Learn About The Issues Our Mill Valley Dentists Prioritize When Treating Severe Dental Damage

Written by Dr. McConnell on Jun 14, 2022

Our Mill Valley dentists truly believe that no smile is beyond help; thanks to modern restorative and cosmetic dental technologies, our dental team can help even severely damaged smiles shine again.

Successful restoration is all about combining a thorough oral health assessment with a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan. Keep reading to learn more about some of the key issues our dental team considers when crafting treatment plans.

During your dental assessment, our team will make note of any existing oral health problems you’re experiencing. We’ll also collect a comprehensive dental history from you, and talk to you about your future dental goals.

Once we understand the issues that need to be improved, we’ll be able to walk you through your treatment options, taking into account:

  • Timeline

Are you trying to improve the appearance of your smile before a special event, like a wedding or a reunion? Let our dental team know so that we can propose treatment solutions that deliver results quickly.

  • Budget

Our practice offers dental treatments to fit a range of budgets.

  • Post-Treatment Care

Different dental solutions require different levels and types of maintenance post-treatment. For example, professional dental whitening treatments need to be repeated once or twice a year in order to keep new stains at bay; porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are naturally stain-resistant. We’ll talk about what types of treatments fit into your lifestyle.

  • Structural Dental Issues

Sometimes, poorly balanced or aligned smiles can experience chronic damage due to structural issues; the top and bottom teeth may not come together evenly, for example, increasing instances of cracked or chipped enamel. Our dental team may recommend treatments to bring your smile into balance, so that your smile is able to stay healthier, longer.

In our Mill Valley dental office, there are no one-size-fit-all dental solutions. We’re here to help you get the specific type of treatment you need to enjoy an attractive and healthy smile—give us a call to get started!
