Virtual Treatment Planning: The Future of Dentistry

Patients who are contemplating minor or major tooth replacement solutions (single - multiple implants, bridgework, dentures, fixed bridges, Marius Bridge, implant supported dentures, etc.) with Dr. Marinic now have the ability to participate in Virtual Treatment Planning.

No more obscure or incomprehensible flat, 2 dimensional xrays to look at. Rather, patients accompany Dr. Marinic as the 3 dimensional scans are viewed, clearly revealing all of the important elements needed for treatment.

Almost any conceivable unpleasant surprise or complication that is often associated with complex treatment needs can be better anticipated and, subsequently, planned for.

Obtaining the 3-D scan is practically instantaneous, compared to the outdated methods of taking bite wing xrays, waiting for development and mounting of the slides and obtaining, in some instances, a panoramic xray that yielded an xray result that offered an overall view of the jawbone and teeth areas.

Computerized Imaging and Diagnostics for the Consumer

Dr. Marinic's investment in specialized software enables him to view, analyze and generate different degrees of treatment planning accurately and rapidly. Patients accompany him during the process, walking through the entire diagnostic and treatment planning session.

Nothing is left to the imagination

For patients, the mysteries of being able to read interpret and understand xrays are a thing of the past. Our patients see, first hand, nearly every conceivable view of their jaws, teeth, soft tissue and hard tissue with unsurpassed clarity.

At Last - Comprehending the Occlusal Plane

Although most patients have heard about the bite and occlusion aspects of their treatment needs and outcomes, most of us require the dentist to demonstrate the principles, perhaps, using the articulator to "show" what it is. Of course we all know about the carbon bite paper we use to assure nothing is too high or too low.

Dr. Marinic is able to "show" the actual bite (occlusal plane) 3 dimensionally.... as the head and neck is rotated around, on the computer screen. Disturbances in bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite, lopsided bite, etc.) become immediately apparent.

Immediate Comprehension Yields Intelligent Treatment Plans

Within minutes, literally, patients understand the elements of change that will be necessary for them to achieve whatever cosmetic or functional goal is desired. Trying to decide whether bridgework, partials, dentures, fixed bridge or multiple dental implants would be best or second best.... becomes easier.

Patients obtain, almost immediately, a new understanding of the most common questions asked:
1. How well will this treatment address my problem?
2. How long will it last?

Dr. Marinic provides the "on-going education" while the patient considers different types of treatments. He explains the different qualities of treatment choices, and more importantly, can demonstate, for the first time via virtual imaging, the short term and long term effects of nearly every treatment choice.

No more nagging thoughts about whether one treatment choice is better than another.. or if something else should be used or done. This the guesswork that is commonly referred to through this website. It is practically eliminated.

Redefining Patient Education

Dr. Marinic's methods of virtual treatment planning with patients create an understanding of dental health basics that usually exceeds what patients hope to learn about what they need and don't need. Everything that is pertinent to one's treatment needs are discussed in realistic terms... rather than academic.
