Full Mouth Reconstruction in Greenbelt, MD
Consider the daily tasks our teeth accomplish: from biting into crunchy foods to chewing our meals, clenching during moments of stress, and even grinding while we sleep. After years of wear and tear, our teeth inevitably lose some vitality. Enamel wears away gradually due to acidic foods, improper brushing, or other factors, increasing susceptibility to decay and sensitivity. Additionally, our teeth may become cracked or chipped from accidents or repetitive strain. In some cases, we may even lose teeth due to damage or disease, impacting both our oral health and self-confidence. However, when it comes to dental care, the march of time is not necessarily irreversible. Full mouth reconstruction offers a comprehensive solution to address these issues, restoring whatever your mouth has lost over time. From repairing damaged teeth with crowns and fillings to replacing missing teeth with dental implants or bridges, full mouth reconstruction aims to return both function and aesthetic appeal to your smile, helping you regain confidence and enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life.
Full mouth reconstruction may entail:
- Dental implants: These are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Dental implants provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
- Bridges: Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap between remaining teeth. They are anchored to adjacent teeth or dental implants, providing a natural-looking and functional solution.
- Dentures: Complete dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They restore the ability to chew and speak properly, as well as enhance facial aesthetics.
- Partial dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill in gaps left by missing teeth and are typically held in place by clasps attached to the remaining teeth.
- Crowns: Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
- Composite fillings: Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations used to repair teeth that are decayed, cracked, or worn. They blend seamlessly with natural teeth and provide durable and aesthetically pleasing results.
…and additional cosmetic or periodontal services. No matter your concerns, our compassionate dentists will treat you as an individual and come to understand your case. Once we have established a relationship with you, we will be equipped to proceed in the way that is best for your needs. Full mouth reconstruction is Dr. Barzgar and Dr. Pakpour’s specialty.
Regain Tooth Function in A Single Day
Looking to Transition from Dentures to Dental Implants?
If you wear dentures and would like to transition to stable, non-removable teeth, our dentists are able to place dental implants and create independent teeth from your dentures, all within the space of one day. The steps of single day full mouth reconstruction are as follows:
You bring your dentures to Cherrywood Dental Associates in Greenbelt for your appointment.
Your dentist places six implants in the maxilla (upper jaw).
We create individual teeth from the teeth secured together in your dentures. These teeth screw into the implants that were just placed.
You leave the appointment with new tooth roots and non-removable teeth. You will be able to eat with them, and speak normally. Your dentures have become more natural in look and feel!
Though we mentioned placing implants in the maxilla because it is more common, we are able to place them in the lower jaw as well. Should you desire implants but wish to continue using dentures, we are able to place the implants and secure your dentures to the foundation they create. No matter your wishes, we will accommodate them. We gain professional and personal satisfaction from meeting your dental needs and exceeding your expectations.
