Enjoy dental reconstruction with full mouth rehabilitation in Ivins, Utah
No case is too daunting or too complex for Dr. Susan Baker. In her 30-plus years as a dentist, Dr. Susan Baker has acquired and refined numerous advanced capabilities that are not available at other dentists’ offices in Ivins, Utah, and beyond. At Canyon Crossing Dental, serving patients in and around Ivins, St. George, and surrounding areas, we are well-equipped to transform smiles (and lives) with full mouth rehabilitation, reconstruction, and makeover treatments.
Are full mouth rehabilitation services similar from patient to patient?
No two treatments are the same. When showcasing our expertise in a specific procedure or service, such as veneers or crowns, we can share generalizations about what all our patients may experience during treatment. However, by its very nature, full-mouth rehabilitation is the sum of many parts. Those “parts” differ from individual to individual. So, such treatment plans are unique. The services and steps that make up each plan depend on our considering a wide range of factors in partnership with you:
- Health needs, as determined during a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, mouth, and jaws
- Cosmetic preferences discussed with you
- Personal characteristics, for instance, facial features such as the color of the whites of the eyes and skin tone, contribute to the design of dental restorations like crowns and dentures
- Goals isolated by you (a better-looking smile, the ability to chew your favorite sticky or crunchy foods again comfortably)
- Lifestyle, habits, and behaviors; for example, we need to account for chronic conditions such as teeth grinding or challenges to good nutrition and hygiene when developing treatments that are designed to promote a lifetime of oral health and attractive smiles
How do I start the process of creating a dental reconstruction plan with my dentist?
Dr. Baker and our team use advanced technologies to plan and administer the latest treatments safely, comfortably, and successfully. An accurate and complete diagnosis is the foundation for all procedures and plans that effectively treat specific health and cosmetic concerns. These diagnoses and the information behind them are then applied to develop a plan that relieves any symptoms, resolves underlying conditions, and meets patient goals.
What treatments might be included in my full mouth rehabilitation plan?
Your one-of-a-kind plan may eventually include a combination of the following dental services available at our office:
- Fillings, dental crowns, and other restorations to reconstruct portions of deteriorated, broken, and damaged teeth
- Nonsurgical root canal treatment to remove inflamed or infected pulp tissues inside the tooth (may be the only way to avoid extraction)
- Oral surgical procedures, for instance, “simple” extractions of largely intact teeth and extraction surgery to remove impacted wisdom teeth or largely inaccessible teeth
- Dental implant surgery
- Restoration of dental implants with lovely and durable crowns, bridges, and dentures (“overdentures”)
- Precision-fit “conventional” partials and complete dentures
- Therapies to beautify or restore the health of the periodontal tissues (gums) that surround and help to stabilize our teeth
- Cosmetically-driven treatments, ranging from professional in-office and take-home whitening to dental bonding and porcelain veneers
How long does full-mouth rehabilitation take to complete?
The length of a full-mouth rehabilitation process can vary widely depending on the patient’s specific dental needs and the complexity of their case. In general, the entire process can take anywhere from several months to over a year to complete.
Some factors that may affect the duration of full mouth rehabilitation include:
- The number and type of dental procedures needed: A patient may require multiple treatments, such as tooth extractions, dental implants, crowns, or bridges, for a complete restoration.
- Pre-existing oral health conditions: Individuals with underlying issues like gum disease or significant tooth decay may need additional time for treatment before beginning full mouth rehabilitation.
- Healing time: Certain procedures, such as dental implant surgery, require time for healing, and this needs to be taken into consideration as well.
