Multidisciplinary dental treatment is based on a team approach of specialists and general dentists in the diagnosis and treatment of complex and severe dental conditions that require multiple therapeutical steps. Sometimes, medical specialists are also part of the team.

This usually includes, but is not limited to: periodontal therapy, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic/periodontal therapy, endodontic therapy, prosthodontics therapy etc.

In order to achieve excellent functional and aesthetic results, the multi-disciplinary team is composed by specialists and general dentists that work together and are usually led by the Specialist Periodontist. 

A dental specialist multi-disciplinary treatment for our patients includes the management of four main health aspects: biology, stability, aesthetics and function.

Biology deals with the achievement of healthy gums and bone around teeth and dental implants. Stability is the confidence in comprehensive health of the dental tooth structure and its surrounding architecture. Aesthetics focuses on maintaining or creating a beautiful, pleasant and harmonised smile and face. Finally, Function is about all the essential components that make the mouth working properly: muscles, nerves, joints, occlusion between mandible and maxilla; for daily use in speaking, singing, swallowing, whistling, enjoying cuisine etc. 

A multi-disciplinary approach is a dental treatment that involves different dental and medical specialists to identify reciprocal approaches and personalised treatment plan for each of our patients.
