Dentistry is always customized. Every crown, for example, is specifically designed to fit one particular tooth for one individual patient. When it comes to creating an entire treatment plan, there is also a need to look at the patient’s entire dental needs, and then create a treatment plan that is designed to address those particular concerns.
In fact, proper treatment planning is one the “behind-the-scenes” aspects of dentistry that patients rarely see, but which provides them with great benefits. To properly access each case, Dr. Denise reviews all the records, including dental and medical history, dental x-rays, models, and all other information provided by the patient or recorded during the dental examination. Then, Dr. Denise creates a customized treatment plan that is designed to provide the best dental solution given the patient’s needs.
When there are several options available for treating a patient, these options are also reviewed. Once the patient has all the information, he or she can ask Dr. Denise questions and then make an informed treatment decision.
