What kind of patient are you?
We think about patients in 3 categories
-
Routine care patients
- Routine care patients have been seen within the past year, have no or little current dental needs, and just need to continue with a routine at a new dental home.
-
Disease control patient
- Disease control patients often have not been to the dentist for a while and have treatment needs. These patients typically require several appointments to restore their oral health.
-
Reconstruction patients
- Reconstruction patients have extensive dental needs with missing teeth or tooth structure. Treatment typically involves numerous appointments and may require a multidisciplinary approach coordinated with specialists.
