What To Expect When You Visit Dr. Bradley Dean in Plano, TX

Upon arrival, you can expect to spend 5-10 minutes with one of our patient care coordinators. Our coordinator will review your dental condition and general health history and status.

Next, the dentist will perform a comprehensive evaluation. After your examination, Dr. Dean will explain your existing conditions and what options you might consider to resolve them.

You can feel free to ask questions or voice your concerns. We will then report the outcome of this examination to your dentist.

Our philosophy is to bring you and your dentist into the decision-making process. Communication between you and your dentist will help us find which options best meet your needs and desires for your oral health and appearance. This initial visit may take as much as an hour.

Your first visit to our dental office will help us tailor treatment to meet your needs. We always consider your dental and physical health before we begin treatment. Once we get a good idea of your dental problems, we will create your treatment plan.

Comfortable, Pain-Free Dental Treatment

Your comfort is our top priority. We offer sedation dentistry options for patients, including oral and IV sedation. Sedation is a valuable dental tool to help you feel relaxed during lengthy treatments or surgeries. Our Plano dentist uses sedation during implant treatment and surgical gum treatment. 

We also ensure sedation is safe for you. Before recommending sedation, we consider your current medications, medical history, and dental history. If you have allergies to certain types of sedation, please let us know. 

If you have dental anxiety, we can work with you to ensure your comfort in our office. We will also recommend accommodations for you as needed. You can bring headphones to more routine treatments or noise-canceling headphones if you are sensitive to noise.

Affordable Dental Care

We understand the cost of dental implants or gum disease treatment may seem overwhelming. We’re here to ensure treatment stays affordable. Multiple factors impact the total cost of your dental treatment. Anesthetic, sedation, pretreatments, and your number of lost teeth or severity of gum disease can impact cost.

We offer options to keep dental treatment within your budget. Our dental office provides financing with Lending Club and CareCredit. These companies offer flexible payment plans to ensure that high-quality dental care is accessible and affordable for everyone. Instead of a lump sum, you can use installments to manage your payments. 

The Latest Technology

We incorporate modern dental technology into our office for better treatment outcomes. Technology helps us diagnose issues with greater accuracy and plan treatments more effectively. The technology we use daily in our office includes:

Digital X-rays

We will often take X-rays to get a complete view of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Our digital X-rays help us during the treatment planning process. With X-rays, we can plan where we place implants or find signs of gum disease. An added bonus is that unlike traditional X-rays, modern X-rays emit less radiation. 

Perioscopy

Microscopic video technology helps Dr. Dean diagnose problems below the gum line without surgery. Dr. Dean will gently place the device in the mouth to view deposits in the mouth. This technology helps Dr. Dean see gum problems that may not be apparent in X-rays or visual exams.

Waterlase

Laser gum treatments offer a more comfortable way to address gum disease. A Waterlase laser can effectively target and remove diseased tissue and bacteria from the mouth. At the same time, it promotes faster healing and minimizes discomfort. WaterLase reduces pain in other mouth areas because it only targets affected areas.

Sedation Dentistry

We offer two types of sedation for pain-free dental care. Sedation can benefit you whether you have surgical treatment or dental anxiety.

Sedation dentistry not only ensures your comfort. It also helps reduce fear you may have about dental visits. Sedation also allows our dental team to perform treatments more effectively. We can also ensure your safety and peace of mind throughout your dental experience.

Why Choose Dr. Dean to Place Your Dental Implants?

Some dentists perform the dental implant placement procedure. However, having this part of your treatment performed by a specialist can help put your mind at ease and lead to great success.
