Evidence Based Dentistry in Manhattan, NYC
Science-Driven Dental Care You Can Trust
At Madison Dental Loft in Midtown and Concierge Dental Design in the Financial District, our approach to patient care is guided by the principles of evidence based dentistry. This means every treatment plan is developed using the most current clinical research, years of professional expertise, and your personal health preferences—ensuring care that is both scientifically sound and tailored to your needs.
Whether you’re visiting for preventive care, cosmetic enhancements, or complex restorative procedures, we rely on data-supported methods to deliver reliable, predictable outcomes.
What Is Evidence Based Dentistry?
Evidence based dentistry (EBD) is a systematic approach to treatment that integrates:
- Best available clinical research
- The dentist’s clinical expertise
- The individual patient’s values and preferences
This approach avoids guesswork and ensures that your care is grounded in the latest developments from trusted journals, academic research, and long-term clinical studies. It also promotes transparency—allowing you to make well-informed decisions about your oral health.
For example, when evaluating whether to use dental sealants, fluoride treatments, or pursue restorative procedures, we reference the latest data on effectiveness, safety, and longevity. Then we apply that information in the context of your unique oral condition, age, lifestyle, and goals.
Why It Matters
Choosing a provider that practices EBD helps ensure that you’re receiving care that is:
- Backed by real-world outcomes and peer-reviewed science
- Not influenced by trends, commercial bias, or outdated methods
- Personalized to your medical history, risk factors, and goals
- Focused on prevention, longevity, and minimally invasive solutions
We believe this is especially important for patients considering elective procedures such as veneers, dental implants, or sleep apnea treatment, where treatment choices can have long-term impacts.
How We Apply Evidence Based Dentistry
Our team is constantly reviewing emerging research and clinical data to enhance how we diagnose, treat, and manage conditions. This includes:
- Using diagnostic dental technology such as digital X-rays and 3D scanning to support more accurate assessments
- Evaluating the efficacy of different materials and techniques for dental fillings, crowns, and bonding
- Staying current with guidance from organizations such as the ADA, CDC, and WHO
- Prioritizing treatments that are conservative and cost-effective without compromising on quality
We also use EBD to help patients weigh treatment options—whether choosing between Invisalign and braces, or deciding when to replace a restoration.
