Recently, we have discussed how treatments such as fillings, crowns, and bridges can restore your smile after a variety of problems. If done individually, it could take several months to bring your oral health back to good condition. Your Grinnell Street Dental team in Sheridan, WY, offers full-mouth rehabilitation plans that can address a variety of problems at once. Today, we will explore what this plan could include.
Getting Started With A Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Before creating your treatment plan, you will need to meet with your dentist. They will examine your oral cavity and discuss any concerns they may have. This treatment option is great for patients who have several problems they would like to address. If you only need a single restoration, this may not be used. Instead, your dentist will recommend that you schedule your appointment to have the issue fixed. However, if it has been a while since your last visit and several areas of concern need to be addressed, this may be a helpful option. Instead of scheduling multiple separate restorations, the team can produce a plan to do several in one visit. The treatments done will depend on your unique needs and goals.
Addressing Oral Health Concerns
An FMR plan can include a combination of restorations or cosmetic improvements to address a variety of issues. The first step will be to renew your oral health. This may include getting dental fillings, crowns, or starting TMJ treatment. Fillings are used to restore your tooth after a cavity has occurred. It is important to have this done before any visual changes are made. Otherwise, the cavity can continue to deteriorate the structure which could cause serious problems in the future. If you have harmed one of your pearly whites, a dental crown may be used to repair it. Crowns can be used to restore your tooth after a chip, or fracture, or if it is severely worn down. Lastly, if you are missing teeth, your dentist may discuss replacing them with a bridge or an implant. The prosthetic used will depend on your needs and health status.
Improving The Appearance Of Your Smile
Once your oral health has been refreshed, the team can concentrate on addressing visual concerns. It is natural to experience some blemishes and discoloration throughout your smile, but it can make your grin appear less attractive or seem unhealthy. We can address this with a variety of methods depending on the type of imperfection. For instance, clear aligners can be used to straighten out your smile. Then, a teeth whitening service can be done to remove stains from the surface of your teeth. If discoloration occurs below the enamel, veneers or bonding may be used as an alternative method.
