Dental Implants and Oral rehabilitation
When patients require extensive treatment which involves restoring all teeth of the upper and lower jaws, the treatment is described as full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth reconstruction.
The rehabilitation requires experts from different disciplines to work in coordination with each other to perform their speciality work. Involvement of the Restorative dentist for crowns, bridges, veneers etc, Periodontist for gum health, Endodontist for root canal treatment, Orthodontist for tooth movement, Implantologist for replacing missing teeth with implants and Prosthodontist for adjusting the bite forces is desired for attaining an esthetic and functional result.
Dental Implants
These are titanium tooth supports, which are surgically fixed into the jaw to replace missing teeth. Once embedded into the bone, they serve as supports to the crown and bridge.
This procedure is the best alternative for patients not comfortable with conventional dentures but have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. The advantage of this system is that it does not require reduction of any natural adjacent teeth.
Fixed Bridges
Replacement of Missing Teeth can be done in the following ways
These are tooth replacements taking support from the adjoining natural teeth to replace missing tooth/teeth. The adjoining teeth should be healthy and have a good gum and root support. The fixed bridges are cemented to the tooth and cannot be removed by the patient. There are various types of materials that can be used to make bridges/crowns like ceramic, non-precious metal, precious metal, acrylic, newer composites.
Removable Denture
A denture is a set of removable artificial teeth that rests directly on the gums and may sometimes use support of implants. These may be used to replace one or all missing natural teeth.
