Dr. Gordley listens to each patient's needs and desires and then crafts an ideal treatment plan to suit their needs. Patients will be presented with all of the possible treatment options and then choose a plan that suits them. We have found that different patients desire different levels of care. We offer three levels of care that patients are asked to choose from so that we may tailor your care to your desires:
1) Emergency: These patients only desire treatment for their immediate needs. They will consider us their home office, but they are not interested in any findings beyond the one that has brought them in. These patients are usually in pain and want relief.
2) Basic: These patients desire semi-annual cleanings and want to know if they have any existing problems that need to be addressed such as cavities or gum disease. These patients want preventive care, and would like to avoid any painful visits to the office. These patients do not desire care beyond "what their insurance covers."
3) Complete: These patients want the same things as the basic patient, but would also like to know how their smile can be improved and maintained. They are willing to have a complete set of photos and models made, and would like to restore or maintain their teeth both cosmetically and functionally. These patients understand that their needs and/or desires may go beyond what their insurance covers.
