What is Included in a Dental Treatment Plan?
January 21, 2026 9:00 amWhen patients hear “treatment plan,” it might sound like something complicated. But it’s really just a clear outline of where your dental health stands, what needs attention, and how we’ll move forward together — one step at a time.
At Amber Hills Dental in Henderson, Dr. Aimee Villamayor and Dr. Kevin Le make sure every plan is easy to understand, built around your goals, and focused on practical care that fits your life.
What Goes Into a Treatment Plan?
A Look at Where You’re Starting
Before any decisions are made, we take time to understand your history — dental, medical, and even lifestyle factors that can influence your care. Health conditions, medications, and past procedures all matter when choosing the right approach.
A Full Evaluation
This includes a detailed check of:
Each tooth, including any existing fillings or crowns
Gum and bone health, looking for signs of recession or inflammation
Digital X-rays, which help spot issues we can’t see with the eye
Jaw movement and bite alignment
Any wear patterns that could point to grinding or other habits
We’re not just treating symptoms — we’re looking at how everything works together, so we can spot problems early and prevent future issues.
Diagnosis and Priorities
Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll go over what we’ve found. If there are areas of concern — like decay, infection, or gum disease — we’ll explain what’s happening, how it might progress, and what should be addressed first.
Some issues need attention right away. Others can be scheduled down the road or just kept on our radar. Your plan lays it all out clearly, so nothing gets missed.
Treatment Options — and Why They’re Recommended
Dental care isn’t one-directional. You’ll get a plan that explains your choices — including the pros, cons, and alternatives. That might include:
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, or bonding
Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) for gum disease
Root canal therapy or extractions for infected teeth
Options to replace missing teeth, such as bridges or implants
Cosmetic care like whitening or Invisalign if you’re interested in appearance as well as function
We’ll talk about how each choice supports your long-term oral health — and which solutions make the most sense for your goals.
Timing, Cost, and What Comes First
Most treatment plans are phased over time. This helps you manage appointments, space out your care, and often control cost. If you have dental insurance, we’ll review your coverage and explain how it applies. We can also walk through payment options if needed.
Our front office team is here to help you understand timelines and costs up front — no surprises later.
What to Expect Next
We’ll give you a copy of your plan, including:
Which appointments to schedule first
What kind of results to expect
Any healing time or aftercare involved
Home care recommendations to keep progress on track
You’re not guessing or waiting for a call — you know exactly what’s next and how it fits into the bigger picture.
