hand. After the dental surgeons examine, diagnose, and decide on the correct treatment strategy, Olivia is responsible for compiling the extensive treatment plans, cost estimates, and pre-and post-treatment information. This will allow the patient to give informed consent or feedback on their financial ability and possible constraints so that a new compromised strategy can be implemented if necessary. She also liaises with all the team members, professionals, and dental laboratories to ensure that devices, dentures, bridges, and crowns on implants, as well as clear aligners, are on time and ready for fit and handover by the dental surgeons.
