Full mouth restoration Gulfport MS often referred to as full mouth rehabilitation or reconstruction, is an extensive dental treatment designed to improve the health, function, and appearance of all teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. This tailored approach combines various restorative and cosmetic procedures, including crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and orthodontics, to tackle issues such as worn or missing teeth and bite misalignments.
Our dedicated team of experts carefully plans the entire process, considering the patient’s main and secondary concerns, expectations, current medical and dental conditions, as well as budget and time limitations. The treatment is carried out by a highly trained group of aesthetic dentists, implant specialists, gum experts, bite professionals, and endodontists, all collaborating seamlessly to ensure the best possible outcome.
The full mouth restoration Gulfport MS treatment is executed with incredible precision, aiming for flawless results that restore normal oral function. This successful long-term outcome stems from thorough planning, simulation, and the careful coordination of all specialists involved in the process.
Diagnostic Casts, Surgical Templates, and Provisionalization
Diagnostic Treatment Planning
To figure out the placement, angle, and shape of the final prosthesis, the process kicks off with a diagnostic wax-up. The complexity of these procedures can range from straightforward cases, like a single missing tooth, to more intricate ones, such as full-mouth rehabilitation.
Partially Edentulous
Diagnostic Wax-Up
After creating duplicate diagnostic casts, they are placed on an articulator, and a diagnostic wax-up is crafted to achieve the desired shape, bite alignment, and aesthetic qualities of the final restoration. It’s crucial to focus on the unique characteristics of each tooth, including their shape, alignment, gum contours, and the spaces between teeth. This wax-up method is particularly beneficial for full-mouth rehabilitations, especially when there’s a need to adjust the vertical dimension.
Completely Edentulous
Requiring No Modification to Existing Prosthesis
In cases where a patient is completely edentulous, replicating their current prosthesis—if it meets both aesthetic and functional standards—can be a useful approach for mounting the diagnostic casts. The easiest way to do this is by using a denture duplicator.
Modification to Existing Prosthesis Is Indicated
If there’s a need to modify the current prosthesis due to changes in appearance or functionality, a standard complete denture setup is the way to go. Once the try-in is approved, the prosthesis can be duplicated to serve as a template for radiographic or surgical purposes.
Surgery of the Anterior Mandible
Before full mouth restoration Gulfport MS procedure, it’s essential to adjust the patient’s occlusion so the restorative dentist can pinpoint where the lower teeth should be positioned. In cases requiring full mouth rehabilitation, the maxillary occlusal plane might need to be reestablished by creating a new temporary prosthesis for the maxillary teeth. If needed, a new maxillary denture will be made. Once the correct position for the maxillary teeth is determined, the placement of the planned mandibular teeth can be anticipated and crafted in the lab, ensuring that the surgical planning aligns with the ideal outcome.
