The best dental treatment plans consider these aspects before they even start.
Evaluate Bite / Occlusion
Every treatment plan rests on the foundation of occlusion. Evaluate it if it is appropriate FIRST.
How many teeth are missing?
Orthodontic Evaluation
Comprehensive dentistry includes a working knowledge of orthodontic movement, even when you’re not providing the treatment.
Consider Prosthetic Modality
Ante’s Law will guide
Evaluate potential abutment teeth and determine prognosis.
Removable Prosthodontics
Poor periodontal condition of abutment teeth will necessitate tissue-borne prosthetics.
Single Tooth Evaluation
Evaluating each tooth individually, and then its interaction with the rest of the dentition, is critical in creating predictable outcomes.
Esthetic Considerations
The more sophisticated your treatment planning, the earlier you consider these aspects in your treatment.
Phase Treatment
Guidelines provide structure and clarity — they are not restrictions.
