5 Levels of Dental Care

We understand that choosing a new dentist and dental health team can be a challenge, leaving you somewhat uncertain. Let us welcome you and share some insights about what we offer our patients. The philosophy guiding our practice is as follows:

" Our purpose is to help people achieve the highest level of well-being appropriate for them and, in doing so, to enhance the quality of their lives."

We help you be or become as healthy as you choose. Instead of telling you how healthy you ought to be, we will try to help you understand your choices about dental health and then let you make a free and informed decision. Your first choice in this regard is how you would like to begin with us. There are five levels on which people may choose to be seen in our practice. Please select the level of care you feel most appropriate for you at this time.

Level 1 ...Urgent Care

People in crisis or with an emergency problem such as pain, swelling or bleeding that need our immediate help are at this level. We see emergencies immediately, whenever possible.

Level 2 ...Remedial Care

People who choose this level of care, desire treatment only when something breaks or becomes uncomfortable. Generally people at this level expect a limited type of examination, focussing on obvious problems. They usually want to correct immediate problems with as little effort and cost as possible.

Level 3 ...Self-Care

Patient who choose this level of care want a thorough examination and take an active part in the treatment and prevention of present and future disease problems. However, they usually choose repair solutions that are short range in nature.

Level 4 ...Complete Dentistry

Patients at this level are similar to people described in level 3. They choose to have a thorough examination. However, they decide on a Master Plan to formulate a long-term treatment plan for health and repair. These patients are very concerned about treating the causes of dental disease, not simply the effects. These patients want all dental treatment provided to be completed in the most lasting fashion possible.

Level 5 ...Look Your Best

People in this group are in level 4 as far as dental health is concerned, but also want to look their best at all times. They know that their smile is the first thing others notice about them and want to put their best foot forward.


We hope these levels of care make sense to you. It is not uncommon for people o begin at one level and progress to another over time. We are here to help you discover and decide at what level you are most comfortable.
