We offer a variety of treatment options to help patients enjoy healthier, more beautiful smiles. Some, such as preventive treatments, are designed to safeguard smiles against the onset of common problems. Cosmetic problems can help improve smile beauty. Restorative treatments address issues with the function of your smile. But what if you require more than one type of procedure? What if you need a full-mouth reconstruction?
The Initial Exam
First, we will need to examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your real health concerns. We will also sit down with you to discuss your goals and hopes for your new smile. We will use advanced technology, such as digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, to obtain a detailed view of your smile, above and below the gum line. We can then recommend the procedures we feel will help reconstruct your smile.
Repairing Teeth
Often, a reconstruction begins with addressing underlying problems, such as periodontal disease or decay/infection. We can employ deep cleanings (scaling and root planings) as part of our effort to manage your periodontal problems and prevent periodontitis, the advanced stage often responsible for tooth loss.
We can also use restorations to address decayed or infected teeth. We can offer lifelike fillings, inlays and onlays, and dental crowns. We can actually use a CAD/CAM system called CEREC to create and place a dental crown in a single sitting.
Replacing Teeth
If you have lost teeth we can offer replacement. We can discuss dental bridges, partial dentures, or even a full set of natural looking dentures. We can also provide dental implants or use them to support a fixed bridge or denture as well. If you have any questions about what goes into a reconstruction, then contact our office today.
