In most cases, consistent dental checkups can keep your teeth and gums in good health and avoid the need for many extensive restorations. However, if it has been a while since your last visit, you may have several concerns that need to be addressed. This can seem overwhelming and time-consuming, but your team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY can help simplify this process with a full-mouth rehabilitation plan. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss what is included in this plan and how it can help you.
Your Treatment Plan Is Tailored To Your Needs
Before your full-mouth rehabilitation (FMR) plan is created, your dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of your smile. They will look for cavities, tooth loss, and other oral health concerns that need to be addressed. An FMR plan is tailored specifically to your needs, so each plan is unique to the patient. It can include restorative work, such as fillings, TMJ treatment, or tooth replacement options, as well as cosmetic treatments to improve your appearance. This treatment option may be most helpful for patients who have several oral health concerns they would like to address. Instead of needing several visits over the span of a few months, we can schedule these treatments to be completed in less time.
We Focus On Your Smile’s Function First
The first part of your FMR plan will include restoring your smile’s function. Issues such as cavities, missing or broken teeth, and misalignment can be corrected during this time. Your tooth can be restored after a cavity with a dental filling. The damaged part of your tooth will be removed, and a strong material will be added in its place. If the decay is more severe, a root canal may be necessary to repair your smile instead. Patients experiencing tooth loss may be able to have a bridge placed or receive implants to replace their missing teeth. The type of prosthetic used for this will depend on your specific needs. Patients missing up to three teeth in the same area may be able to receive a dental bridge. Dental implants are another helpful option that can address various forms of tooth loss and create long term security for your smile.
Improve Your Appearance With Cosmetic Treatments
After your smile’s health has been renewed, you can discuss cosmetic treatments with your dentist. Options like professional whitening, bonding, or veneers can help improve your appearance and boost your confidence. It’s important that your oral hygiene is in good condition before starting these visual improvements. Your dentist can help you decide which option is best for your needs based on your concerns.
