Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment designed to address worn-down dentition and restore optimal oral health and function.
Indications for this procedure include severe tooth wear, bite problems, or multiple dental issues affecting the entire mouth. The process typically involves a thorough assessment, including diagnostic tests and imaging, to develop a personalized treatment plan. Procedures may include crowns, bridges, dental implants, or other restorative treatments to restore the teeth and supporting structures.
Having a prosthodontist like Dr. Saraa, performing full mouth rehabilitation offers distinct advantages, their meticulous approach ensures precise treatment planning and execution, leading to superior outcomes and improved overall oral health for patients.
Full Arch Fixed Implant Restoration
Implant-supported full arch prosthesis offer a comprehensive solution for completely edentulous patients, providing stability, function, and aesthetics.
Indicated for those missing all teeth in an arch, this treatment involves strategically placing dental implants (usually 4 to 6 implants per arch) along the jawbone. Following implant placement, a full arch prosthesis, such as a Zirconia or Acrylic prosthesis, is securely attached to the implants, restoring the patient’s ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Compared to removable complete dentures, implant-supported prostheses offer numerous advantages, including enhanced stability and comfort, as they are securely anchored in the mouth and do not shift or slip. They also promote better oral health by preserving jawbone density and preventing bone resorption. Additionally, implant-supported prostheses provide a more natural and lifelike appearance, improving overall patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a personalized treatment aimed at enhancing the appearance of a patient’s smile.
The process typically begins with a consultation, where the patient discusses their goals and concerns with the dentist. Next, the dentist performs a comprehensive evaluation of the teeth, gums, and facial features to develop a customized treatment plan. Procedures may include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, or orthodontic treatments to address issues such as misalignment, discoloration, or gaps between teeth.
Having a prosthodontist, like Dr. Saraa performing a smile makeover offers distinct advantages, as these specialists have advanced training and expertise in cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
Overdentures
Implant overdentures are an excellent solution for completely edentulous patients, offering improved stability, function, and comfort compared to traditional removable complete dentures.
Typically indicated for individuals missing all teeth in an arch, this treatment involves placing dental implants (usually 2 to 4 implants per arch) strategically along the jawbone. Following implant placement, a specially designed denture, known as an overdenture, is securely attached to the implants, providing greater retention and support. Unlike traditional dentures, implant overdentures prevent bone resorption by stimulating the jawbone and preserving its structure. They also offer enhanced chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall comfort, as they are securely anchored in the mouth and do not shift or move during use.
One of the advantages of overdentures over fixed implant prosthesis is that patients usually remove them at night for cleaning, while their secure attachment to implants provides superior retention and stability during daily wear. This combination of stability and ease of maintenance makes implant overdentures a popular choice for restoring function and confidence in completely edentulous patients.
