Full mouth restoration is a way to bring your smile back to a natural, healthy state. It involves rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in the upper and lower jaw. Oftentimes, it can be the solution for patients who have multiple dental problems. Causes can range from trauma related injuries, fractured teeth, decayed teeth, disadjustments in the bite, grinding the teeth or long-term avoidance of dental care. Sometimes a full mouth restoration will be done for cosmetic reasons.
There are several ways of restoring a person´s mouth:
Crowns: completely caps or encircles a tooth. They are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement.
Porcelain Veneers: are a cosmetic procedure made to reshape a chipped or broken tooth, for tooth discoloration, to extend the length of a tooth, to make teeth whiter, to reshape the line of your teeth or to give you a beautiful new smile. Veneers cover the visible portion of the tooth or teeth and are usually performed on the upper and lower front 6 teeth.
Inlays: are used to replace mercury or amalgam fillings for a more pleasing esthetic appearance. When a cavity is too big, an inlay is used to prevent the tooth from getting fractured or breaking.
Implants: Dental implants have become a popular and successful option used by dental professionals for restoring missing, severely damaged or diseased teeth. They are usually made from titanium and resemble an actual tooth root. They can also improve or restore chewing and/or speech problems that can be caused or be related directly to missing teeth.
