When you need your grin rebuilt, you can trust a full-mouth reconstruction to do the job. It combines a slew of restorative procedures that make your whole smile strong, full, and healthy. That said, you should consider full-mouth reconstruction treatment options beforehand; you’ll get better results that way. Your local Alhambra dentist aims to make this happen, ensuring your teeth and gums thrive. So, read on to learn the various treatments a full-mouth reconstruction can include.
Dental Crowns
Patients with “broken” teeth can make dental crowns part of the reconstruction. In doing so, they’ll strengthen the treatment sites.
Dental crowns are small, tooth-sized caps made of varying materials. Once placed over damaged or decayed teeth, each one restores the durability of a weak tooth. The reason is simple: crowns keep harmful oral bacteria and debris from reaching the vulnerable areas of damaged teeth. To the extent they fulfill this role, they prevent cavities from worsening and provide stability.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Is your grin suffering from minor cavities or tooth decay? In that case, you could include tooth-colored fillings in your full-mouth reconstruction.
Tooth-colored fillings are materials that repair decayed and fragile teeth. Often made of composite resin and similar substances, they “fill” the holes left in enamel by bacterial acids. Fillings can thus help restore treated teeth back to full strength, even as they hide the prior decay.
Dental Implants
You may need tooth replacement to truly rebuild your smile. If so, your reconstruction can feature top-quality dental implant treatment.
Dental implants are small posts made of dental-grade titanium. Unlike dentures or dental bridges, they must be placed directly in the jaw as alternative tooth roots. The posts then fuse with surrounding bone tissue and become permanent parts of your mouth. That way, dental implants remain secure and don’t slip or fall out over time.
Porcelain Veneers
Occasionally, a reconstruction needs to hide a patient’s smile flaws. The good news is that it can feature porcelain veneers in that case.
Modern porcelain veneers are shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Once secure and stable, they hide a wide range of smile flaws – large stains, major chips, glaring cracks, etc. Dentists also tailor their color, size, and shape to blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth. Due to this customizing work, the treatment results look lifelike and don’t draw unwanted attention.
