Multidisciplinary Team

Many years ago a primary dentist was a jack-of-all-trades when it came to different arenas of dentistry. A dentist would fill your cavities, pull your wisdom teeth, preform Root Canal Treatments if necessary and manage your gums. This approach worked at the time mainly because the level of sophistication in diagnosing and treating dental conditions was relatively low. However in this day and age there have been such amazing advances in all categories of dentistry, that the old one-size-fits-all approach is no longer the best option clinically for the patient. A more comprehensive approach, by today's standards, is referred to as a multidisciplinary approach where a group of providers specializing in different areas, collaborate in treating a patient. The primary dentist or in my case a Prosthodontist would initiate the treatment and make the appropriate referrals when necessary. This allows the patient to receive the best and most advanced care no matter what the necessary treatment is. We have been practicing this approach for many years at Elite Dental Studios, utilizing the very best resources available to provide the absolutely best dental care possible for our patients!
