Full Mouth Reconstruction
Infection
In other cases, a patient may lose multiple teeth to dental caries (tooth decay), gum disease or other infections. Upon infection, the dentist will do everything in his or her power to prevent the spreading.
However, some patients may not visit the dentist at least once every six months and allow the infection to spread. If the infection spreads to the tooth, then there is a possibility that an extraction will be necessary.
When a patient has an infection, a root canal is one option to treat the tooth. A root canal lets the dentist remove the infected pulp and clean the area. Following a root canal, we will plug up the hole with a dental filling.
In the cases where the tooth is removed due to infection, we may recommend a dental implant. The dental implant is a titanium post that bonds with the jaw bone through osseointegration.
We will also place a dental crown on top of the implant to create a sturdy and natural-looking tooth.
If the infection has spread to multiple teeth, Balance Advanced Dentistry and Orthodontics will recommend the best option for treating the infection and repairing one’s teeth.
Trauma
In many cases, the patient may have experienced a traumatic accident and be in need of repairing a chipped tooth while also simultaneously replacing another tooth that fell out. Since accidents can happen at any time, it is difficult to prepare for the possibility of damaging more than one tooth.
Through full mouth reconstruction, the dentist will be able to repair the mouth while also repairing the appearance and functionality of a patient’s teeth. If a patient experiences an accident that results in damage to the teeth, seeking an emergency dentist as soon as possible is a necessity.
If a patient goes to a normal emergency room after damaging a tooth, the nurse can only triage the wounds but not treat the condition. At Balance Advanced Dentistry and Orthodontics, we will find the best treatment for each individual and recommend options that help to repair the damage.
Patients assume that the only option will be one that merely imitates the appearance of a natural tooth and that the patient will have to practice caution when eating for the rest of his or her life.
In reality, we can provide possible treatments such as dental implants, dental bonding, dental crowns, dental veneers, dental bridges and more to help repair the appearance and functionality of the tooth.
After a full mouth reconstruction at Balance Advanced Dentistry and Orthodontics, our patients can smile confidently and eat what they like since our repairs are long-lasting and sturdy. A patient does not need to live with a cracked or damaged set of teeth.
Reconstruction Methods
At Balance Advanced Dentistry and Orthodontics, we will ensure that each patient receives the best full-mouth reconstruction for his or her needs. We can reconstruct a mouth with a variety of dental tools and options at our disposal.
The tools, options and restorations for a full mouth reconstruction include:
- Dental implants
- Dental crowns
- Dental veneers
- Dental bridges
- Dentures
- Root canal
These are only a few of the possible treatment options. The difference between a full mouth reconstruction and cosmetic dental care is that a full mouth reconstruction is a necessity and not a choice. Our team is skilled in full mouth reconstructions and will make sure the final product is to the patient’s liking.
Some patients may have concerns over the price of full mouth reconstructions and avoid the necessary treatment. The longer one goes without the necessary treatment, the great the pain and risk. For instance, an adult who loses a tooth and does not seek treatment will allow the jaw to weaken over time. If the jaw weakens enough, then there will not be a way to install a dental implant in the gap.
