Interdisciplinary treatment for esthetic restorative dentistry.
Many of our patients have dental needs that general dentists cannot satisfy and may not even know about. Using an interdisciplinary team will expand the knowledge of all of the team members and can only enhance the restorative result, including function, long-term prognosis, and esthetics. Suggestions have been offered to help develop these teams, which may include general dentists, periodontists, orthodontists, oral surgeons, and endodontists. Team members are chosen based on individual skills needed for a particular case but all must be able to motivate and educate patients while providing excellent dentistry.
