Transforming lives by rebuilding teeth:
A comprehensive guide to full-mouth rehabilitation
Rehabilitate: To restore something to its former or healthy condition. This is exactly what Beachside Smiles aims to do with full-mouth rehabilitation services. Few treatments are as rewarding to our team as the opportunity to help patients reclaim their quality of life, positive self-image, and overall well-being through a renewed smile.
What if I still have some teeth?
Our Manhattan Beach, California team strives to preserve natural essential teeth. While the term ‘full mouth’ may suggest that all teeth are missing, it is necessary to note that each case and patient behind these treatments is unique. These treatments often involve various services to address each patient’s complex and significant needs. This is what makes rehabilitative dentistry so transformative. Patients who may have struggled with painful, broken, and/or missing teeth can eat all of their favorite foods again. They no longer hide their smile. They have the renewed confidence to speak freely and to laugh without holding back. If you have remaining teeth, we will evaluate them to ensure they are in good condition. No restorative treatment would be complete without a full exam.
What if some of my teeth are damaged?
We have many options to preserve damaged teeth. Depending on the nature of your damage or trauma and the extent of disease or other injury, we may recommend restorations such as fillings for cavities. Crowns are a versatile solution for various issues, ranging from specific types of cracks to extensive decay that may not be suitable for a filling. Crowns are the finishing touch on root canal therapy, which may be the only alternative to extracting or removing a deeply decayed or severely damaged tooth. We can even make crowns in house, thanks to our “same day,” computer-aided service. We have eliminated the need for an outside lab for crowns by designing, making, and placing crowns in just one visit.
What if I already have many gaps in my smile and don’t want dentures?
Today’s dental patient has many options for treatment. First, you do not have to get “traditional” dentures to replace many or all of your teeth. You may benefit from our expertise with dental implants. The implant, functioning like a tooth root, stabilizes the denture attached to it within the jawbone. This design supports the most lifelike appearance, feel in the mouth, and function. Implant-supported teeth are also designed to last a lifetime with good oral hygiene. Additionally, it is crucial to reconsider your overall perception of dentures. The techniques used to plan and design dentures and the materials that make up your prosthetic teeth and gums have advanced to the point where even “conventional” dentures fit well and look like the “real deal.”
Beachside Smiles looks forward to discussing considerations of the many treatments available at our Manhattan Beach, CA office with you. Call us today at (310) 643-6004 with more questions and to schedule a consultation.
