Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry
The Complete Dentistry approach begins with correct diagnosis by utilizing the most effective technology available to identify the sources of dental pain, infection and disease. Tooth decay (dental caries), gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), endodontic (nerve) disease and TMJ/muscle dysfunction must be diagnosed correctly in order to treat appropriately. Pre-restorative treatment is performed to reduce discomfort and eradicate disease, with the goal of stabilization of the dental condition. At this stage, interdisciplinary collaboration with dental specialists is sometimes necessary. This is the foundation that we build upon.
We know that high quality dental care comes at considerable cost—both time and money. Quality, modern care can be surprisingly time consuming and expensive. We strive to fit the very best care into the schedules and budgets of our patients.
