Full Mouth Restoration - Arlington VA Dentist Dr. Matney

What Is Full Mouth Restoration?

Full mouth restoration refers to a comprehensive dental approach that Dr. Matney uses to rebuild or replace most or all of the teeth in a patient’s mouth. Instead of treating one concern at a time, Dr. Matney can treat them all at once. For patients who have widespread dental problems, treatments like replacing missing teeth and treating advanced gum disease can be life-changing.

How Can Full Mouth Restoration Benefit Me?

When you choose full mouth restoration, the main benefit is the time it saves you. Traditionally, a patient would need to undergo years of scattered procedures. But with full mouth restoration, a streamlined plan will have you on your way to having your chewing ability restored, improving the look of your smile, and enjoying better oral health.

What Are the Most Common Restorative Dentistry Procedures?

With full mouth restoration, Dr. Matney will tailor a combination of procedures to your specific needs and smile goals. Any of these restorative dentistry treatments can be considered for your restoration.

Dental implants: Replace missing teeth with permanent restorations.
Dental crowns: Restore and protect teeth that have become damaged or weak.
Fillings: For treating cavities and stopping further tooth decay.
Dental bridges: Fill gaps caused by missing teeth.
Porcelain veneers: Improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, worn down, or have chips in them.
Root canal therapy: Can save infected teeth by removing damaged pulp.
Gum disease treatment: Restores gum health so you can prevent tooth loss and health complications.
Orthodontics and/or bite adjustment: Align your teeth and jaw for better function.

How Long Does Full Mouth Restoration Take?

Your treatment timeline will depend on how severe your dental issues are and which procedures you need. Some patients may need several weeks for their full mouth restoration, while others might take several months or even longer. Healing time is also factored into how long a restoration can take.
