Finishing Strong

Few things are as disappointing or frustrating to both the doctor and the patient as when expensive work is done to the teeth, but it doesn’t last. From broken veneers to reoccurring headaches since completion, patients can come back with different problems.

There are certain methods that can help give you, as the dentist, specific information to more accurately assess a problem. General symptoms don’t always give you the full picture, but small tests can help you more clearly diagnosis right from the beginning and ensure the correct treatment plan. Dr. Jim Downs discusses different methods for preventing such occurrences to ensure that every dental procedure finishes strong.
