What does full mouth rehabilitation entail?
Every case is different and may include several cosmetic and restorative treatments, such as:
Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores and protects damaged or decayed teeth. Dr. Tomase offers metal-free crowns that can change the shape, size, and color of your teeth. Whether you have cracked, discolored, or worn teeth, a crown is a simple solution to restore appearance and function.
Bridges
A dental bridge replaces missing teeth. Traditional bridges consist of two crowns with an artificial tooth in the center. The crowns fit over the surrounding teeth to stabilize the bridge, while the artificial tooth takes the place of the missing tooth.
Dental implants
A dental implant is a thin titanium post that replaces the natural tooth root. If you have a missing tooth, a dental implant provides a stable foundation for a prosthetic tooth. Dental implants allow replacement teeth to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain coverings that hide chips, cracks, and discoloration in your smile. These porcelain shells are stain-resistant and improve the appearance of your teeth.
Fillings
If you have a cavity, Dr. Tomase will fill it with composite materials to restore and protect the chewing surfaces.
Gum recontouring
Gum recontouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes your gums. Dr. Tomase is an expert in laser dentistry. With an on-site soft tissue laser, he can remove excess gum tissue and minimize the appearance of a “gummy smile.”
