Dr. Bechtel believes that the key to good oral health is prevention with an emphasis on education. His goal in every new patient visit is for each patient to come away with a better understanding of what is happening in their mouth and whether they have stability or instability in their TMJ’s (Temporal Mandibular Joints), bites (occlusion), Dentition (Teeth), and Gums (Periodontal Health). Each System is dependent on the other for stability and allowing a patient to know what the problem is and whether or not it needs immediate attention, is deferrable or optional allows each patient to make a well informed decision about their dental care. He understands that each patient is unique and uses all available options to satisfy their specific needs. Dr. Bechtel also works very close with local specialists to achieve maximum results.
