Do I Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Generally, Dr. Mamah recommends full mouth restorations for patients who have oral health issues affecting most or all of their teeth. We can customize a restorative treatment plan to address a wide variety of concerns, including:
Missing teeth
Fractured or broken teeth
Severe dental erosion
Jaw pain
Chronic headaches
Periodontal disease
Gum recession
Congenital dental conditions
Tooth decay
Before recommending a full mouth reconstruction, Dr. Mamah will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and discuss your goals, concerns, and budget with you. Based on this information, she can tailor a dentistry plan to improve the overall health of your mouth.
Full Mouth Reconstruction Commonly Combined Procedures
No two restorative treatments are the same because every patient has his or her own set of unique needs. Your streamlined dental care plan may include:
Dental Implants
Implants are small threaded posts that are placed in the jaw to replace missing tooth roots. Implants can support a range of restorations and provide an unparalleled level of stability. This solution also reduces the risk of bone recession that follows the loss of a tooth.
Dental Bridges
A bridge is a custom-made restoration designed to replace consecutively missing teeth. For example, patients who are missing one to three teeth in a row can benefit from a dental bridge. This device can be attached to natural teeth or dental implants for optimal stability.
Dental Crowns
Sometimes decay or damage is too extensive for a dental filling. Your Hackensack, NJ, dentist can place a crown over a damaged tooth to restore its integrity and appearance. She can also use an implant-supported crown to replace a single lost tooth in the mouth.
Dentures
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, Dr. Mamah can provide a traditional or implant-retained denture. A traditional denture uses the gums and underlying bone ridge for support, while an implant denture relies on titanium posts embedded in the jaw.
Fillings
For small areas of decay, a dental filling can replace damaged tissue and restore the strength of the affected tooth. A filling can typically be placed in just a single office visit. Your Hackensack, NJ, dentist uses tooth-colored composite fillings that blend in with your smile.
Inlays or Onlays
Dental inlays and onlays are a good option for moderate areas of damage that do not require a dental crown, but are too extensive for a filling. Custom-crafted inlays or onlays fit into the natural tooth structure, much like puzzle pieces. They can be made from composite, gold, or porcelain.
Periodontal Therapy
Left untreated, gum disease can wreak havoc on your oral and overall health. In fact, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. At Designing Smiles, we offer a range of treatments for gum disease to restore your periodontal health and reduce the risk of re-infection.
Root Canal Therapy
If oral bacteria reach the pulp of a tooth, a dental abscess can form. Root canal therapy can save an infected tooth and prevent the need for an extraction. This treatment can typically be completed in two to three visits to our practice. Dr. Mamah may place a crown as an added layer of protection.
Tooth Extraction
For teeth that are beyond repair, Dr. Mamah can perform an extraction and replace the removed tooth with a custom restoration. We have several teeth replacement options available, from traditional dentures and bridges to implant-retained restorations.
