Risk-Based, Individualized, and Long-Term Focused
At Stevenson Dental Group, comprehensive care is not a checklist of routine services. It is an ongoing process of
monitoring risk, maintaining stability, and intervening thoughtfully when doing so meaningfully improves long-term
outcomes.
Prevention Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
Preventive care should reflect individual risk—not a standardized schedule. Two patients with the same teeth can
have very different long-term needs based on biology, habits, bite forces, and history.
Our approach emphasizes identifying risk early and adjusting care accordingly, rather than reacting after damage
has occurred.
What Comprehensive Care May Include
Recommendations are tailored to your needs and adjusted over time. Comprehensive and preventive care may include:
- Periodic examinations and diagnostic review
- Evaluation of existing restorations for stability, wear, and margin integrity
- Risk-based preventive planning and home-care guidance
- Periodontal evaluation and maintenance planning
- Monitoring of functional patterns and bite stability when relevant
Managing Risk Over Time
The goal of comprehensive care is not to eliminate all future dental needs—this is rarely realistic. The goal is to
manage risk so concerns are identified early and addressed conservatively and predictably.
This may include:
- Monitoring areas rather than treating immediately when risk is low
- Staging or sequencing care to reduce biological or mechanical risk
- Protective strategies when wear or overload is present
How This Supports Long-Term Dentistry
Well-designed dentistry lasts longer when it is supported by appropriate maintenance and monitoring. Comprehensive
care helps protect existing restorations and reduce the likelihood of future failure.
This is particularly important for patients with complex restorative or implant dentistry.

What to Expect
Comprehensive care is an ongoing relationship rather than episodic visits. Appointments are used to evaluate
changes, review findings, and adjust recommendations as needed.
