Using modern scientific understanding, and individual risk
profiling, our office will highlight your personal disease
susceptibility.
Based around published science and a diagnostic philosophy from
the Kois Center In Seattle, our team has
implemented a detailed new patient visit. We evaluate 4 key
areas of risk in our dental examination:
- Gums and Bone
- Decay Risk and Tooth Strength
- Bite and Joints
- Smile Characteristics
Far from "just a checkup" this will be one of the most thorough
and thoughtful dental examinations one can experience.
Identifying clues, and making sense of them by asking questions
like... "Why did your mouth end up this way", "How did your front
teeth become thin and worn down", "Why are you suddenly getting
cavities" , "Why are your teeth and fillings breaking" allows us to
develop a profile or signature of your past, current and future
patterns of dental disease.
Using colour coding to classify your personal risk as either RED
(High), YELLOW (Moderate) or GREEN (Low) our treatment focuses on
minimising your risk and helping you get into the GREEN ZONE.
Risk management treatment strategies take you -
specifically and individually - into account when developing a plan
to maintain or improve your dental condition. Our goal is to
direct you, with understanding and new awareness, how to keep in
the GREEN ZONE to stay healthy.
