There are two ways to practice dentistry: “repair” dentistry and “complete” dentistry or comprehensive dental care. Comprehensive dental care restores problems such as sensitive or worn teeth, sore jaw muscle, changes in the bite, receding gums, broken-down fillings and recurring headache as a whole system. Comprehensive cosmetic dentistry involves a meticulous planning and smile design before teeth are restored with porcelain veneers or crowns. Comprehensive dental care involves balancing the bite, teeth, and muscle for stability and longevity. Comprehensive dental care will enhance your smile as well as improve function and re-establish chewing surface lost from years of grinding and clenching.
