Full Mouth Reconstruction Here at Durham Prosthodontics we have all the expertise required to carry out a full mouth reconstruction. A full mouth reconstruction involves rebuilding and rehabilitating a dental structure that has been severely damaged. The damage could be as a result of an accident, or prolonged neglect of your dental health. A full mouth reconstruction usually encompasses a couple of procedures and brings together different specialists. Periodontists, Endodontists, Oral Surgeons, and Orthodontists are just some of the specialists whose services could be required during a full mouth reconstruction. Crowns, bridges, veneers, root scaling, sinus lift, ridge augmentation, teeth whitening, and many other procedures might be part of the process. It all depends on the extent of damage in your mouth, and what exactly needs to be worked on. To put the process of full mouth reconstruction into perspective, it can be broken into three categories. Teeth rehabilitation, gum treatment, and jawbone restoration. Teeth RehabilitationTeeth rehabilitation encompasses all the procedures aimed at repairing or restoring damaged or lost teeth. This is where dental implants and prosthetic teeth such as bridges and crowns come in handy. Root scaling procedures are also part of teeth rehabilitation. Dental cleanings and teeth whitening are also part of it. Tooth rehabilitation essentially deals with tooth damage or loss, but it also helps with aesthetics. Many the teeth restoration procedures always pay close attention to cosmetic appearance. Ultimately, the goal is to restore functional teeth in the patient's mouth. Gum TreatmentOur periodontists will handle all your gum issues. Periodontal diseases are quite common in cases of dental health neglect. Soft tissue surgeries, Guided Tissue Regeneration, and gum graft procedures are some of the procedures you can expect when it comes to the gums. A gum graft is necessary when you have receding gums, or part of your gums has been lost in an accident. Gum treatment improves the strength of your teeth and the aesthetics of your dental structures. Jawbone RestorationProcedures involving the jawbone are necessitated by either jawbone loss, injury, or temporomandibular joint disorder. There are many cases where people get their jawbone or temporomandibular Joints damaged in an accident. A restorative procedure will be essential before anything else is considered. The jaw and the temporomandibular Joints are the base of the rest of your dental structure, and they need to be in good condition for any other restorative procedure to be successful. Jawbone restoration might feature procedures such as ridge augmentation and sinus lift. Full mouth reconstruction is not to be confused with a smile makeover. A smile makeover could be part of a full mouth reconstruction. The smile makeover procedure is essentially aimed at improving the appearance of your teeth and gums. A full mouth reconstruction is a complex process that needs to be handled by professionals and specialists. We are one such team of accomplished professionals, using the latest techniques with digital planning for full mouth reconstruction, and we can indeed reconstruct your mouth.
