Long-Term Maintenance
The most expensive dentistry is often “repeat dentistry.” Maintenance is how you keep your work stable over years.
Maintenance is a system
Cleanings, intervals, home care, and risk-based planning. Stability is built, not guessed.
Why “fine for now” is risky
Many problems are easier to manage early. Waiting often turns simple into complex.
Long-term thinking
The goal isn’t just to fix a tooth — it’s to keep the whole system stable: bite, gums, bone, and habits.

We’ll add checklists, timelines, and practical “what to watch for” so people can stay ahead instead of catching up.
