Treatment plans

Every patient who comes into the clinic has an individualized treatment plan prepared. Based on the general medical history and the dental examination, a detailed clinical examination and necessary additional tests, the doctor prepares a set of actions that are necessary to preserve or restore oral health.

The treatment plan may only include only activities performed by the patient himself after having been previously trained by a doctor or a hygienist to prevent the diseases of the teeth and other oral tissues. It may also consist of comprehensive and multidisciplinary procedures aimed at removing inflammation or pain, restoring the proper shape and continuity of the dental arch, and the aesthetic correction of the teeth in order to create a new smile. It all depends on individual indications, current diseases and disorders, and patient expectations.

What does the treatment plan prepared by the doctor look like?

A typical treatment plan consists of the following elements:

1. The elimination of pain and other conditions that require urgent intervention.
2. A professional tooth cleaning.
3. Conservative and endodontic treatment, actions aimed at preserving one's teeth.
4. Specialized orthodontic, implant and prosthetic treatment in order to obtain a full dental arch with the correct shape, function and aesthetics.

This simplified scheme allows us to understand the idea of ​​preparing an individualized treatment plan. It is a set of actions listed in the order that determines the highest effectiveness in achieving good oral health. In addition, thanks to the fact that the Dorotowska Dental Clinic team consists of doctors specializing in various fields of dentistry, each step is analyzed and performed by the person with the appropriate knowledge and skills in the specific area of dentistry. Therefore, the final product is the result of the work of all the doctors involved.

Is there only one treatment plan possible that is established by the doctor for a give patient?

The doctor who makes the treatment plan usually also presents alternative options. Each solution is written in detail, with advantages and disadvantages, and the time and cost of each treatment. A document prepared in this way is discussed with the patient. Therefore, the final choice belongs to the patient, and he or she can be sure that each proposed treatment is consistent with medical and international standards. When determining the right treatment plan, the timing of certain steps is also discussed in order to adapt them to the financial possibilities of the patient. Then, certain stages can be postponed so that the costs of treatment are spread over time to provide patients with additional comfort also in this area.
