Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Multidisciplinary dental treatment is based on a team approach where specialists and general dentists work together in the diagnosis and treatment of complex and severe dental conditions. In such cases, multiple therapeutic steps may be required and sometimes other medical specialists are part of the team.
Treatment usually includes, but is not limited to: periodontal therapy, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic/periodontal therapy, endodontic therapy and prosthodontics therapy. This team will manage four main health aspects including; biology, stability, aesthetics and function.
Biology deals with the achievement of healthy gums and bone around teeth and dental implants.
Stability is the confidence in comprehensive health of the dental tooth structure and its surrounding architecture.
Aesthetics focuses on maintaining or creating a beautiful, pleasant and harmonised smile and face.
Function is about all the essential components that make the mouth working properly: muscles, nerves, joints, occlusion between mandible and maxilla; for daily use in speaking, singing, swallowing, whistling, enjoying cuisine etc.
