Many dental patients don’t realize this, but there are actually a number of different treatment philosophies in the dental world. When you’re looking for a dentist, it’s important that you get a true sense of your dentist’s philosophy and priorities.
With that in mind, our Toluca Lake dentist has put together this short overview of what it means to be a comprehensive dentist, because, you guessed it, in our Toluca Lake office we practice comprehensive dentistry! So, let’s get started!
What do we mean by comprehensive?
When we say that we practice comprehensive dentistry, we primarily mean that, when treating dental problems, we take your entire smile and maxillofacial structure into account. We know that your smile is just one component of a larger system—when one part of this system is damaged or out of balance, it can start a chain reaction of oral health issues.
So, for example, if you are dealing with cracked and chipped teeth, our team will propose treatments that fill in and correct this damage. At the same time, we will assess the underlying structure of your smile to determine why this damage is occurring in the first place. The ultimate goal is to refine the structure of your smile so that you stop experiencing premature damage.
What kinds of treatments are used in comprehensive dentistry?
Our team always personalizes treatment plans to meet our patients’ respective needs. Consequently, we use a wide range of treatments to deliver results. You may benefit from TMJ solutions, CEREC crowns, dental veneers, dental bonding, or dental implants. Almost any type of treatment can be used in a comprehensive way, to enhance the patient’s smile safely and for years to come.
Regardless of the current state of your smile, our Toluca Lake dentists can help you achieve oral health. So, give us a call to learn more, schedule a personal consultation, and speak to a member of our team! You can also use the Contact Us page on our site to submit an inquiry.
