What is the Treatment Process?
Active Listening
The first step of your treatment process is a detailed, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Rink. This is a great time to let the dentist know about any specific fears you might have so that he can accommodate you. Active listening allows Dr. Rink to fully understand your concerns and weak spots, so he can create a successful game plan for accomplishing your dental goals.
Education and Knowledge
Dr. Rink will explain each step of your procedure in depth, as he finds that being in full possession of the process helps clients to feel more secure and involved, rather than in the dark about what’s going to happen.
Pain Relief
On the day of your appointment, Dr. Rink can offer you a local anesthetic that is heated to your body temperature and pH-balanced to your body, creating an injection that you barely feel. The injection site is thoroughly numbed before treatment. Nitrous Oxide anesthesia can be used as needed to help further reduce anxiety and raise pain thresholds.
Amenities
At the Charleston Center for Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry, you will enjoy soft, cuddly blankets, warm towels, and soothing essential oils. Our team will care for you attentively and make you as comfortable as possible during your visit.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Dr. Rink is passionate about offering his clients the most cutting-edge equipment on the market, knowing that this helps to minimize discomfort and speeds up treatment times. We offer same-day CEREC restorations, 3Shape Smile Design, the TRIOS Scanner, and Primescan Scanner, just to name a few.
Follow-Up
Just because your treatment is over, doesn’t mean that Dr. Rink has closed your case. Dr. Rink continues to check in on his patients and schedule follow-up visits after your initial visit, knowing that good oral health depends on prevention. He will continue to monitor your oral hygiene so future crises can be prevented. This personalized attention and care are among the top reasons why Charleston patients trust Dr. Rink and rate him as among the best cosmetic dentists in the world.
