Tooth loss can leave you feeling more than just incomplete; it can feel like a part of you is missing. You might find yourself asking, “Is this it for me? Will I ever feel like myself again?” These are the kinds of thoughts that keep you up at night. When your smile doesn’t feel like your smile, it can change how you see yourself. At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, we see this every day. People just like you, feeling lost, maybe even frustrated, who are ready to feel whole again. And we’re here to provide advanced solutions like full mouth restoration. With this solution, we do more than fix teeth; we help you regain that sense of self, that confidence, that feeling of being you again.
Who Benefits From Full Mouth Restoration?
Full mouth restoration supports people dealing with several issues at once. Instead of addressing each issue separately, we look at the overall picture and decide what needs to be rebuilt, reinforced, or replaced to support long-term function.
- Restore: We bring strength back to teeth that have weakened over time. When a tooth still has a healthy foundation, reinforcing it helps it function comfortably again.
- Repair: We correct issues like decay, cracks, or fractured edges so the tooth can remain stable. This step focuses on fixing what can still serve you reliably.
- Replace: We address spaces where teeth cannot be saved. Filling these areas with implants, bridges, or dentures re-establishes chewing strength and overall balance.
By combining these three actions, a full mouth restoration improves the look of your smile and revitalizes your mouth’s overall function.
What To Expect During the Full Mouth Restoration Process
Dr. Shatkin begins by thoroughly assessing your dental health. This is an in-depth examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Using tools like X-rays, impressions, and scans, he gathers precise information that forms the foundation of your treatment.
Before beginning major restorative work, Dr. Shatkin also addresses any existing oral health issues. Think of this step as laying a strong foundation before building a house—you need a healthy base to support long-term results. This process might involve deep cleanings, periodontal therapy for gum disease, or tooth extractions. During this stage, any infections, cavities, or underlying issues will also be treated.
Once we determine what your treatment will look like, we provide a cost estimate. Several factors influence treatment cost, including the number of teeth involved, the need for extractions or periodontal care, the type of implant system chosen, and the materials used for your restorations. At your consultation, we review these details step by step so you understand the investment and the long-term value it provides.
How Mini Dental Implants Support Full Mouth Restoration
If you’re on the journey of full mouth restoration, the thought of dental implants may seem a bit overwhelming. However, Dr. Shatkin has a solution that simplifies the process dramatically with mini dental implants.
With the patented Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® (Fabricated Implant Restoration and Surgical) Technique, Dr. Shatkin has simplified the dental implant process, making it faster and more comfortable. Mini dental implants are just under 3 millimeters in diameter. That is almost half the size of conventional implants. This smaller size allows for a minimally invasive placement, reducing discomfort and healing time while still delivering a long-lasting, reliable solution for tooth loss.
The Final Touch: Customizing Your Smile With Crowns, Bridges, and More
Once your preparatory work is complete and the mini dental implants are securely in place, the next exciting step is adding the final restorations. We can place crowns, bridges, or even dentures onto your mini implants. But remember, full mouth restoration isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every smile is unique, and we tailor your treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
Dental crowns can cap individual implants, restoring a natural look and function to each tooth. Dental bridges can replace multiple missing teeth and are secured by implants for long-lasting stability. And if dentures are the best option, they can be anchored firmly in place with mini implants, giving you a comfortable, secure fit!
Once your oral health is stable, we can refine the appearance of your smile with additional cosmetic treatments:
- Veneers: These cover the visible surfaces of natural teeth, creating a uniform, polished look
- Clear aligners: Krystal Klear Aligners™ from our iSmile spa offer a discreet way to address mild alignment concerns.
- Professional whitening: This brightens your final result and enhances the overall appearance of your restored smile.
