Living with broken down, failing, painful or missing teeth is a scenario that will feel familiar to many people. It’s easy to take a healthy, functional smile for granted until issues arise. When there are multiple dental problems to correct, full mouth reconstruction in Ajax may be a solution.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth Reconstruction is slightly different from cosmetic dentistry since it focuses on restoring functionality and oral health as well as appearance. It is an approach that can address multiple issues, including:
- Severe tooth decay.
- Severe wear and tear in teeth.
- Bite problems.
- Infected teeth.
- Missing teeth.
If any of these issues sound familiar, then full mouth reconstruction in Pickering could help. It is an approach that requires careful, meticulous planning. It may be necessary to coordinate several different treatments to achieve optimal results and strong, healthy, pain-free teeth and a balanced bite.
What Type of Treatments Are Used during Full Mouth Reconstruction?
A range of restorative dental treatments may be recommended for full mouth reconstruction, including treatments like root canal therapy or gum disease treatment to restore oral health.
Often, dental implants in Newcastle are used to restore teeth that are missing or which must be extracted during full mouth reconstruction. Sometimes it is necessary to prepare the jaw for implants by other more advanced treatments like gum and bone grafting.
How Is Treatment Planned?
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation at Durham Dental Solutions. Please don’t worry if it has been a while since you last saw a dentist. We never judge and provide kind, compassionate, and respectful dental care, and we would love to help restore your oral health.
When you come to see us, our dentist can gently examine your mouth, discuss your concerns, and review your dental health.
We must also review your medical history. This is to ensure that any treatment we recommend will not interfere with any medical conditions or prescription medicines, or other treatments you currently receive. If necessary, we can liaise with your GP or other healthcare providers during treatment.
Digital Diagnostics
Digital imaging is needed to assess your oral health more closely. These diagnostic tests are fast, painless and non-invasive. They include Digital dental X-rays and photographs, and digital impressions of your mouth. We may wish to take a cone beam CT scan, a 3-D image of your jaws and any existing teeth. This is especially useful if you intend to have a dental implant treatment in Oshawa.
Understanding Your Treatment Plan
We use all this information to devise your custom treatment plan. It will include every treatment we recommend and the predicted costs. We will allow plenty of time to explain this plan to you and to ask all the questions you need. We realize it can be a lot to take in, and of course, you are always able to contact us again to ask further questions.
Digital Smile Design
Part of the treatment planning process may involve digital smile design in Clarington. This process utilizes 3-D models of your mouth and digital photography to create a virtual representation of how your new teeth could look once you have completed treatment.
We find this a very useful tool, as it can be a struggle to visualize how your teeth could look once oral health and functionality are restored. Understandably, people may feel apprehensive about committing to a comprehensive treatment plan without knowing the possible results.
Your digital smile design can help us explain your treatment plan more clearly, showing you how a particular treatment can help restore oral health and your smile.
