A Combination of Treatments That Deliver Results
Dental Implants and Bridges
These are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement bridges or teeth, preventing bone loss in the jaw.
Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign® treatment may be performed to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues.
Crowns
Custom-made caps that cover damaged and decaying teeth to fix their shape, size, strength, and appearance for a natural-looking smile.
Bone Grafting
This treatment can augment the bone affected by tooth loss to provide adequate support for dental implants.
Additional Treatments
Tooth extraction (decayed or beyond repair) and gum tissue repositioning are also used to create a healthy foundation for your restoration.
Advantages of Partial Mouth Reconstruction
Undergoing partial mouth reconstruction addresses more than missing teeth; the treatment is highly effective for multiple oral concerns.
Eat What You Love Again
Missing or broken teeth can make chewing difficult, leading to digestive discomfort and potential nutritional deficiencies. Partial mouth reconstruction ensures proper chewing function, allowing you to comfortably enjoy a broader range of hard and soft foods.
Long-lasting Oral Health Benefits
Addressing missing teeth through reconstruction prevents potential dental problems like shifting teeth or jaw misalignment. Tightly packed teeth eliminate food traps, promoting long-term oral health.
Speak with Clarity and Confidence
Partial dentures or bridges installed during the procedure ensure optimal tongue positioning, reducing slur. It also promotes clear and confident communication so you are always ready to impress with a smile.
Longevity of Natural Teeth
Preventative dentistry helps preserve the lifespan of natural teeth. Treatments such as fluoride safeguard your teeth against bacteria and plaque build-ups, contributing to better aesthetics and health.
Reduced Risk of TMJ Dysfunction
Partial mouth reconstruction alleviates strain from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by creating a balanced bite. It also curtails the risks of headaches, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing, improving the overall quality of life.
The Process of Getting Partial Mouth Reconstruction
At Klooster Family Dentistry, your partial mouth restoration procedure looks like this:
Comprehensive Dental Evaluation
The first step involves a comprehensive evaluation. A dental professional will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, review your medical history, and consider factors like age and oral health to tailor a treatment plan.
Advanced Imaging
Using top-of-the-line 3D imaging technology, dentists scan your mouth to capture precise measurements of your remaining teeth. This information is used to design custom-made dentures and bridges that perfectly match the size, color, and shape of your natural teeth.
Achieving a Perfect Fit
Once your partial dentures or bridges are ready, the dentist will meticulously assess their fit and stability in your mouth. Minor adjustments can be made to ensure optimal comfort and function when chewing and speaking.
A Life-Changing Transformation
Partial mouth reconstruction offers life-changing results by transforming your smile and facial aesthetics. A complete smile can dramatically improve your self-esteem and overall quality of life.
Partial mouth reconstruction is a convenient procedure for achieving a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. Faster healing and significant results make mouth restoration better than temporary treatments.
