The Ultimate in Dental Health: STABILITY

Dentistry has recently been subject to the same marketing pressures as all industries.

---

Marketing, driven by Google advertising, has broken down dental care into “keywords”: crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, dentures, and implants.

You may not have noticed this, but the keywords most searched in relation to dental care are vertically integrated. What!?

Vertically integrated simply means that one expense leads to another – it’s a methodology for extracting more from the consumer… that’s you!

Frequently, a tooth with a filling that breaks repeatedly requires multiple interventions to replace the broken filling, which compromises the nerve in the tooth, eventually resulting in the recommendation of a crown.

In the subsequent year or two after the crown is placed, the hapless patient returns with a toothache. The cycle continues—root canal therapy (to save the tooth) or extraction. If extracted, the patient is now faced with ‘filling the gap’ with a bridge, an implant crown, or a denture…and so the cycle continues. This is a common cycle that you may have personally experienced with a tooth of your own. The point I’m making is that Google, and consequently, almost everyone in the dental sphere, focuses on the next “fix” of your problem.

Try searching “dental stability” online. Nothing. Yet, this is the ultimate dream of every patient caught in one of these “next fix” cycles. At BelleDental, our primary focus is dental stability.

The focus of our planning is dental stability. Our minimally invasive dental care is focused on extending the life of your teeth with the minimum number of interventions and minimal loss of tooth structure.

Combine careful planning and proven treatment methods over the last 30 years with education on diet and home care, and virtually every patient experiences dental stability in about 30 months: two and a half years (via short spells of treatment every six months). If you’re unsure, ask one of our patients… they’ll tell you about the joys of dental stability.
