Consultations

Sometimes, a patient has major dental needs and feels overwhelmed and does not know where to start.  We like to help by performing a comprehensive exam, followed by a consultation where we create a personalized roadmap to optimal dental health.  We do not charge you for consultations.  We set milestones, with goals that are attainable within your budget over a reasonable period of time.  Typical milestones for complex cases include:

  1. If present, address immediate needs like infections and toothaches.

  2. Complete any necessary x-rays and a comprehensive exam.

  3. Complete consultations, resulting in a “roadmap” treatment plan that meets your needs.

  4. Stop active disease, like decay or gum disease, so you do not lose ground to ongoing disease.

  5. Restore form, function and appearance of your dentition.  It is important to adopt a comprehensive plan, where you do not have to waste time or money on care that does not meet your ultimate goal.

We also help patients optimize insurance benefits.  It is not uncommon to complete a phase of care in one insurance year and then complete one or more additional phases in additional insurance years.
