At the office of Dr. Steven S. Lee, we have found the secret to providing better dental health and delivering the best smile you can have.
The formula is simple. Accurate diagnosis, synchronized, comprehensive treatment and disciplined follow through.
Your first visit office visit consists of an initial examination, prophy, and a full mouth series (FMS) or at least 4 bitewing x-ray films.
During your scheduled dental cleaning appointment our hygienists and dental assistants — trained in the most modern procedures — begin their work to prevent gum disease which can undermine the best dentistry.
Gum disease is caused by a bacterial sticky film that coats the teeth (plaque). The results are tooth decay, bad breath and tooth loss. When plaque hardens (tartar) it can only be removed by a dental hygienist or dentist. Thus flossing is encouraged to remove daily accumulations of plaque along with professional cleanings at least twice yearly.
Our hygienists’ disciplined process lays the groundwork for and supports your “at home” dental care regimen. During each dental cleaning appointment five dental measures take place.
1. Review medical history
2. Periodontic exam
3. Probing measurements
4. Periodontal maintenance/Scaling and root planing (if necessary)
5. Oral hygiene instruction
By following these crucial preventative measures, we achieve superior dental cleaning… a sound beginning for your daily dental care program and long term oral health.
Finally Dr. Lee designs a customized treatment plan to create or restore your best smile. He then presents and discusses your options with you. Your recommended course of treatment may include the use of natural restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, complete or removable partial dentures, and implants to correct TMD-jaw joint problems, traumatic injuries to the mouth’s structures and teeth, and oral cancer reconstruction.
