Select Full Mouth Reconstruction Treatments

1

Tooth Extractions

Although Dr. Thompson always tries to save a tooth, sometimes the only solution is to remove a badly decayed, infected, cracked, or otherwise failing tooth and replace it with a bridge or dental implant. At NuSmile Dental, we offer three types of sedation dentistry to ensure your comfort during this procedure and other full mouth reconstruction treatments. Depending on the location of the tooth that needs to be extracted and your anxiety level, you can choose between nitrous oxide, oral sedation, or IV moderate sedation.

2

Occlusal Adjustment

When you close your mouth, your top teeth should evenly touch your bottom teeth. An improper bite (malocclusion) can cause many problems such as difficulty chewing, teeth grinding and clenching, headaches, jaw pain, tooth erosion, and issues associated with TMJ. Occlusal adjustment involves selectively removing minimal amounts of tooth surface that are causing interferences. Dr. Thompson will ask you to bite on a very thin piece of paper that allows him to see and eliminate these interferences. This simple process is repeated until the proper tooth position is achieved.

3

Scaling and Root Planing

If you have gum disease, we treat this first before creating any type of restoration. This non-surgical treatment involves a two-part deep cleaning. Scaling removes all the plaque and tartar above and below your gum line, down to the bottom of the pocket. During root planing, we remove plaque, tartar buildup, and bacteria from the roots of your teeth and smooth any rough surfaces.

4

Full and Partial Dentures

If you’re missing most of your teeth and the rest are failing, full dentures may be a good option. Full dentures are custom-made removable teeth fabricated from a flesh-colored plastic or acrylic that rests on your gums. When designed correctly, dentures should fit snugly and comfortably. Partial dentures are made from the same material, however, they only replace a few teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures rarely require adjustment because dental implants prevent bone loss associated with missing teeth. This option offers greater support and stability, so you can eat any food without restrictions.

5

Dental Implants

Dental implants permanently replace one or more missing teeth. The titanium post is surgically placed in your jawbone and functions like a natural tooth root. After the post fuses with your jawbone, a customized restoration (tooth crown) is attached to the post with an abutment. Dental implants restore 99% of normal function, beautify smiles, and improve oral health and confidence.

6

Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns are used for existing teeth that are chipped, broken, fractured, badly decayed, or treated with a root canal. The crown is placed on your tooth surface and cemented into position, acting as a cap to protect what remains of your natural tooth. A dental bridge comprised of porcelain crowns fused with metal is used to treat a missing tooth. Digital impressions eliminate messy impressions, while our in-house milling technology allows us to create same-day crowns and bridges, which means no longer having to wait weeks to restore your smile.

Our Personalized Smile Restoration Process

Full mouth reconstruction is complex and often requires multiple procedures to properly restore full health and function to your smile. To ensure your treatment is tailored to your specific needs, the first step is to schedule a consultation and evaluation at our practice in Saratoga Springs, UT. During this appointment, we encourage you to share the difficulties you’ve been experiencing. Dr. Thompson will discuss your smile goals and budget, perform a thorough exam, and take digital x-rays and or a scan of your entire mouth, jaw, throat, and face using sophisticated 3-D cone beam imaging. He will then create a customized plan that complements your facial features and symmetry, lips, and gums. To help make full mouth restoration affordable and your dream smile a reality, we accept many insurance plans and partner with a third-party financing company. Although the primary goal of full mouth restoration is to restore functional dental health, you’ll also experience cosmetic improvements to your smile aesthetics. With an artistic background, creating beautiful smiles comes naturally to Dr. Thompson. Just like a wonderful piece of art, he takes his time and applies his extensive skills to ensure a beautiful result. Full mouth restoration is a masterwork in progress, so restoring each tooth to its proper health may take weeks or months. If you have gum disease, a tooth root infection, or need a tooth extracted, we perform these treatments first to provide a healthy foundation for the rest of your teeth. After your full mouth makeover is complete, your amazing new smile will be revealed. With it, you’ll enjoy the considerable benefits afforded by optimal oral health, including newfound confidence!
