Flattering Dental Restorations
Cherrywood Dental • Jul 09, 2013
This week, we’re looking to change the general consensus on dental restorations. Dental implants, dentures, dental bridges, and dental crowns may rebuild missing tooth structure, but they don’t stand out as “prosthetics,” as noticeable additions to your smile. Rather, the dental restorations available with our Greenbelt dentist and Woodbridge dentist offer all the functionality of a natural tooth while appearing to be a natural part of your smile. Whether your restoration is minor or substantial, it will never be obvious. Read on to learn more about natural dental restorations used in full mouth reconstruction to rethink the way you feel about replacement teeth.
Aesthetic, Natural Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a collection of restorative dental treatments that rebuild worn, damaged, or even missing teeth. Reconstruction can range from simply adding structure to worn dentition to replacing entire teeth. No matter the methods involved in your full mouth reconstruction, it will always be aesthetically ideal. Full mouth reconstruction may involve the following treatments:
- Dental bonding – Tooth-colored dental resin bonded directly to teeth to add structure, cover stains, and close gaps
- Dental crowns – Tooth caps that fit over natural teeth to restore the entire tooth
- Dental veneers – Thin shells that bond to the visible surfaces of teeth to create a new, enamel-like layer
- Dental bridges – Crowns attached to a false tooth that span a gap left by a missing tooth
- Dentures – Full sets of replacement teeth, for those missing a number of teeth
- Dental implants – Replacement tooth roots made of titanium that naturally fuse with your jaw bone over time, creating a foundation for restorations.
From your first consultation to your final appointment, our dentists will communicate with you as to your ideal results. This will allow us to arrive at a final smile that perfectly matches your imagined smile. If you’re frustrated by worn or missing teeth, it’s time to take charge. Contact our Greenbelt dentist or Woodbridge dentist to set up your consultation.
