As a health care provider, the primary goal is to promote good health and good function. After all, teeth in a healthy state contribute to our overall health and well being. The most cost effective way to attain this goal is through prevention.
We have had great success with the boys and girls that have grown up in our practice. Our efforts to promote sound hygiene habits should reduce their dental needs as adults dramatically. Hopefully, this knowledge is passed on to their children as we progress toward a healthier dental society.
Many of us, however, did not have the benefit of fluoride, preventive dental care, and orthodontia. As a result, we have to deal with a dentition that has been compromised by dental cavities, tooth loss, periodontal disease and even substandard dental treatment.
To achieve a stable dentition as an adult always requires a comprehensive plan. It requires thorough diagnosis. Above all, it requires a candid dialogue between the doctor and patient as to the realistic goals that the patient can achieve based on the current status of their dentition, finances, health and any other limitations the patient may have.
The staff at Lightship Dental is committed to providing the patient with the care and knowledge that can change poor dental habits and in turn prevent dental problems. This is truly the most cost effective means of dental care.
Every new patient receives a thorough examination and a precise evaluation of his or her oral health to assess their current dental condition. Based on your needs, desires and oral health condition, Dr. Lake and Dr. Fulham will advise you of your treatment options and together you will decide which treatment is best for you. We will allow enough time to thoroughly discuss your treatment and concerns, as we feel that understanding these is a critical component of helping you achieve your dental goals. We will discuss different treatment options and recommendations for restoring your mouth. The clinical exam consists of the following: intraoral X-rays (essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss: X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions), oral cancer screening (check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums for any signs of oral cancer), periodontal assessment (check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease), and all tooth surfaces will be checked for decay; teeth with fillings, crowns or other restorations will also be inspected.
