Dr. Jennie Lee was very patient and so good with my 4-yr-old son. He was at ease and sat through the whole filling treatment without any difficulty. They were very accommodating to his needs and didn't give him any unnecessary treatment just to take your money. Highly recommend!! Staff is friendly as well.
Has it been a long time since you visited the dentist? Or have you moved and need to get started with a new dentist? At Aesthetic Dental Center, we have found that when patients know what to expect during their first visit, many of their worries can be alleviated. Let's take a look at how things should go when you visit our dental practice for your first visit.
We perform this exam at your first dental visit and again during subsequent checkups. Your dental team can help determine the frequency of these exams, based upon your current dental health and treatment goals.
The comprehensive dental exam is a very important part of your initial visit with us. It gives us an accurate picture of what is going on with your current oral health. After this examination, we will be able to note any changes in your oral health based upon what we discovered during your initial visit.
We have the latest in x-ray technology available to help with the detection of tooth decay, bone loss, cavities, tumors, cysts, and other types of dental conditions. X-rays also help us map the positions of your teeth and their roots.
Taking and displaying x-rays also affords better interaction between you and your dentist. Instead of being told about things going on with your oral health, we can simply show you precisely what we are talking about from multiple angles.
Although any type of cancer can be frightening, oral cancer is actually extremely treatable when detected early. So your dental team will be looking in your mouth for any signs and symptoms of this serious disease so that it can be diagnosed and treated.
Medically called periodontal disease, gum disease is a progressive oral condition involving an infection of the gums surrounding your teeth. It can develop into something serious over time, threatening problems like tooth loss when your gums no longer fit snugly around your teeth.
The screening is performed using a periodontal probe, which is used to measure the space found between your teeth and surrounding gum tissue. If you have pockets that are beyond a certain size, this normally indicates an infection requiring treatment.
At Aesthetic Dental Center of Bergen County in Ridgefield Park, NJ, our goal is to provide outstanding dental care in a comfortable and safe environment. After consulting with you and examining your mouth, teeth, and gums, we can develop an individual treatment plan that will outline a step-by-step process whereby your dental needs and goals can be met.
In most cases, treatments are quite basic and simple. The goal of dental care is to provide a superior level of care utilizing a single type of treatment for achieving a desired outcome for the patient.
In reality, it is not always this simple. Certain cases are more complicated, requiring a variety of treatments to achieve a solitary outcome to enhance your dental health and develop a beautiful smile. In these types of cases, your dental team will consult with you in developing a treatment plan that outlines all needed steps to achieve your treatment needs and goals.
So that we can develop an outstanding treatment plan to deal with your individual situation, we need to begin by providing a diagnosis that is both proper and comprehensive. To this end, we will be taking advantage of state-of-the-art dental technology so that we can accurately diagnose your dental problems and create a comprehensive treatment plan so that all of the dental problems that you are having are solved effectively and efficiently.
Your role as a patient is not to be lectured and dictated to. Instead, you will be an active participant in developing your treatment plan. To find a plan that addresses your needs, we will begin by meeting with you and considering your input so that we thoroughly comprehend your current oral health condition. One important part of this phase is when you undergo a comprehensive dental exam. We will thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, and gums to detect any signs of trouble, many times before you even know that you have a problem.
In most cases, a dental examination will be followed up with a thorough dental cleaning. This is when your dental hygienist will scrape away any plaque or tartar found on your teeth or around the gum line to help prevent tooth decay or periodontal disease.
A multi-pronged treatment approach involves addressing each and every step as it presents itself before moving to the next step of your treatment plan. This means that we will be viewing your situation in its entirety so that we can tackle each step in its proper order.
In developing your plan, we realize that one factor in creating your treatment plan is the expense involved. Everyone has a different budget or insurance plan. When developing your individual plan, we must consider all of the costs involved with each needed treatment so that there is full transparency regarding expenses.
