Choose a Prosthodontist for Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Patients who need extensive dental work to repair or replace teeth require a full-mouth reconstruction. The process includes a combination of aesthetics and restorative dentistry. The goals are to improve the patient’s oral health, restore the function of the teeth, and produce a beautiful smile. Choosing Dr. Evan Grodin, a specialist in prosthodontics, for your full mouth reconstruction ensures that all three goals are met.
Edentulous patients, or those who have no teeth at all, are at a higher risk for specific health problems, including chronic kidney disease. Replacing the missing teeth restores oral health as well as general well-being. Choosing a prosthodontist to replace the missing teeth affords you a variety of options, all of which will be executed with the highest level of skill.
Patients who have extensive dental issues should also consider a prosthodontist when looking for solutions. Dental problems, including missing teeth, large fillings that are damaged, cracked or broken teeth, or eroded teeth due to bruxism or other habits such as chewing on ice or other hard objects, are addressed to reestablish oral health, function and beauty.
The prosthodontist has advanced training that includes addressing the replacement and repair of damaged or missing teeth and the aesthetics involved. Specialized training in the cosmetics of repairing and replacing teeth translates into a better balanced and more natural-appearing result.
Why is a Prosthodontist the Best Choice for Full-Mouth Reconstruction?
While any qualified dentist can perform a full-mouth restoration, the advantages of choosing a prosthodontist for the project are many. To become a prosthodontist, a dentist is required to have an additional three years of training and study on top of the four years of schooling and training necessary for a degree in dentistry.
The additional years of education in the specialty of prosthodontics enables the prosthodontist to offer a higher level of cosmetic dentistry and tooth restoration. Prosthodontists are highly skilled in providing optimal dental care that results in improved oral health, a stronger bite and a gleaming smile of which you can be proud.
When you have missing teeth that need to be replaced or extensive repairs on your remaining teeth, you can be assured that you will receive the most aesthetically pleasing results when a prosthodontist performs the restorative procedures. These dentists have been trained to pay attention to the nuances of the appearance of teeth. The solutions to your missing teeth will have a more natural look because the prosthodontist considers several factors.
For example, people have different tooth shapes, sizes and colors. Even the color of the gums is unique to individuals. People with darker skin tones tend to have darker gums. Your prosthodontist will consider this when fabricating your oral prosthetics.
The prosthodontist understands that there are no universal shortcuts in replacing teeth or providing a patient with restorations that do not look artificial. Creating prosthetics that look realistic is as much an art as a science, and the prosthodontist has mastered both through extensive training.
Form, Function and Fabulous
Missing, damaged and decayed teeth compromise your health as well as your appearance. When you choose a prosthodontist to repair and replace your teeth, you are assured the work will be performed in a way that will produce the best results.
Prosthodontists are skilled in making sure your restorations are comfortable, work well and look realistic. The prosthodontist is concerned with how your teeth come together. Their function should be one that does not cause discomfort or problems later.
Ill-fitting restorations can throw off your natural bite or cause your teeth to become irritated or sore. Poorly fitting prosthetics can cause sore spots that are very uncomfortable and often painful. The prosthodontist knows exactly what to look for to minimize the chances of developing sore spots and other problems that can crop up with certain restorations and prosthetics.
In addition to better-fitting restorations, your prosthodontist has been trained with an eye toward aesthetics, so your restorations will enhance your smile. Replacing your missing teeth will provide structure to sagging lips and cheeks and make you look younger and healthier. When you smile, your teeth will look natural and not artificial.
