With a full spectrum of services available, you can regain a healthy smile and the confidence and joy that come with it.
What Is Full-Mouth Restoration?
Full-mouth restoration is a comprehensive approach to dental care that focuses on restoring both the function and appearance of your entire set of teeth. It’s ideal for those facing significant dental issues that affect multiple teeth or the overall structure of the mouth.
This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals with:
- Multiple missing teeth
- Severely worn or damaged teeth
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Decayed or infected teeth
Dr. Hopkins can combine restorative and cosmetic procedures to address these concerns, offering full-mouth restoration that transforms your smile and enhances your oral health.
What to Expect From Full-Mouth Restoration
Treat and Prepare Your Teeth
Before beginning full-mouth restoration, we thoroughly assess the health of your teeth and gums to ensure they can support the upcoming treatments. This evaluation includes checking for infections, gum disease, or cavities needing immediate attention. Sometimes, more intensive treatments are necessary. If we identify periodontal issues, we will provide the appropriate care to address them.
Dr. Hopkins may recommend root canal therapy for severely infected or damaged teeth. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp inside the tooth and sealing it to prevent future issues. However, if a tooth is beyond saving, we will recommend an extraction. Removing damaged or infected teeth is crucial for establishing a healthy foundation for your full-mouth restoration.
Replace Missing Teeth
Once Dr. Hopkins ensures your mouth is healthy, replacing missing teeth is the next step in full-mouth restoration. Dental implants are one of the most effective solutions for this. Dr. Hopkins places small titanium posts into your jawbone, which act as strong anchors for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This approach provides a stable and lasting solution, closely mimicking the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. With dental implants, you can enjoy the confidence of a complete, functional smile that feels just like your own.
Dr. Hopkins offers mini dental implants, a unique alternative to traditional implants. Traditional dental implants typically have a diameter of around 5 millimeters, requiring a substantial amount of jawbone for proper placement. If your jawbone doesn’t have enough density, you may need bone grafting before the implant procedure can be completed. While effective, this additional step can make the process more complex and time-consuming. Considering the scope of your full-mouth restoration, you might not be eager to take on these extra procedures.
Mini dental implants, however, are much smaller, with a diameter of less than 3 millimeters—about half the size of standard implants. These implants feature a one-piece titanium post with a ball-shaped end that sits above the gum line. Because of their slim design, Dr. Hopkins can often place mini dental implants even if you have limited bone density. The procedure is minimally invasive, involving just a small hole through the gums, which results in less bleeding and quicker healing. Mini dental implants are a simpler, faster option for replacing missing teeth.
Enhance Your Full-Mouth Restoration With Our Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
While the primary goal of full-mouth restoration is to restore your oral health and function, enhancing the appearance of your smile is also an important focus. At this stage, Dr. Hopkins integrates cosmetic dentistry techniques into your treatment plan to improve both the look and function of your teeth.
One option is porcelain veneers, which can address issues like chips, gaps, or discoloration, creating a smooth and uniform appearance. Dr. Hopkins also uses dental bonding to repair minor imperfections with a tooth-colored resin. For those seeking a brighter smile, we provide teeth whitening to remove stains and lighten the color of your teeth effectively.
