Your smile is often one of the first things people notice about you. Unfortunately, when you have missing teeth or other dental issues, you may feel reluctant to smile around others. This can lead to low self-esteem and depression over time.
At our practice, we want every patient to finish their treatment with a flawless smile they can feel proud of. That’s why Dr. McCraw offers the option to combine multiple treatments into a full-mouth reconstruction for patients who want to transform their appearance.
Reasons For Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Dr. McCraw typically recommends full-mouth reconstruction for patients who have severe issues with their smiles. These may include:
- Missing teeth
- Gum disease
- Decayed or discolored teeth
- Damaged, broken, or worn-down teeth
- Misaligned teeth
Treatment Options
Every full-mouth reconstruction is individually tailored to your specific needs. As a result, no two reconstructions are exactly the same. When you meet Dr. McCraw for a consultation, he’ll examine your entire mouth and work together with you to develop a treatment plan.
Some of the procedures that may be included in a full-mouth reconstruction are:
- Dental Implants — If you have missing teeth, dental implants are the only permanent solution. They’re natural-looking, can restore up to a full arch of missing teeth, and stimulate your jaw to prevent bone loss.
- Dental Crowns — When you have a tooth or multiple teeth that are severely damaged or worn-down, a dental crown is the most likely solution. Our crowns are made from durable, tooth-colored porcelain and customized to blend in with your smile.
- Porcelain Veneers — Veneers are a versatile cosmetic treatment that can be used to eliminate cracked, chipped, stained, misshapen, or gapped teeth. The procedure is minimally-invasive and the results will look stunning.
- Teeth Whitening — If stained or discolored teeth are hurting your smile, we can make it several shades brighter in just an hour with in-office teeth whitening. Alternatively, you can whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home with our customized trays.
- Gum Disease Treatment — We offer multiple solutions for gum disease depending on the severity of your infection. If your case is mild, we can typically restore your gums with scaling and root planing. Once your infection reaches the periodontitis stage, we’ll use our advanced dental laser. Laser gum treatment doesn’t require a scalpel or stitches, allowing you to recover quickly with no pain or bleeding.
There are several options in addition to the treatments above that can be used for full-mouth reconstruction. No matter your needs, Dr. McCraw will develop an ideal plan that delivers the outcome you expect for your smile.
