Minimally Invasive dentistry (MID) is a concept that many dentists embrace. In daily clinical setting, dentists still deal with gross decay, infection, periodontal abcess, dental emergency on a routine basis. However, with increased public awareness and its desire to look and feel better dentally, dentists are practicing MI techniques more now than ever before, especially with the improvement of adhesive dentistry. Tooth color fillings and resin veneers have benefited from many different bonding systems. CAD/CAM technology has offered patients the chance to conserve tooth structure via inlays, onlays in addition to all ceramic crowns made of of lithium disilicate (e-Max) porcelain system.
Implants are available as a better option to replace a single missing tooth instead of removing sound structure of the adjacent teeth as retainers for bridges. MID is not limited to various technical advancements, it involves the dental providers educating the public about preventive dentistry. It's no longer acceptable to see a dentist once a year. Depending on patient's condition, they might need to visit the hygienist four times per year to maintain their periodontal condition, minimizing gum surgery if possible. Topical fluoride every six month is the best insurance policy for healthy, caries-free mouth. Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry practices MID and advocates healthy mouth, healthy body via proper nutrition, making the connection between the mouth and the rest of the body's organ systems.
