As you may already know, you should practice a consistent oral hygiene routine at home and also see your dentist twice a year. These steps can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums and avoid many common oral health issues. While these steps are highly effective at helping you avoid cavities and gingivitis, there are times where you may still require additional dental work. If you have damaged your smile in any way, our team is here to help recover the tooth and protect your oral health. The team at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, offers several restorative options and a full mouth rehabilitation (FMR) plan for patients who need several treatments. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about how an FMR plan could help you.
Evaluate Your Current Oral Health
Whether you go to the dentist regularly or you haven’t been in a few years, it’s likely that you will need restorative treatments at least a few times in your life. When you come in for your checkup, a hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth before the dentist examines your oral cavity. This checkup is important because it can help detect common problems such as cavities, broken teeth, TMJ, and more. After identifying these problems, your dentist can create a treatment plan to target these concerns. Instead of needing several appointments to address various problems, your dentist may create an FMR plan that can help correct many of these issues at once.
Improving Decay, Damage, And More
Your FMR plan is personalized to your specific needs. The first step is to address problems like cavities or damaged dental structures. After your oral health has been improved, cosmetic treatments can also be considered. Your dentist may include treatments including dental fillings, dental crowns, bridges, and more. A dental filling can help restore your tooth after a cavity has formed. The damaged part of the tooth is removed before adding a new material to the area. If you have chipped or worn down one of your pearly whites, dental crowns can be added to the area to restrengthen and protect the tooth.
Cosmetic Enhancements To Transform Your Smile
After the structure and health of your smile has been corrected, your dentist may also recommend cosmetic services that can improve your appearance. For instance, you may have an improperly aligned smile which can make you feel self-conscious. Options like clear aligners could help discreetly shift your teeth into the correct position. We also offer treatments such as professional teeth whitening that can help break down surface stains. You can talk to your dentist about your main concerns to find a treatment that best fits your needs.
