The Doctors of
South Shore Dental Group

Comprehensive and coordinated care is best provided in an environment where generalists and specialists have the ability to consult and interact with each other. Our group setting also affords us the capability of using the newest clinical technologies and sterilization techniques, and enables us to provide rapid responses to any emergencies you may have.

Goals for your care

Only when a complete and comprehensive examination has been provided can comprehensive care can be planned. We call this .Planning for Optimum Care.

Our goals are to:

• provide you with a complete understanding of your dental health issues
• determine the best treatment available to solve your problems
• entertain a full discussion of options and alternatives
• develop an appropriate and personalized plan of treatment
• ensure you can reach and maintain a high degree of health and esthetics.
  

Your initial visit

To accomplish our goals, your initial visit to our office will be for
a comprehensive diagnostic work-up. This clinical examination may include some or all of the following:

• appropriate x-rays
• intra-oral clinical and computerized video examination
• determination of need and reasons for evaluation by specialists
• generalized soft tissue examination
• oral cancer examination
• diagnostic impressions
• decay detection
• evaluation of fractured teeth or potential fractures
• evaluation of the impact of missing teeth
• evaluation of existing prostheses (tooth replacements)
• periodontal examination for gum disease
• Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) evaluation

The Treatment Conference

After a review of all our diagnostic data, your doctor will develop a plan of treatment that, when completed, will provide you with the highest sustainable state of dental health that contemporary science can render.

Treatment alternatives, specialty care, insurance and financial issues will be addressed at this time as well.
