If you have been living with damaged, missing or misaligned teeth, full mouth reconstruction can offer a life-changing solution. Full mouth reconstruction is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a customized treatment plan that combines several dental procedures, restoring both functionality and aesthetics to your smile. Whether you are dealing with extensive tooth loss, severe decay or cosmetic concerns, full mouth reconstruction can help you achieve your smile goals.

Join us in exploring the key services involved in full mouth reconstruction and how each can contribute to restoring your optimal dental health and appearance.

Dental Implants & Restorations: A Long-Lasting Solution

One of the most effective options in full mouth reconstruction is dental implants. These titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Implants can replace one or several missing teeth, providing a durable and permanent solution.

Once the implant integrates with your jawbone, it is topped with a restoration, such as a crown, bridge or denture. The result is a natural-looking tooth replacement that functions just like your real teeth. Dental implants help preserve your bone structure, prevent facial sagging and offer a long-term solution for tooth loss.

All-on-4 & Implant-Supported Dentures: Stability and Comfort

For patients with extensive tooth loss, All-on-4 and implant-supported dentures are transformative options. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and often slip, All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants to anchor a full arch of teeth securely in place. This method provides a stable natural-feeling solution for replacing a full set of upper or lower teeth.

Similarly, implant-supported dentures offer more stability than traditional dentures. Instead of relying on adhesives or suction, these dentures are attached to dental implants. This ensures they stay in place while eating or speaking, giving you confidence and comfort. Both options reduce the inconvenience associated with traditional dentures and help you reclaim the function of a full, healthy smile.

Crowns: Restore Strength and Appearance

If you have damaged, decayed or weakened teeth, dental crowns play a crucial role in full mouth reconstruction. Crowns are custom-made caps that fit over your natural tooth to restore its shape, size and strength. They are often used after root canals, large fillings or as a finishing touch to dental implants.

Crowns not only restore function, but they also improve the appearance of your smile by blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Made from durable materials like porcelain or ceramic, crowns mimic the look of natural enamel, giving you both aesthetic and practical benefits.

Traditional Dentures: An Affordable Option

For those who are not candidates for implants or prefer a more affordable option, traditional dentures are a tried-and-true method of tooth replacement. While they may not offer the same stability as implant-supported solutions, modern advancements have made dentures more comfortable and realistic than ever before.

Dentures can be customized to fit your mouth perfectly and restore your ability to chew and speak effectively. With proper care, they can last for many years, offering a functional and cosmetic solution for missing teeth.

Veneers: Perfecting Your Smile

If your smile goals include improving the appearance of chipped, stained or misaligned teeth, veneers can be an excellent addition to full mouth reconstruction. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth, creating a flawless appearance.

Veneers are ideal for patients looking to correct minor imperfections, such as gaps, discoloration or uneven teeth. They provide an instant transformation and can be custom-designed to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth.

Achieving Your Smile Goals with Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction is a highly personalized process that addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns. Whether your goal is to regain the ability to chew and speak comfortably, improve the appearance of your smile or restore your oral health, there is a combination of treatments that can meet your needs. From dental implants to veneers, the options available through full-mouth reconstruction can help you achieve the smile you have always dreamed of.

When it comes to your smile, there are times you may need dental restorations to replace missing teeth. February  is host to Valentine’s Day and National Toothache Day, which makes it a great time to show your smile some love and make sure your pearly whites get the attention they need and deserve. Never ignore a toothache, because unless it’s from a bit of food lodged between the gums and teeth, there is likely something very wrong with the tooth.

Never Ignore a Toothache

A toothache can arise for several reasons including severe infection that has damaged a big area of the tooth and the supportive bone material. Another cause is when tooth decay has ravaged a tooth so much that it can’t be fixed with a dental restoration. Also, our doctors may extract a tooth when there is extensive crowding in the mouth from having too many teeth to fit properly. Don’t worry though, if you have a tooth that needs pulling, our prosthodontists can use sedation dentistry to make sure your tooth extraction is both comfortable and as painless as possible. We understand that your dental experience leaves a lasting impression.

Once one or more teeth are gone, our skilled Denver Restorative Dentistry team can replace missing teeth. We have a variety of tooth replacement choices that we have used to help many satisfied patients smile again with pride by replacing lost teeth with one of our premier dental restorations:

We are excited to help you do the same for your smile! We can customize a treatment plan for you so that you can once again smile, eat and speak with ease and confidence. No more hiding your smile when you are with others. A healthy looking smile can make an impact on your personal and work relationships and improve your quality of life.

Call Today!

Now is a good time to show your smile some love as your oral health truly impacts many areas of your life. One of our premier  prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok will be happy to meet with you to evaluate your oral health and offer restorative solutions in Broomfield, Colorado. Please call 303-586-1019 today!

Why You Might Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction To Restore Your Healthy Smile https://www.denverrestorativedentistry.com/why-you-might-need-a-full-mouth-reconstruction-to-restore-your-healthy-smile/ Tue, 15 Feb 2022 22:58:08 +0000 https://www.denverrestorativedentistry.com/?p=2414 Taking good care of your smile involves daily oral care and routine dental exams and cleanings.

Taking good care of your smile involves daily oral care and routine dental exams and cleanings. Even so, there are times when your oral health may still run into trouble. Whether from tooth damage or dental decay there are treatments that can address these issues and restore your mouth and smile back to full function and an aesthetic appearance. Our skilled prosthodontists, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre, Dr. Anna Pitz and Dr. Ralf Poineal can help you get your smile back!

One of the ways we can do this is through full-mouth reconstruction, which can be the best option for when your mouth has suffered excessive decay or damage, seriously harming multiple teeth that will need replacing. So how do you know that you might need a full-mouth reconstruction, here are some of our most common reasons:

  • You have cracked or broken teeth
  • You have suffered a dental injury
  • Your mouth has experienced trauma, severely damaging multiple teeth
  • Severe tooth decay
  • Oral infection
  • Advanced gum disease (periodontitis), a serious oral infection

Whether you have bad oral health, a misaligned bite or missing teeth, these can also harm your remaining teeth and the problem with treating one area at a time is that your remaining teeth will keep wearing down, decaying or inviting further damage. And it’s not just your teeth, but your dental restorations that are at risk. So, one of the most important reasons you have for replacing a lost tooth or fixing a damaged one is so that it won’t harm your other teeth! Full mouth reconstruction allows us to fix your oral issues so your mouth can be healthy again.

Did you know that even long-term exposure to oral acids from the food and drinks (wine, soda, sparkling water) you consume can lead to tooth erosion over time? If you already suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) it can lead to tooth erosion from the constantly present acid coming up. The same happens if you have a serious eating disorder like bulimia that can damage tooth vital tooth enamel.

To determine if you might benefit from having a full mouth reconstruction done by our team at Denver Restorative Dentistry, we will first evaluate your smile’s current oral health and aesthetic appearance and explain how we can improve your smile’s health and beauty overall. Full-mouth reconstruction may mean having a combination of the following treatments done, such as:

  • Bridges
  • Crowns
  • Dentures (complete or partial)
  • Fillings
  • Implants
  • Veneers

Once we have reviewed our results with you to determine what restorations would be best for your unique needs, we can go to work and perform your full mouth restoration. The results mean restoring your full smile in both form and function. Our experienced prosthodontists, Dr. Goggins, Dr. Aguirre, Dr. Pitz and Dr. Poineal have performed many full-mouth reconstructions and are skilled at helping you to receive the same high-quality care so you can fall in love with your smile again (or even for the first time!) You can see some of our successful full-mouth reconstructions here. We invite you to fill out a REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT form. We look forward to scheduling your FREE consultation to see how we can help you restore your healthy, beautiful smile!

Losing a tooth to decay or injury is never fun, that’s why Denver Restorative Dentistry strives to help protect your teeth with dental cleanings and exams and root canal therapy to save a tooth when possible. But if you do lose a tooth or require extraction, it should be replaced with a dental restoration. Dental implants are a great way to make sure the jaw bone that supported the tooth stays healthy, preserving your facial structure and appearance so your smile looks great.

Our prosthodontists, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz, and our team in Broomfield, Colorado offer dental implants for our patients who have lost teeth. As dental restorations go, they are one of the most stable tooth replacements out there since they are implanted in the jaw bone. Dental implants can replace one lost tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire arch.

Biocompatible, Sturdy and Long-Lasting

The dental implant post, or screw, is biocompatible with your mouth as it is made from titanium. It is surgically implanted into the missing tooth area, acting as a tooth root. Once the surgery site heals and the bone fuses to the screw you will have a stable, durable tooth replacement once the implant restoration is custom-fitted on top of the post. The result? You will have a natural-looking and feeling tooth that can last many years.

Our team of prosthodontists at Denver Restorative Dentistry has years of experience restoring smiles with dental implants and making sure your end result is perfect for you. As it looks, feels and functions just like the rest of your natural teeth so you can smile again with confidence. If you take care of your dental implant, it can last for a lifetime since the long term success rate is between 95-98 % easily outlasting traditional dentures and bridges that need upkeep and repairs and replacement.

Why Choose a Dental Implant

  • They are the only tooth replacement option that stabilizes the bone and surrounding teeth, preserving jaw bone from being lost over time.
  • Unlike bridges, they don’t involve altering the surrounding healthy teeth to hold them securely in place.
  • Unlike dentures that can severely damage surrounding teeth, bone, and soft tissue in the mouth over time, or shift around in the mouth, impacting your ability to chew, speak and even clean, your implant will stay securely put in your mouth.
  • Unlike dentures and bridges, dental implants don’t require extra maintenance.

As you can see, dental implants offer your smile long-lasting benefits! If you have one or more missing teeth, we invite you to check out our dental implant restorations. Just give our team a call at 303-586-1019 to schedule your complimentary consultation. You can also schedule your visit online. We look forward to helping you create a smile you can show off with confidence!

Just because a tooth is severely damaged, it does not necessarily need to be extracted. Even when many other treatment options have been exhausted, it may be possible to save a tooth with a dental crown.

A dental crowns is highly reliable treatment option designed to cap and conceal a tooth teeth on all sides down to the gum line. Not are crowns customizable to give you the look that you desire, but they are also extremely durable to help protect your teeth for decades to come. In fact, dental crowns can last anywhere from two decades up to an entire lifetime of use.

Dental crowns can support bridges and protect teeth than have had root canals. Furthermore, dental crowns are extremely effective and safe for children that are have had trouble with tooth decay. They can even be used to bind together bits of broken teeth and hold together fillings and teeth when there’s not enough tooth remaining to hold a filling.

If you would like information about dental crown treatments in Broomfield, Colorado, Denver Restorative Dentistry would love to help you. For a thorough examination to determine if dental crowns are right for you, you can set an appointment with Dr. Taylor Goggins by calling our dentist office at 303-586-1019.

While it’s rare, there are times when a hard blow to the face or other form of oral trauma can potentially damage a tooth. Sometimes this can be a minor problem that chips or fractures tooth enamel. Yet there are some extreme cases when the damage penetrates deep into the tooth, causing trauma to the root and nerve. A telltale symptom of a problem this severe includes heightened sensitivity and strong pain.

In some cases, Dr. Taylor Goggins can repair the tooth with a root canal. If the damage to the root and socket are severe, a root canal might not be a viable course of treatment. For a tooth in this dire condition, they might recommend a total extraction.

After a few weeks, your gums will have fully healed and they can help you understand your dental restoration options. One of the fastest methods for replacing the tooth is with a dental bridge. This is single piece of dental work that replicates the full function and appearance of the broken tooth. The replacement tooth is fused to a pair of crowns that are anchored on abutments that are formed out of the two neighboring teeth.

Your dentist will then use a drill to remove the tooth enamel from each tooth to form a pair of post-like abutments. This creates a small, protective sheath that houses the healthy pulp and root of each tooth. Temporary crowns will then be secured over each abutment to protect them.

A detailed impression will be made of the abutments as well as any other corresponding teeth. This will be sent to a dental lab to help guide the technicians as they produce your new bridge.

When your new bridge is ready, a member of our staff will call you to schedule a second appointment. The temporary crowns will be removed and your new bridge will be cemented into place.

If you have suffered a badly damaged tooth, you should call Denver Restorative Dentistry at 303-586-1019 to schedule an appointment regarding a dental bridge in Broomfield, Colorado.
