How We Organize Care
At Stevenson Dental Group, patient care is not offered as a menu of procedures. Dentistry is rarely a single-tooth problem, and treatment decisions are most effective when guided by diagnosis, risk, and long-term outcomes.
This page provides an overview of our approach to care. Specific recommendations are made only after a comprehensive evaluation.
Care Guided by Diagnosis, Not Convenience
Every patient begins with an assessment focused on understanding what is happening, why it is happening, and which factors influence long-term stability. Treatment is recommended only when it serves a clear clinical purpose.
In many cases, the most appropriate decision may be to monitor, delay, or sequence care rather than intervene immediately.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative care focuses on repairing or replacing damaged tooth structure in a way that preserves biology and supports long-term function.
- Crowns and onlays designed for durability
- Conservative preparation and material selection
- Replacement of failing or compromised restorations
- Complex restorative planning when multiple teeth are involved
Restorative decisions are guided by prognosis, not convenience or appearance alone.
Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry is approached as a restorative problem before it is a surgical one. Long-term success depends on careful planning, risk assessment, and maintenance.
- Evaluation of missing or non-restorable teeth
- Restorative-driven implant planning
- Precision placement techniques when appropriate
- Management of complications or failed implants
In some cases, we may recommend alternatives or delaying implant treatment if risks outweigh benefits.
Function, Bite & Airway (When Appropriate)
Some dental problems are influenced by bite forces, functional patterns, or airway-related factors. These contributors are evaluated selectively, based on findings and risk indicators.
- Repeated fracture or failure of restorations
- Severe wear or bite instability
- Jaw discomfort, fatigue, or clenching/grinding
- Complex restorative cases requiring long-term stability
When relevant, these factors are integrated into planning to support predictable outcomes.
Comprehensive & Preventive Care
Long-term oral health depends on maintenance, risk assessment, and timely intervention. Preventive care at Stevenson Dental Group is individualized rather than standardized.
- Periodic examinations and diagnostic review
- Risk-based preventive planning
- Periodontal evaluation and maintenance
- Monitoring of existing restorations over time
The goal is to reduce the need for future intervention whenever possible.
Care Within a Teaching Environment
