Basically, reconstructive dentistry is any restorative dentistry procedure that involves repairing or replacing tissue, bones, or missing or broken or missing teeth.
The types of procedures that are considered reconstructive dentistry include the replacement of old metal fillings, onlays and inlays, dental crown placement, dental bridge placement, TMJ treatment, dental implant restorations, and full mouth reconstruction.
Although a general dentist may perform many of these procedures, you need to discuss your treatment with your dentist beforehand to look at samples of the dentist’s previous full mouth reconstructions and the results if the dentist’s restorative dentistry.
If veneers or bleaching isn’t sufficient, a dental reconstruction will rebuild a smile with bridgework, crowns, and implants.
These procedures are all performed in the dentist’s office under local anesthetic because they are all extensive.
A tooth shaped cap that is known as a porcelain crown is located over a natural tooth to cover it and improve its appearance by restoring its strength, size, and shape. Some of the natural tooth is removed in order to make sufficient room for the crown, which will completely encase the visible portion of the tooth after it is cemented into place.
A crown will cover severely discolored or badly misshapen teeth, hold a dental bridge in place, support and cover a tooth that has a large filling when the isn’t much tooth left, restore a tooth that is severely worn down or already broken, hold together the parts of a cracked tooth, and protect a weak tooth from breaking.
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge is used to close the gap that the missing teeth create. A bridge consists of two crowns for the teeth that are located on both sides of the gap and a false tooth or teeth are located in between them.
The false teeth may be made from porcelain, alloys, gold or any combination of these materials. A dental bridge is supported by implants or by the natural teeth. .
An artificial tooth root that is surgically located in the jawbone as a substitute for a tooth that is missing is known as a dental implant. This implant provides a stable foundation on which the replacement teeth can be securely attached.
Implants have improved the appearance and quality of life for numerous people by restoring the natural structure of the face, which frequently suffers due to teeth that are missing. The result is an improvement in self confidence because the teeth are reliable, safe, and permanent.
The removable full and partial dentures that anchor into implants as well as the bridge work and permanent fixed crowns that are located over the implants, all function, feel, and look just like natural teeth.
Dental problems like worn and damaged teeth affect the alignment of your teeth and detract visually from your mouth. As far as which procedures your general dentist will use to repair worn teeth, it depends on the extent of your teeth’s damage.
Usually, a crown will be located over your damaged tooth to reinforce and strengthen the tooth. A dental bridge can be used to cover a gap if one exists between your natural teeth.
A dental implant can be used if you don’t have a natural tooth to which your dentist can secure a crown. The implant will be located in your jawbone to create a foundation for the crown.
