There are many procedure options available for a full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Crystal Dental will go over all options that will benefit your smile transformation goals. It is important to remember that we always have your oral health in mind as a top priority. Aesthetic treatments will be postponed if your teeth, gums, or bone tissue are unhealthy to begin with as it important to build on a solid foundation. These issues must be addressed prior to any aesthetic treatments.

• Periodontal Care- If during the initial exam we found an advanced stage of gum disease, this would need to be treated immediately. Our recommendation will be to complete a deep cleaning, which includes root scaling and planning or a laser treatment. The plaque will be removed from the teeth under the gumline to remove the source of the infection. This is a solid foundational start. We might also consider gum contouring as part of the aesthetic reconstruction.
• Bone Or Gum Grafting- A bone graft might be beneficial if you have left a missing tooth un-replaced and the jawbone has begun to atrophy. A bone graft is necessary if you are interested in replacing missing teeth with a dental implant. A dental implant needs enough jawbone structure to fuse properly and offer the stability and support.
• Root Canal Therapy- A cavity can easily occur if you do not brush or floss your teeth properly and an infection has then developed inside a tooth’s pulp. This infection can also be from a crack or if there is damage to the tooth that has allowed bacteria into the tooth. A root canal will involve the removal of the infected pulp, and then usually a crown will be added for protection. This is the best way to keep the natural tooth in place to ensure the smile remains natural.
• Dental Implants- A dental implant is the best tooth replacement solution today. It is the only option that allows you to replace a missing tooth permanently. A tiny titanium post will be surgically placed into your jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root. Then an extension or abutment and a dental crown will be added to sit on top of the gum line to replace the tooth. This allows you to have the function and look of a natural tooth, and it also preserves the jawbone integrity and density.
• Dental Crowns- Crowns, acting like a cap, can be added on a tooth to improve your smile. If a tooth has a large restoration that cannot withstand the biting forces without the possibility of cracking, then a crown is recommended by Dr. Crystal Dental. A crown can also be used to restore the look of a damaged tooth.
• Orthodontics- Braces are an appliance to correct misaligned teeth. While the treatment options for corrective braces have advanced over the years, metal brackets and wires are still a popular and successful option. Invisalign is growing in popularity by offering you a unique method to straighten teeth with clear plastic trays. There are benefits for straightening teeth beyond the aesthetics. Your teeth can be realigned which might also eliminate a traumatic bite, muscle pain, and jawbone deterioration.
