If you need your smile rebuilt, a solid dental team could do that job for you. Full mouth restoration would ensure your grin looks and feels as good as new. With that said, this service tends to involve a wide range of dental procedures; your care may take a while. Your Springfield dentist will even give you a clearer sense of the matter. So, here are four full mouth restoration treatment options your repairs may feature.
Dental Implants
Does your smile only lack a tooth or two? In that case, your restoration could include a dental implant treatment. This option is well-suited for replacing individual teeth.
If you didn’t already know, dental implants are small posts made of titanium. A dentist places them directly in your jaw as alternative tooth roots. Once set in your jawbone’s empty sockets, they slowly fuse with surrounding tissue and become permanent parts of your mouth. This process ensures the dental implants remain secure and don’t slip or fall like a denture could.
Dental Crowns
If your restoration needs to repair “broken” teeth, it’d likely benefit from dental crowns. Adding the latter to your treatment would really spruce up your grin.
Today’s dental crowns are small “caps” placed over damaged or decayed teeth. Once set over their treatment sites, they restore the durability and looks of each weak tooth in your smile. The caps fulfill this role by protecting damaged areas from harmful oral bacteria and debris.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Maybe your grin is suffering from some cavities or tooth decay. If so, there’s a good chance your full mouth restoration will involve tooth-colored fillings.
Per their name, tooth-colored fillings “fill” the holes (i.e., cavities) left in decayed teeth. They normally consist of composite resin mixed with various materials – glass, quartz, etc. Once applied, they bring treated teeth back to full strength and hide decay from view.
Porcelain Veneers
Some restoration work may need to hide severe smile flaws, but don’t panic. A dentist could easily place porcelain veneers as part of your treatment.
For the record, veneers are thin porcelain shells placed on the fronts of teeth. Their main role is to hide a patient’s major smile flaws – severe stains, large chips, cracks, etc. Furthermore, dentists tailor the shells’ color, size, and shape to blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth. This customizing ensures your treatment results don’t stand out or draw unwanted attention.
