Dental Treatment Consent

The Dental Treatment Consent form provides documented informed consent for dental procedures ranging from routine restorative work to complex oral surgery. Dental treatment consent has unique considerations including the variety of anesthesia options (local, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, general), the frequency of multi-visit treatment plans, and procedure-specific risks such as nerve damage, sinus communication, and prosthetic complications. This form addresses all of these in a structured, patient-friendly format.

The form captures the specific procedure or treatment plan, the teeth or areas involved using standard dental notation, and the type of anesthesia to be administered. A procedure-specific risk section covers complications relevant to the planned treatment, including infection, prolonged numbness, damage to adjacent teeth, and allergic reactions to dental materials. Patients acknowledge receipt of post-procedure care instructions and understand when to contact the office for complications. For treatment plans involving multiple visits, the form can document consent for the full sequence of planned procedures.

Designed for general dental practices, oral surgery offices, periodontal practices, endodontists, and prosthodontists. The form meets the informed consent requirements of state dental practice acts and the American Dental Association's recommended guidelines. It integrates seamlessly with dental intake workflows and can be paired with the Dental Intake form for a complete new-patient onboarding package.
