personal care plan
A personal care plan takes into account your oral health priorities, general health, past illnesses and financial parameters. Developing a personal care plan with Coral Reef Dental Group, while not required, is an opportunity to plan for preventative care, necessary care, and cosmetic dental care
Well over 90% of Coral Reef Dental Group’s existing patients have chosen to develop individual, personal care plans.
Coral Reef Dental Group’s commitment to personalized, individual, oral health care planning is an integral part of his practice and an outgrowth of his practice of Comprehensive Dentistry.
With extensive training in oral surgery, periodontal care, endodontic care, as well as general dentistry, Coral Reef Dental Group is among the minority of dental practices willing to practice this form of dentistry. Dr. Caputo also has extensive expertise and experience in cosmetic dentistry as well as reconstructive dentistry.
Cleaning
The value of a teeth cleaning goes far beyond any cosmetic considerations. While your cleaning is being done Coral Reef Dental Group and our profession staff are looking for early signs of bone loss, decay or gum (periodontal) disease.
In many ways, a teeth cleaning appointment can be the most valuable time a patient spends with their dentist.
Whitening
Although a cosmetic procedure, it is important to know the best results from teeth whitening, whether done professionally or by a home treatment, are achieved within one to two weeks of a professional teeth cleaning.
Flouride Treatments
While it is widely known fluoride treatments are particularly helpful for children with developing teeth, fluoride treatments can also be of great value to older patients. Teeth are worn down over time from “normal wear and tear” may be hypersensitive to hot and cold, and/or more susceptible to periodontal (gum) disease.
In these instances, fluoride treatments can be both a preventative and therapeutic measure. The most common fluoride treatment is a take home rinse which is used daily.
Pit & Fissure Sealants
Unfamiliar to many, pit and fissure sealants, are a treatment to prevent tooth decay in children. Pit and fissure sealants are a protective coating placed over the chewing area of the back teeth, and generally not applicable or useful for adults.
It is important to know that while pit and fissure sealants are often covered by insurance, it is also true an age limit for coverage often applies, usually 14 years of age.
