Full Mouth Rehabilitation
At Dental Care on Golf Links, we strive to offer the best dentistry in a calm and comfortable environment. For optimal results that not only look and feel fantastic, but are durable and long-lasting, we often use the process described here. Whether we are altering the appearance of your front teeth with veneers, or rehabilitating your smile after years of tooth wear and/or tooth loss, this process doesn’t vary much: -
- Diagnostic models/photos: We take impressions of your upper and lower teeth, models are poured and mounted on an articulator. These models are then evaluated by both the dentist and a lab technician. A series of photographs are also taken during this appointment and are evaluated to help position the teeth ideally for optimal aesthetic effect.
- Diagnostic wax-up: A lab tech does a wax up or “mock-up” to create the desired outcome. This work helps us to:
- Determine if preliminary treatment like orthodontics is necessary before we work on restoring your teeth.
- Test-drive the appearance of the proposed treatment in your mouth before moving forward with your treatment.
- Create a model from which we can fabricate temporary crowns/veneers
- Preparation and temporization: Your new teeth are prepared and you will wear temporary crowns/veneers for a period before we bond in the final restorations. This allows us not only to test-drive and ensure you are happy with the appearance of your smile, but also to know that the teeth are well-designed to fit and function in your mouth. In this way, we avoid future complications such as chipping and fracturing of the final restorations.
- We try your final restorations in your mouth, and evaluate them for proper fit and desired esthetic outcome. Finally we bond them into place, and finish your treatment.
