Kempter Dentistry

Optimum Repair is when the dentist places crowns, bridges, implants, or gold /porcelain fillings (products) that would help to protect the tooth and use materials that last longer than plastic and silver. When this is done it could still cause more disease unless some simple things are done prior to this. Just because people have optimum repair it does not make them healthy. What does?

Optimum Health is where there is a good plan that is created with an endpoint. Dentistry can be done in such a way to limit the amount of exposure to disease. First there is a good foundation that is created and monitored to the health of the gums as well as looking at the whole as a system. Therefore the stresses on the teeth are limited. The bite is well balanced and the chewing system is working efficiently. You know how plaque affects you. You can take action against this and succeed. So in essence there is a good foundation to build off of. Then when it comes to fixing things that are already damaged, you have a plan that encompasses the whole area and when you decide to have this repaired and want more long lasting restorations, you do it as a unit so that the contours and bite match up well. Also you know how to keep it healthy.

This costs less than doing it one at a time. Why? Because single tooth dentistry creates more problems long-term and usually has to be done over. It creates more problems as a result of not thinking of the mouth as a system. So Optimum Health can be long lasting, but Optimum Repair can lead to more problems.
