What is “Comprehensive” dentistry?
Nature has an ingenious plan for the way your chewing system functions. The teeth are only one part of a complex system. The foundation of comprehensive dentistry is that your dentist identifies and corrects problems, not only with individual teeth, but also with how the teeth, gum tissue, jaws, and muscles function together as a unit. To achieve stability, health, comfort, and long-lasting beauty, all of these components must operate in harmony. If any one of these is out of balance the entire system will be affected. Comprehensive dentistry treats the cause of problems rather than just the symptoms.
