The Difference Between Speed and Quality Dentistry

 

Difference between Speed and Quality Dentistry performed by Dr. William Schlotz, DDS at Plaza Health Dentistry

 

Red Outline -- Areas of poor crown placement.  Overhangs tooth which creates a site for millions of bacteria which can cause gum disease and tooth decay.

THE TOP THREE XRAYS SHOW HOW LESS-THAN-VERY-CAREFUL DENTAL CARE CAN SEEM CHEAP AT FIRST.  UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TYPE OF “SPEED DENTISTRY” (associated w/ discount dental plans many times – please see my article in the SunCrest Call) CAN LEAD TO MUCH HIGHER COSTS DOWN THE ROAD (not to mention the aggravation of having to sit through more dental work).

THE BOTTOM XRAY SHOWS AN ONLAY –STYLE CROWN AT PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry… PLEASE NOTE THE PRECISE, CAREFUL “MARGINS” (EDGES) OF THE ONLAY – LEADING TO A HEALTHY AND LONG LASTING RESTORATION.
