Some procedures can be started today but may require outside processing or laboratory work, and so you must make a return visit, usually in less than two weeks. Still others require special materials or equipment, and so we must ask you to return when we have collected the necessary supplies. If you have a large amount of work to do, this work may be spread out over several days or even weeks. Your particular case will be explained to you by your doctor and the treatment counselors. By the time you are in the chair and being attended by the dentist, our hope is that you are as knowledgeable and comfortable as you can be in this situation, because we care about the well-being of all our patients.
Most patients respond well to dental treatment.
Many patients experience a full recovery from their dental problems. However, some patients have problems that even we cannot handle in our dental offices. In these instances you will be referred outside to a special dental physician who specializes in your particular treatment. You may return to our offices for any other or future dental work you may have. After you are finished with your dental treatment, you will be given any special instructions to help in your recovery.
