Restorative Dental Procedures Offered
Here are the restorative procedures offered by Fine Dental Care:
Full Mouth Reconstruction
When a patient has many missing or compromised teeth, full mouth reconstruction can help to bring back complete function. Full mouth reconstruction involves a combination of restorative and cosmetic procedures, including:
Some patients may also need orthodontic work to complete a full mouth reconstruction.
Bone Grafting
When patients lose teeth, their bodies slowly reabsorb parts of their jawbones where the root once stood. Jaw resorption causes the “sunken” look in the patient’s face associated with missing teeth. This resorption means there may not be sufficient bone mass to place a dental implant.
Bone graft surgery involves making an incision in the gum and opening a small part of the bone beneath. The dentist places a small amount of ground bone material (donor, animal, or artificial) in the bone and sutures the gum. The graft material will provide structure for new bone to grow.
Sinus Lifts
Dental implants require a minimum upper jawbone height to install. If the jawbone is too short, the implant screw may impinge on the sinus, causing pain and possible infection.
A sinus lift involves opening the gum to expose a small part of the upper jaw. The dentist gently repositions the membrane that lines the sinus. Finally, they place a bone graft in the upper jaw. When the bone graft heals, implant surgery can proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
How long does a bone graft take to heal enough for a dental implant?
Typically, a bone graft takes about three to nine months to be ready for an implant.
How does the dentist determine whether I need a sinus lift?
The dentist will use advancing imaging techniques, such as the CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanner, to determine whether you have sufficient jaw bone height.
How long does a full mouth reconstruction take?
Full mouth reconstruction is a multi-step process that may take anywhere from three months to over a year.
