A PLAN FOR YOU

 

Imagine a patient

  • Has dark ugly dental fillings
  • Missing a few teeth
  • Spaces between the front teeth
  • A smile that is embarrassing
  • Bridges that are hard to clean
  • A high risk for new decay
  • Partials or bridges that don't fit well
  • Crowns that don't look natural or feel like teeth
  • A lack of confidence when smiling and chewing

What the patient doesn't want

  • To be made to feel bad about the situation
  • To be embarrassed
  • Replacement  of ugly fillings with ugly fillings
  • Replacement of a bridge or a partial denture with a bridge or partial denture
  • ANYTHING that is removable and loose
  • After treatment - a unattractive smile
  • A quick cheap fix

What the patient does want

A plan and a competent caring team

  1. A thorough careful diagnosis using modern dental methods.
  2. A presentation of a treatment plan that strategically meets your expectation and goals even if it takes an extended period of time.  Click here to see an example of a patient packet that new patients in our practice receive.
  3.                                            Sample Comprehensive Care Packet.docx.                                         
  4. Note - the packet is created to show information that we provide for patients as they enter care.  It is an example of a patient who requires extensive dental care and is not necessarily typical for all patients.
  5. Maximizing your insurance benefits and help with financing your care if necessary
  6. A presentation that covers all of your options for alternative care, benefits of the care and risks of not seeking treatment
  7. Staging of dental care with the end result  always known and to which you can see yourself reaching
  8. A preventive dental strategy that will make the investment last as long as possible
  9. Use of  dental materials (fillings and crowns) that are conservative, beautiful and natural in feel and appearance
  10. A plan that addresses bite issues and use of  permanent non-removable teeth held in by dental implants if necessary so that eventually you will have the smile you want and the comfortable chewing ability you want.
