“Dentegrity”

That’s how Dr. Rick Glassman describes the thoughtful approach to treatment planning he’s honed during his three decades of practice. 

This doctrine of dental integrity emphasizes minimally invasive techniques, careful consideration of esthetics, mindfulness of cost and, above all, thorough communication with each patient.

How does “Dentegrity” apply to you? It might mean determining the fewest number of teeth required for the greatest possible enhancement (often without removing precious tooth structure). Or taking steps to alleviate grinding. And following up on every procedure and fitting to ensure patient satisfaction. It also means striving to find the most economical option for each treatment, including treatment plans that are clearly explained up front. Because he’s as concerned about your peace of mind as he is about your oral comfort.

Restorative dentistry is the study, diagnosis and integrated management of diseases of the teeth, their supporting structures and the rehabilitation of the dentition to functional and aesthetic requirements of the individual, encompassing the dental specialties of endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics. It’s foundation is based upon how these interact in cases requiring multifaceted care. In the UK restorative dentistry is legally recognized as a specialty under EU directive, with voices from the British Society for Restorative Dentistry and the Association of Consultants & Specialists in Restorative Dentistry.

Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily the function) of a person’s teeth, gums and/or bite. Many dentists refer to themselves as “cosmetic dentists” regardless of their specific education, specialty, training, and experience in this field. This has been considered unethical with a predominant objective of marketing to patients.[1] The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a formal specialty area of dentistry.[1][2][3] However, dentists continue to promote themselves as cosmetic dentists not only offline but also on internet through various cosmetic dentistry websites.
