A beautiful smile improved dental health, and a boost of self-confidence can all be accomplished directly from the result of dental treatment. Aesthetic dental problems, which can result from both genetic and environmental factors, must be properly diagnosed before treatment can begin. For this reason, each patient deserves personalized attention in order to properly tailor a customized treatment plan that will yield the best possible results.

Your initial consultation is an important opportunity for us to become acquainted with you and to better understand what you would like to accomplish with us. Quality care and individualized attention are the hallmarks of our practice. We pride ourselves on taking the time necessary to explain your procedures each step of the way. The more you know about your own care, the better the results. We believe that dental issues involve more than just teeth, which is why we look at the entire facial structure and oral cavity when treating our patients.

At your first visit, the initial consultation, the doctor will perform a dental and facial examination to determine the overall condition of your dental health. If it is determined that the dental treatment is necessary, we will make recommendations based on your specific situation and explain the procedures involved, including an estimate on how long treatment should take. We will also provide you with the payment options that are available.

Depending on the extent of the treatment needed, a separate appointment from your initial consultation may be needed to complete a comprehensive examination, any x-rays needed, diagnostic impressions, and photos. An individual diagnosis and treatment plan is based upon the patient’s history, clinical examination, and diagnostic records. This information enables us to make informed decisions in determining what type of treatment modality will provide the best results, and will also help Dr. Montella formulate a specific treatment plan for you.

Our goal is to ensure that you receive the most accurate and detailed information concerning your treatment options so that you may make an educated decision to proceed with treatment. Our investment in patient education enables us to render the best possible outcome for your dental treatment.

Treatment times vary depending upon the complexity of the case, as well as, patient compliance. Once treatment is completed, it is our duty as well as the patient’s obligation to maintain results. Regular maintenance following rehabilitation includes a comprehensive dental and periodontal examination, cleaning of your teeth, and oral hygiene instruction.
