What Is Advanced Treatment Planning?

At Imagine Your Smile in Woodbury, MN, Dr. Wilhelm uses advanced planning software to visualize your treatment from start to finish. This allows patients to see their expected results before treatment begins and ensures every step of the process is coordinated for optimal function, comfort, and aesthetics.

Benefits of Advanced Treatment Planning for Complex Cases

Complex dental situations require sophisticated planning to ensure successful outcomes. Our advanced digital technology and specialized expertise allow us to map out every detail before treatment begins, giving you confidence in predictable, long-lasting results.

See Your Results Before Treatment Starts

Advanced digital planning lets you preview your new smile before any work begins. This technology shows exactly how your teeth will look and 
function, so you can make informed decisions and feel excited about 
your transformation.

Avoid Unexpected Complications

Detailed pre-treatment analysis identifies potential challenges and plans solutions in advance. This thorough preparation minimizes surprises, reduces treatment time, and ensures smoother procedures with more predictable healing.

Minimize Treatment Time

Precise planning means less chair time and fewer appointments. We can complete procedures more efficiently because every step is mapped 
out in detail, reducing the disruption to your daily schedule and 
work commitments.

Reduce Risk and Improve Safety

Advanced imaging and planning technology identifies important structures like nerves and sinuses before treatment. This enhanced precision significantly reduces risks and ensures your safety throughout 
complex procedures.

Coordinate Multiple Specialists

When your case requires different types of specialists, our advanced planning coordinates everyone’s work seamlessly. This team approach ensures all treatments complement each other for optimal results and eliminates conflicting recommendations.

Achieve More Predictable Outcomes

Digital treatment planning removes much of the guesswork from complex cases. You can feel confident that your final results will match the planned outcome, giving you peace of mind about your investment.

Optimize Healing and Recovery

Detailed planning allows us to minimize tissue trauma and optimize your body’s natural healing response. This leads to less post-treatment discomfort, faster recovery times, and reduced need for pain medication.

Preserve Healthy Tooth Structure

Advanced planning identifies exactly how much tooth structure needs to be removed and preserves as much healthy tissue as possible. This conservative approach maintains the strength and longevity of your

Plan for Long-Term Success

Our comprehensive planning considers not just immediate needs but how your teeth will function and age over decades. This forward-thinking approach ensures your treatment remains successful for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Complex Cases FAQs

At Imagine Your Smile, Dr. Wilhelm’s advanced treatment planning ensures even the most complex dental cases receive precise, predictable care. Our comprehensive approach addresses challenging situations that require specialized expertise and careful coordination.

What makes a dental case considered "complex"?

Complex cases typically involve multiple missing teeth, severe bone loss, bite problems, failed previous treatments, or combinations of restorative and surgical needs. Dr. Wilhelm handles cases requiring extensive reconstruction, implant placement in challenging anatomy, or coordination between multiple specialists. These situations demand advanced planning skills and specialized training that general dentists often refer to prosthodontists like Dr. Wilhelm.
Our planning process begins with comprehensive imaging including 3D scans, bite analysis, and detailed examination of your oral structures. Dr. Wilhelm uses specialized software to virtually plan your treatment before beginning, allowing us to anticipate challenges and optimize results. This technology-driven approach ensures precision and helps coordinate complex procedures for predictable outcomes.
We utilize CBCT imaging, digital impressions, and computer-guided surgical planning software to create detailed treatment roadmaps. Dr. Wilhelm uses these tools to virtually place implants, design restorations, and plan surgical procedures with exceptional accuracy. This advanced technology allows us to share your treatment plan with you visually, helping you understand each step of the process.
Proper planning prevents complications, reduces treatment time, and ensures optimal long-term results. Dr. Wilhelm’s systematic approach identifies potential challenges before they occur and coordinates all aspects of your care. This thorough planning is especially crucial for complex cases where multiple procedures must work together harmoniously for successful outcomes.
The planning phase typically takes one to two weeks after your initial consultation, depending on case complexity. Dr. Wilhelm reviews all diagnostic information, consults with specialists when needed, and develops a comprehensive treatment strategy. This investment in planning time significantly improves treatment efficiency and success rates for complex cases.
Yes, Dr. Wilhelm collaborates with oral surgeons, periodontists, and other specialists when your case requires multiple areas of expertise. This team approach ensures all aspects of your treatment are carefully coordinated. Our established relationships with skilled specialists mean seamless communication and integrated care throughout your treatment journey.
Absolutely. Dr. Wilhelm uses digital smile design technology to show you predicted treatment outcomes before beginning work. This visualization helps you understand the planned changes and provides opportunity for input on aesthetic preferences. Seeing your future smile helps ensure your expectations align with planned results and builds confidence in your treatment decision.
Our thorough planning process anticipates most potential complications, but when unexpected situations arise, Dr. Wilhelm’s extensive experience guides appropriate modifications. We communicate immediately about any changes needed and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. This flexibility, combined with careful planning, ensures successful outcomes even when complications occur.
While Dr. Wilhelm handles extremely complex cases, he maintains relationships with specialized centers for rare situations requiring additional expertise. If referral is necessary, we coordinate your care and remain involved in the treatment planning process. However, our advanced training and technology allow us to successfully treat the vast majority of complex cases in our office.
Dr. Wilhelm’s detailed planning includes realistic timelines that account for healing periods and potential adjustments. We schedule procedures strategically to optimize healing and minimize delays. Regular progress evaluations ensure treatment stays on track, and our flexible scheduling accommodates any necessary timeline adjustments while maintaining treatment quality.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Wilhelm and his invaluable staff. The process for my implant dentures was thoroughly explained. I was treated with respect and kindness throughout this entire process and would recommend Imagine Your Smile to anyone who is considering replacement teeth. From walking in the reception area to leaving after an appointment is a cared-for experience. Thank you!!

I went to see Dr. Wilhelm after spending 3 years trying to get a decent set of dentures for my implants. I honestly expected to be disappointed again. I was so WRONG. Dr Wilhelm did the most amazing job! I feel like I won the lottery. I look like me again for the first time in years. I am so happy I cried. Every person in that office is so kind. For the first time in my life I look forward to going to the dentist!!!!

I saw Dr. Wilhelm back in 2006 for an upper denture and extraction. Throughout the process, Dr. Wilhelm checked in with me through the extraction to ensure I was comfortable and not feeling any pain. He even called me later that evening to check in and see how I was doing. His team is professional, caring and knowledgeable. I have told a lot of people about my experience with him as I was so lucky to find such a great team. I can’t thank them enough. BTW, even to this day, my denture (no implants) has fit like a glove and is in great condition. I have not needed anything to hold it in place.

Dr. Wilhelm has been our family dentist for more than 20 years. His staff at Imagine Your Smile could not have been more attentive providing information and reassurance while I considered implant surgery. They were detailed and professional during preparation for the procedure. The surgery went on without difficulty or discomfort. The follow-up was thoughtful, considerate, and professional. I’ve always been confident that Dr. Wilhelm and his staff provide the best dental care available. Outstanding work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wilhelm since I was kid. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such wonderful dental care over the past 20+ years. I just had my first filling for a cavity and Dr. Wilhelm and his team did an amazing job. They are professional, thorough, and efficient. I didn’t feel a thing and the filling is absolutely beautiful and blends in with the tooth. Thanks Dr. Wilhelm!

Dr. Wilhelm and his staff did an amazing job on my daughter’s teeth. She had lost her 2 front teeth and needed implants and some cosmetic dental work. The entire process went smoothly and the end result is beautiful. I couldn’t be any happier I would highly recommend him for any dental work.

The first time I went to see Dr. Wilhelm was about 16 years ago – I was absolutely so impressed. He was so detailed, took the time to explain everything. Three years ago I started having issues with my teeth – my mouth was changing. I decided to try local. I could not handle it anymore, my mouth was so bothersome and I was telling my wife how I should have just gone to Dr. Wilhelm. So I did! My wife says I just shine when I smile. Talk about another great pair of dentures. I cannot thank you enough Dr. Wilhelm and your staff! Another job well done!

They provide excellent dental care. I go for the general dentistry cleanings and exams. Laurie the Hygienist is easy to talk with and puts you at ease. Great education on any questions you might have about your teeth. Doc Wilhelm is very thorough. Even if you don’t have prosthodontic issues, this team is well qualified to handle your dental needs.

I can’t say enough about my great experience with the entire staff. I had previous implants and dentures started by someone else and was very dissatisfied with the results so far. Dr. Mark and Steph were great to work with and so nice and patient with me! Dr. Mark immediately saw what the problems were before I even explained what I felt was wrong. Over the next several months, he worked with me to find the perfect placement and look. He even brought in an outside speech therapist for a consultation for me. I am completely satisfied and grateful for his time and expertise. My only regret is that I didn’t go see him in the first place!

Dr. Wilhelm and his staff are truly an outstanding team, and I highly recommend them for any procedure. I have been a patient for many years, and when I was facing major work with much apprehension, Dr. Wilhelm was kind and encouraging, helping me to overcome my fear. I was completely comfortable throughout the procedure and my results are amazing!

The staff at Image Your Smile are fabulous people. They are kind , polite and professional . I had a terrible experiences with a dentist as a young kid and was always anxious about going because having a sore mouth for a week was the norm back then .These people do high quality work, explain the procedure and make you feel welcome from the time that you walk in the door . I am excited about having a new smile that I can display and would recommend that if you need restorative work , that you give them a call.

Expectations exceeded. I haven’t had much luck in this field but I was treated very well here. The appointment was set up within a week! They took me in a little early. Dr. Wilhelms assistant was fabulous, she was not only nice but genuine! Budget was an important aspect of my service needs and I was given many options and found a reasonable solution. They went on to take the impressions for the next step without first making me schedule a new appointment . They showed me costs upfront and total cost, (no hidden side service, xray, taxes, etc.) I highly reccomend this establishment every step of the way.
