At Prostho Endo Dental Group, when dental care encompasses multiple dental issues, patients shouldn’t simply get sent off to a variety of specialists for their own opinions or solutions. We integrate prosthodontics, endodontics, and general dentistry into one team-based setting that provides North Bethesda, MD, patients with a thoughtful diagnosis, an informed treatment plan, and well-coordinated care. Our doctors speak the same language, think like specialists, and work toward a common objective – helping each patient achieve optimal oral health and comfort, while maximizing their oral function and aesthetic confidence.
One Practice, Multiple Specialty Services
Dental issues are frequently interrelated. A compromised tooth may alter the patient’s bite. A failing restoration may require endodontic treatment. Missing teeth affect the patient’s ability to chew, their facial profile, and the long-term stability of a treatment plan. Our doctors think about the way the entire mouth works together rather than looking at the patient’s problems in isolation.
By bringing together these diverse specialties in one office, we are better able to provide patients with coordinated, thoughtful care and a unified treatment plan. Patients do not need to be the messenger between multiple treatment providers and practices who may or may not be thinking holistically about their dental needs. We work together from start to finish, helping each patient to be an active participant in their journey toward optimal oral health.
A Team Of Dentists Collaborating On Your Dental Care
A true multidisciplinary approach isn’t just about offering multiple specialty services in one office. Our approach relies on how well all of these specialties are integrated, working together for one patient’s benefit. At Prostho Endo Dental Group, the various specialties within the practice are involved in patient diagnosis and treatment planning before any treatment is begun. We consult with one another and determine what we feel are the optimal options for each patient’s oral health needs.
This is particularly beneficial for patients who have complex restorative dentistry needs, dental implants, endodontics, dental cosmetics, or other complex treatment needs. The input and expertise of multiple specialists working together allows us to think more comprehensively about dental treatment options for patients with multiple concerns.
Expert Diagnosis & Advanced Treatment Planning
Good dentistry is based on good diagnosis. Our treatment consultation process includes extensive data collection, photography and dental imaging, intraoral scanning, x-rays, and a discussion about treatment options, as well as patient hopes and concerns. Complex cases may require more than one treatment planning consultation since we do not believe that patients should feel pressured to make complex treatment decisions.
Technology is used not as an alternative to good dentistry but as a tool that enhances the way patients are able to understand the diagnosis we make and the treatment options available to them. By taking a more precise look at the various components of optimal oral function, aesthetics, and the dental treatment plan, our patients are better able to make fully informed decisions about what works best for their specific dental needs and goals.
Comprehensive, Coordinated Care For Your Specific Dental Needs
We are particularly known for our ability to treat a variety of dental cases that require a high degree of technical knowledge, detailed planning, and advanced clinical skills. These may include worn or damaged teeth, the restoration of missing teeth, complex endodontics, dental cosmetics, or the reversal of past dental treatment mistakes.
Due to our experience and advanced training, we are able to accommodate a large number of these difficult-to-find treatment situations and patients who have previously been told there was nothing more their general dentist could do. Other dentists who need our expertise also trust us to care for them or their patients with a high level of care and attention. Our patients can expect nothing less.
We Put The Patient In Focus
It doesn’t matter how well all of these different specialties are able to work together. It matters that patients receive the level of care that you and your family members would expect from their own dental team. Our treatment recommendations are based on the treatments we would recommend to our own family members. It is our hope that this philosophy informs all interactions with our patients in terms of how we explain care options, address cost and insurance considerations, manage expectations, and support our patients throughout the treatment process.
We work hard at making this a welcoming and stress-free experience for our patients by assigning each patient a personal member of our care team who will help coordinate each patient’s dental care and assist with the explanation of next steps and dental treatments. For our patients who are concerned about dental anxiety and discomfort, we also provide sedation dentistry options and the comfort and convenience you deserve. We believe each patient’s dental care needs to be based on the three C’s of quality patient care: compassion, communication, and commitment.
In-Office Dental Laboratory
One way we are able to provide our patients with a truly unique and comprehensive care experience is with our on-site dental laboratory. Our doctors communicate directly with our in-office technicians, allowing for increased quality control and a more efficient communication process when creating and perfecting dental restorations.
We don’t see high-quality craftsmanship and dentistry as separate things; they are intimately connected. By focusing on high-quality workmanship, we hope to provide our patients with the high level of service and dental restoration results they expect and deserve. Small details make a big difference. Our doctors continue to train other dentists in advanced treatment techniques in order to better serve our patients today and in the future.
