What is Minimally Invasive Dentistry?
Minimally invasive dentistry is based on early detection and intervention, focusing on identifying issues early and using gentle treatments that preserve as much of the tooth as possible. This means:
- Early detection: Identifying issues before they become big problems.
- Conservative care: Using techniques like micro-dentistry to save more of your teeth.
- Prevention: Helping you keep your teeth healthy with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
These principles guide our practice at Valley Dental Works, ensuring that we deliver care that not only addresses current dental issues but also supports long-term oral health.

I was blown away not only by the modern decor of the office as I walked in, but the staff knew who I was and had everything ready for my check in. The best part was that I was greeted by Dr. Miller when I was waiting in the lobby and he apologized for the short wait (less than 2 min) and I was still seen 10 min before my scheduled appt time. The staff was incredible and treated me professionally and were still personable. All of my concerns were addressed and I was able to leave excited to come back. Thank you Dr. Miller and your incredible team for a great experience.
Options For Minimally Invasive Dentistry
In our efforts to find materials and techniques to repair damaged teeth in a way that most closely mimics the original design, we have adopted a procedure we describe as the ‘un-crown’ or an ‘onlay.’” This process allows us to maintain more of the natural tooth than a traditional crown preparation would and at the same time eliminate most of the post-operative sensitivity often associated with crowns. And we are thrilled to do this procedure in ONE visit! With “Same Day Dentistry” by Cerec you leave with the final that day. We mill it right in the office–ask and we’ll show you how it works! No temporaries to baby along or fall out. No additional time away from work.

Recovery and Aftercare
Post-treatment care is crucial to maintaining the success and longevity of minimally invasive dental procedures. After your visit, our dentists will provide you with specific instructions tailored to your treatment, which may include:
- Oral Hygiene Practices: Continued emphasis on brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups to maintain oral health.
- Dietary Recommendations: Guidance on foods and beverages to avoid during the healing period to protect treated areas.
- Follow-Up Visits: Scheduled appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns promptly.
At Valley Dental Works, our minimally invasive approach to dentistry focuses on treating existing issues and preventing future problems, helping our patients enjoy healthy, beautiful smiles for years to come.
