Are there different levels of dental care?

There sure are. You can receive quality dental care from just about any licensed dentist, but there are different levels of dental health that our profession can help you can achieve depending on your goals, motivation, and finances. While it would be great if everyone could have a picture-perfect white smile the reality is that many people would be happy if they could just break the cycle of going from one toothache to another or could just chew solid foods again. There are a number of different steps on the ladder from a mouthful of lingering dental problems to a state of confidence-building, worry-free, long-lasting dental health. No matter your current place on the ladder, there is some way that regular dental visits can benefit you. When you're ready and able to move up on that ladder, there's a world of possibilities available to you!

We'll explore the levels of dental care in the next few posts. The main levels of care are:

  1. Urgent/ Emergency care only

  2. Basic, Foundational care

  3. Complete Dentistry and Elective/Cosmetic care

While it's a great goal to get and stay in the highest level of care, depending on what's going on in your life moving around from level to level is sometimes unavoidable; that's reality. Your dentist can serve and help you no matter what level you're starting at, so find a dentist you trust to be on your side today.
