Kenneth N Milin D.D.S, Wilmette

WHO/WHY:

If you are currently looking for a new dental home, or just want to learn more about the current status of your teeth and mouth. If you are having a dental problem, experiencing sensitivity, difficulty chewing, or are not happy with the appearance of your teeth or smile. If you are not satisfied with the care being provided by your current dentist. If you live in the neighborhood and would like to have your dentist closer to home.

PROCESS:

We will review any recent x-rays you provide (anything within the last 5 years is helpful) and, with your consultation and approval, obtain and evaluate new digital x-rays necessary to complete a comprehensive evaluation.

We will then present our findings to you in a collaborative way so you will have a much better understanding of your oral condition. We will give you excellent information about the care of your oral health and how your oral health impacts your overall well-being. We will provide a diagnosis that will form the foundation of your treatment options moving forward.

We will share with you several options, including the option of no treatment and let you know the likely outcome of each alternative. We will discuss any cosmetic concerns you have and provide alternatives to improve your smile, understanding that EVERY cosmetic alternative is ELECTIVE. After all your questions are answered, your job is to let us know how we can help you.

PHILOSOPHY:

The most important thing we can do for you is to provide excellent information in order for you to make informed decisions regarding your oral health. We take a lifetime approach to dental care, any restoration we do is not as good as a natural tooth, we therefore believe in retaining your existing restorations and teeth for as long as possible.

Our patients take an active role in directing their care. If this sounds like the type of dental practice you are looking for, we would thrilled to meet you.
