If your smile has become worn or damaged over the years, you may be curious about how your dentist can help you repair it. With a full mouth reconstruction treatment, you may be able to restore years of dental issues and rebuild your gorgeous, glowing grin. Here’s a closer look at 5 incredible treatments your dentist can use to bring it back!
Scaling & Root Planing
To ensure your smile makeover has a firm foundation, your dentist may need to treat your gums if they have become infected with periodontal disease. Scaling and root planing is a two-part procedure that removes built on deposits of plaque from above and below the gumline and then smooths the roots of your teeth so your gums can healthily reattach. Then, once your smile has healed, you can begin working on restoring other areas of your mouth without the fear of periodontal disease causing further problems and tooth loss down the road.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are deluxe fillings that are used to protect larger areas of damage. They fit over your teeth like caps, restoring both their appearance and function. They are ideal for repairing large cracks, chips, and cavities that may be too big for traditional fillings.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Tooth colored fillings are made of durable, lifelike composite resin and can be used to repair decay in your smile that could eventually cost you the entire tooth. This material can be shaded to match your healthy teeth, so nobody will know you have restorations when you open your mouth to eat, speak, and smile, and because they’re so durable, they can be used to enjoy a full diet!
Dental Implants
Are you missing one or more teeth? Traditional replacement options like dentures and dental bridges are excellent choices, but if you’re looking for a more permanent solution, dental implants are the way to go. These natural looking prosthetics anchor to your jawbone via the process of osseointegration, never need to be removed, and allow you to enjoy full biteforce, so there are no dietary restrictions!
Invisalign
If your teeth are misaligned, gapped, crowded, or you simply have a bad bite, Invisalign aligners may be able to help. These discreet trays fit over your teeth to gently move them into a more ideal position and are an excellent option for anyone looking to maintain a professional appearance during orthodontic treatment.
Remember, a full-mouth reconstruction can be anything you want it to be and can even include as little or as many treatments as you need to achieve your goals. To learn more about these plans, and to customize one that is right for your smile, schedule a consultation with your dentist today.
