Dental implants are a great way to restore the appearance of your smile by replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. Many dentists recommend dental implants as a part of a Full Mouth Reconstruction, particularly for patients who want the most long-term and natural replacement solution for missing teeth.
Every patient receives a personalized full mouth reconstruction treatment plan. The following is a complete review of how dentists can use dental implants to replace missing teeth, in addition to a brief review of other common services that are included in a full mouth reconstruction treatment plan.
Dental implants are screw-like posts of titanium material that are fixed into the jawbone. Their purpose is to serve as the root for a replacement tooth, which is either a crown, bridge or denture, depending on the number and location of the teeth that are being replaced. Dental implants offer many benefits over traditional dentures and fixed bridges, including the ability to preserve jawbone density and unmatched durability. The treatment process (see below) is longer, however, and requires a minor surgical procedure.
Dental implants are ideal for patients with one or more missing teeth who want the most long-term solution to teeth replacement. Also, many patients choose dental implants over traditional dentures since they are non-removable and feel much more like natural teeth. However, dental implants require a longer and more invasive treatment process, so patients who want a faster and more affordable solution may prefer another treatment option as a part of their full mouth reconstruction.
The treatment process for full mouth reconstruction, and specifically when dental implants are included in the treatment plan, looks different for every patient. Some patients require treatment before the implant is placed. Most notably, dental bone grafting is required for patients who have lost bone inside of the jaw.
In addition to teeth replacement with dental implants, there are many other full mouth reconstruction services. As discussed, the goal of full mouth reconstruction is to address several oral health, functional and cosmetic concerns in a single treatment plan. Several common full mouth reconstructions that may also be included in your treatment plan may include:
Of course, there are many more benefits in addition to the ones listed above. During the consultation with a general dentist for full mouth reconstruction, they will conduct a thorough oral examination, order dental X-rays and put together a treatment plan that they recommend. The patient can ask questions and make adjustments as they desire, according to their needs, preferences and budget.
