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 for you 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.
What Is a Full Mouth Restoration?
When we discuss a full mouth restoration, it helps to focus on the “Three R’s”: restore, repair, and replace. These three actions form the foundation of transforming your smile and dental health.
- Restore: This step is all about bringing back what’s lost. When teeth are damaged or worn down, we aim to return them to their former strength and function. It’s like giving your teeth a fresh start!
- Repair: Sometimes, teeth need a little fixing. Whether it’s from cracks, chips, or decay, repairing means using modern techniques—like fillings or crowns—to patch things up and make your teeth whole again.
- Replace: When a tooth cannot be saved, we must replace it. This step could include dental implants, bridges, or dentures to fill in the gaps. Replacing teeth restores both your bite and your smile.
By combining these three actions, a full mouth restoration improves the look of your smile and revitalizes your mouth’s overall function.
Laying the Foundation: Preparatory Procedures
Dr. Shatkin begins by thoroughly assessing your dental health. This step is more than just a routine check-up; it’s 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. But this process isn’t just about the technical side—it’s also about understanding your goals. Are you looking to restore your smile’s appearance? Do you need to improve your chewing and speech? Dr. Shatkin will work closely with you to ensure that the plan reflects your priorities, guiding you through each step of the process.
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. This approach ensures your mouth is healthy enough for the restoration process and sets you up for long-term success.
Mini Dental Implants: A Streamlined Approach to Full Mouth Restoration
A critical step in restoring your smile is replacing missing teeth, and while there are several options available, mini dental implants often rise above the rest. 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 less than 3 millimeters in diameter—almost half the size of conventional ones. 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. By using mini dental implants, you’re replacing missing teeth efficiently and less invasively—an ideal option for anyone seeking a smooth, effective restoration process.
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 a one-size-fits-all approach. 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, secured by the 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!
But full mouth restoration goes beyond function—our main goal is to fully restore your oral health. Once that’s achieved, we offer additional cosmetic options to perfect your smile. Veneers can give your natural teeth a flawless appearance, covering imperfections and creating a stunning, uniform look. If alignment is part of your goal, our Krystal Klear Aligners™ from the iSmile spa offers a discreet way to realign your teeth without the hassle of braces. To top it all off, we provide professional teeth whitening to brighten and enhance the final result, leaving you with a radiant, polished smile.
