Understanding full-mouth reconstruction and dental rehabilitation services
Our dental team at Las Cruces Dental Associates, PC describes full-mouth reconstruction as a method of dental rehabilitation or a “smile makeover” that addresses the function and appearance of the smile as a whole. It is often a combination of various cosmetic and restorative treatments performed on the teeth and gums to rejuvenate and transform a patient’s smile completely. They are best for those with extensive tooth loss or damage who need to seek various dental procedures to restore their smile to its original function and beauty.
What services might be included in a full-mouth rehabilitation dental plan in Las Cruces, New Mexico?
We might combine any of the following services to provide the transformation you deserve:
- Dental implants: These are the anchors used to secure artificial teeth in place.
- Crowns: Crowns are typically used to repair damaged or decayed teeth or to protect and strengthen the remaining tooth structure.
- Bridges: A bridge is a device that fills a gap between two natural teeth.
- Dentures: Complete or “full” dentures replace all of your upper or lower teeth, while partial dentures fill spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting position.
- Dental veneers: These thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material improve the appearance of discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth.
- Gum contouring: This procedure helps correct uneven gum lines and excessive gum tissue, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
- Orthodontics: Braces or alternatives like clear aligners can help straighten crooked teeth and improve overall bite alignment.
- Teeth whitening: This cosmetic treatment can brighten and whiten discolored, stained teeth, improving the overall appearance of your smile.
A full-mouth rehabilitation plan is customized to meet each patient’s unique needs and can be completed in one or two appointments or over time, depending on the patient’s finances and personal desires.
