Full Mouth Rehabilitation Treatment Options
As mentioned earlier, no two full mouth rehabilitation processes are the same.
This is because each patient has their own unique needs and anatomy. Our team
can determine the best possible combination of treatments for each patient
during a one-on-one consultation. There are several potential treatment options
for full mouth rehabilitation, including dental bridges, dental crowns, dental
implants, dental onlays, and dentures.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a pontic, or false tooth, held in place by
the natural teeth on either side of the gap. They can be made of various metals,
such as gold; however, they are typically made with porcelain to appear more
natural in the mouth.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns act as caps for damaged teeth. There are several different types of
dental crowns, including porcelain crowns, ceramic crowns, zirconia crowns,
metal crowns, composite resin, and more. Crowns that only cover a part of the
tooth are known as onlays or ¾ crowns.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgically placed artificial tooth roots placed in the
jawbone where the teeth are missing. They can support large bridges, single
crowns, and dentures. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental Onlays
Dental onlays fit inside the tooth cusp. They extend onto the back tooth's
chewing surface, and they can replace one or more cusps. They may be made of
ceramic-porcelain composite or gold.
Dentures
Dentures can be complete or partial, fixed or removable. Complete dentures are
used to replace all teeth, while partial dentures are used to replace some
teeth.
