The Basic Types of Dental Practices:
It's Your Time to Choose Which Is Right For You
- 1. Fine
Dentistry and Prevention...
This type of dentistry is dedicated to
achieving Optimum Repair of the oral health
system. Optimum repair
of the natural
teeth has as its goal the restoration of
teeth to ideal beauty, function, comfort and
longevity. A Comprehensive Examination is
completed and goal setting is instituted to
create a Master Plan that has as its goal
maximum protection and preservation of the
oral health complex and your interrelated systemic health.
-
- Optimum Dentistry means healthy longevity. Optimum
dentistry includes the possibility of using periodontal
techniques, nutrition, orthodontic and neuromuscular techniques, oral surgery, laser and
implant dentistry, restorative and cosmetic dentistry to fully
return one's mouth to its healthiest possible state and to
assist you in living a longer, more fruitful and enjoyable life. Crucial to the
continuation of Optimum Health are good daily
oral hygiene habits and a strict regime of
professional examinations and cleanings to
prevent decay and gum disease. Maintenance of this level of
dental health is a partnership between the dentist and the
patient.

-
2. Maintenance
Dentistry...
The quality of care is good and preventive
measures are fairly effective, but the patient
is not dedicated to achieving Optimum Repair.
Usually maintenance dentistry is intermediate
dentistry such as silver and large plastic
fillings, which safely last 3 to 10 years. With
age, typically late thirties to mid forties,
this individual either elects to save their
dental health and move into Fine Dentistry
and Prevention or slide into the Repair and
emergency mode. Unfortunately most people
fail to realize that their mouth ages
considerably quicker than they do. All too
often they have done too little too late, and
spend their golden years a dental cripple.
-

-
3.
Repair Oriented Practice...
No long term thought is given to either
prevention of decay, gum disease or bite
(occlusion-related) problems. Teeth are
filled as they break and when gums bleed or
breath is bad the patients have their teeth
cleaned. This represents 70% of the dental
practices in America today. It is easy to see
why two thirds of American dentists dislike
what they do and would if given the chance
not choose dentistry as their career again.
The interesting thing about the patients who
go to these kind of practices is that they
don't enjoy it, but have more or less given
up or don't know what dentistry can do for
them. Tooth loss in the latter years is very
common.
-
4. Emergency
Practice...
Patients are seen only for emergency
treatment. The majority of patients in this
type of practice lose their teeth, usually by
the age of 35 to 50, depending on their
heredity.
As always,
the choice is yours.
We invite you to join our
practice today!
It is our goal for each of
our patients to have a complete understanding of their unique
situation, to know their options and to reach a level of
dental health that gives them comfort, beauty and peace of
mind.
