Custom Comprehensive Treatment Plans
Not all patients are the same. We all have different dental needs and goals. Our office doesn’t push “canned” solutions or one-size-fits-all treatment options. At Dr. Delwiche’s Santa Rose practice, we tailor our services to provide the high-quality care each individual patient deserves.
From day one, our team will work with you to create a customized treatment plan.
What Is a Customized Comprehensive Treatment Plan?
At your first appointment, we'll dedicate time to get to know you and learn more about your dental healthcare goals. Some patients, for example, are just looking for a simple preventive treatment regimen. Others have a myriad of areas they’d like to address, from gum issues to cosmetic concerns.
We believe in the importance of listening. Rather than talk at you or make assumptions about your needs, we are ready with open ears to identify and understand your specific goals. From there, we’ll create an actionable treatment plan to address your issues and fulfill your dental desires.
Of course, we will work together to adjust the plan as needed over time based on your feedback and changing needs.
Prioritizing Your Care
In certain cases, a treatment plan for a condition might entail multiple procedures. For example, individuals facing advanced gum disease or dental reconstruction require a series of treatments rather than just a single silver bullet solution. Treatment information for these more complex conditions can be confusing and overwhelming.
That’s where Dr. Delwiche’s skilled team comes in. We will help you navigate your options by prioritizing available treatments to get you started on the right path. We can provide a review of the pros and cons for each procedure and make recommendations to help you arrive at a decision. We value the importance of each patient supporting the decisions made regarding their dental care and will work hard to achieve mutual understanding.
What Will We Focus On First?
Our top priority is to address any condition that is jeopardizes the health of your teeth and causes you pain. Treating active decay or gum disease and repairing broken teeth are often the first procedures we recommend for patients facing these issues. Immediate treatment stops the destructive processes these conditions cause in their tracks, averting additional damage.
Our other primary concern is aesthetic issues, which can negatively impact your emotional health. Damaged, missing or discolored teeth can deplete your physical health as well as your self-esteem and confidence.
Don’t wait any longer to get started on a customized treatment plan that will further your lifelong dental health and goals. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Delwiche’s Santa Rosa dental office to get started.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Delwiche and her staff believe that you know better than anyone what your dental treatment goals are. Everyone’s mouth is different, and everyone’s priorities are different, too. We work with you to determine what you want to get out of your treatment, then help you craft a customized treatment plan to achieve your goals.
A comprehensive plan that consists of multiple procedures can seem overwhelming, so we will help you prioritize your treatments based on what’s most important to you as well as what the most immediate threats to your overall dental health are. Active decay, gum disease, and cosmetic issues are usually considered the most urgent. Decay and disease left untreated can become even bigger problems in the future. By treating them now, we can save you from further procedures and possible tooth loss.
Cosmetic issues can affect your mental health and self esteem as well as your physical health, which is why they receive a high priority. We want your smile to be at its best, and we will work with you to determine the best and fastest way to achieve the desired results.
Call our Santa Rosa, CA dental office today to make a consultation appointment and we will be happy to create a custom comprehensive treatment plan that will have you smiling!
Dental insurance will usually cover necessary procedures such as fillings, root canals, periodontal treatments, and extractions. Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance, but every plan is different. Our office will be happy to review your insurance coverage and your treatment plan to create an estimate of what your insurance will cover and what your responsibility will likely be. Keep in mind that estimates are not a guarantee of coverage.
If your insurance plan does not cover the procedures you choose, we have financial options available to you. In addition to cash and check payments, we accept Visa and MasterCard as well as Care Credit. If you do not have a Care Credit account, we will be happy to help with the application process. Once approved, Care Credit acts like a credit card for many medical and dental procedures, allowing you to break up your payments into monthly installments.
We also offer an in-house dental savings plan that can help reduce the cost of your smile makeover. Members of our Quality Dental Plan enjoy many benefits, including free basic services such as exams, x-rays, and cleanings; and discounts on other services, including cosmetic services.
