The Full-Mouth Restoration Treatment Process
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Preparatory Procedures
Depending on your individual case, your dentist may recommend preparatory procedures such as periodontal therapy, tooth extractions, or bone grafting to ensure the success of your restoration.
Restorative and Cosmetic Treatments
Your full-mouth restoration may include a combination of restorative and cosmetic treatments, such as dental crowns, implants, bridges, veneers, or dentures, to achieve optimal results.
Reconstructive Dentistry Options
Dental Crowns, Inlays & Onlays
Dental crowns, inlays, and onlays are custom-made restorations that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their strength, shape, and appearance. Using our digital technology, we provide the strongest yet most conservative porcelain restorations using our CEREC machine. We strive to retain as much healthy tooth structure as possible; as our doctors say, "The tooth tells me what needs to be done." Inlays and onlays are like a puzzle piece of porcelain, stronger than a filling but more conservative than a full-coverage crown, and our digital technology allows us to craft these restorations with precision and efficiency, for a perfect fit and lasting protection.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. These small, titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong, stable foundation for custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Implant Restorations
Implant restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, are custom-designed to attach to dental implants for a fully functional replacement for missing teeth. These restorations are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability and aesthetics. At Fulbright Dental, our cosmetic dental experts excel and specialize at crafting beautiful and natural-looking restorations, including implant crowns for front teeth, so you can feel good and smile bright.
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace multiple missing teeth. Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, while partial dentures fill in gaps between remaining natural teeth. Modern dentures are designed for improved comfort, fit, and appearance.
