It's a TEAM Effort
Every successful team needs good direction and leadership. Your
role as the Leader of your patient's Dental Team is emphasized from the first
appointment. This is particularly important when considering implant therapy.
Patients are always encouraged to return to you for restorative care when it is
required during periodontal therapy.
At the completion of the active phase of treatment, your
patients will be immediately referred for completion of their restorative work.
We believe alternating recall is the cornerstone of long-lasting, comprehensive
dental treatment. Therefore, we will work together with your front office to
schedule recalls in a timely manner.
You Will ALWAYS Be Kept Informed About Your Patients
Many practitioners are often apprehensive of "losing" their
patients to the periodontist for treatment, only to have them "reappear"
unexpectedly for further restorative care. You will always be informed of your
patient's progress, beginning with a letter outlining the results of the initial
examination and the proposed treatment plan.
We are delighted to consult with you on any aspect of the
treatment plan, particularly the restoration of periodontally compromised teeth
and dental implants. In fact, we would expect nothing less than to work in
concert with you and your staff in order to realize your treatment goals.
Implant Support
One of the most exciting aspects of our profession today is
the field of implant dentistry. As satisfying as implant-supported restorations
can be for our patients, they can also be daunting for those with limited
experience in placing and restoring implants.
We work closely with our referring dentists and our local
implant company representatives to provide comprehensive restorative support.
Whether you prefer single-stage or two-stage (external hex) implants, we can
help you realize your restorative goals.
We are acutely aware that restoring your first few implants can
be a daunting task, especially if you do not have a prosthetic kit. We can make
it easier by:
• Working closely with you during the treatment planning
stage.
• Arranging for you the use of our prosthetic kit (so you
don't have to buy one of your own right away).
• Arranging for an experienced, knowledgeable company
representative to be chairside to help guide you through the necessary steps.
If all of this is more than you would like to do, we can even
send the patient to you with the abutments placed and ready to impress and
temporize - conventional crown and bridge! Give us a call and let us know how we
can help.
We Can Support Your OWN Periodontal Treatment
Today there is an ongoing paradigm shift in dentistry that
incorporates more and more aspects of periodontics into general practice. Our
office supports your efforts by serving as a source of information and
continuing education. We welcome any and all of our colleagues who would like to
schedule time to come by and observe, or feel free to call us with your
questions.
Continuing Education
Our doctors and staff remain current with all of the latest
techniques and concepts in periodontics and implant dentistry. What this means
to you and your patients is nothing less than the most effective,
state-of-the-art treatment.
Our doctors are also regular contributors to the scientific
literature and are available for continuing education presentations or
Lunch-and-Learn seminars. Whether it is a group of 2 or 200, please call us to
schedule a convenient time and location. We can even help you with arrangements,
if you so require.
Tell Your Patients About Us
Our goal is to have every patient leave our office satisfied and happy
because you referred them to us.
We try and achieve this through communication and patient
education. We will inform patients of their condition and all of the treatment
options available in order to empower them with the ability to take an active
role in the control of their disease.
We welcome new patients and would like to see those people that you think
would benefit by seeing us.
