What Is Treatment Planning?
Dental treatment planning is customized to optimize a patient's oral health. Each treatment plan is personalized to meet the unique needs of the patient. The plan will outline the treatment, how it will be established, and the desired results. Dental treatment planning will serve as a communication tool to ensure transparency between the patient and the provider. When you visit Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC in Saginaw, MI, we will learn all about your medical history and devise a custom treatment plan to address your needs.
How Does Treatment Planning Work?
A dental treatment plan at Benjamin Lievense, DDS PLLC includes several important steps. Each phase of a dental treatment plan serves a unique purpose. Dental treatment plans work to effectively address dental issues and help our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health. Treatment planning begins with an evaluation phase. During this step, we will inspect your teeth and look for signs of concern. Next, during the acute phase, we will address any urgent issues, such as infections or cracked teeth. During the control phase, any oral diseases will be addressed. Once the control phase is complete and your dental health is stable, we will reevaluate your oral health. During the restorative phase, we will complete any needed restorations, such as placing implants to close gaps or realigning crooked teeth. The last phase in a dental treatment plan is maintenance. We will monitor your oral health during this phase with regular checkups and assessments.

This office is kind, professional and knowledgeable. From day one there were no questions because they swiftly handled everything and explained the process of the plan of care at the beginning and along the way.

How many appointments may I need for my dental treatment plan?
The number of appointments depends on the type and complexity of your dental needs. A simple treatment plan—like a cleaning and filling—may take just one or two visits, while full smile restorations or orthodontic treatments may require multiple stages over several months. Dr. Lievense will outline the estimated number of visits during your planning phase so you know exactly what to expect.
Can dental treatment plans change after we get started?
Yes, treatment plans can evolve as your care progresses. Sometimes new findings appear once treatment begins, or your response to a procedure may shift the approach slightly. Dr. Lievense and our team will communicate any updates right away to make sure your plan continues to meet your goals and remains comfortable and cost-effective.
Will I receive an estimate for my dental work during the planning stage?
Absolutely. During your planning visit, you’ll receive a detailed estimate outlining the recommended treatments, associated costs, and any insurance coverage that applies. Transparency helps you make informed decisions and plan your care and budget confidently.
