How do you measure “dental success?” A check-up with no cavities? A perfect smile? A crown that looks as natural as the surrounding teeth?
It could mean all those things and many more.
For a child, dental success could be defined as a childhood free of cavities, learning daily dental hygiene practices, and gaining an understanding of why it’s important.
For a local Brooklyn child who is hesitant to smile because of misaligned teeth, dental success could be measured by a successful course of orthodontic treatment resulting in a beautiful smile that restores confidence and boosts self-esteem.
For a middle-aged Staten Island man who neglected his teeth in his youth, dental success could be defined as restorative dentistry that stabilizes his dental condition and improves his oral health.
For a woman with tetracycline stains but otherwise healthy teeth, dental success may be as uncomplicated as fast in-office same-day tooth whitening.
Consider a man with several missing teeth who can only eat soft foods. Dental success might require natural-looking dental implants or implant-anchored dentures that allow him to eat steak for the first time in years.
