Full Mouth Restoration - What Are Your Treatment Options?

Full mouth reconstruction or full mouth restoration are terms often used to describe the process of restoring all teeth in the mouth.  Full mouth reconstruction can involve general dentists and specialists such as pedondontists (for restoring teeth in young children), periodontists (specializing in gums and dental implant placement), oral surgeons (to remove teeth or place implants), orthodontists who specialize in tooth movement and positioning, and endodontists (specializing in tooth pulp).

When is full mouth reconstruction needed?

1 - When teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma.

2 - When teeth have been injured or fractured, or are severely worn due to acid erosion or bruxism (grinding).

3 - In occurrences of jaw, muscle, and headache pain requiring adjustment to occlusion.

Before a full mouth reconstruction begins, your dentist will meet with you for a consultation and comprehensive examination to determine the extent of dental decay and to review the treatment options that can correct the problem.

Missing Teeth? Restore Your Smile!

Did you know that the average adult between the ages of 20 and 64 is estimated to have three or more decayed or missing teeth? Your dental care and oral health are necessary to maintaining your overall health and wellness. Untreated dental disease in decaying teeth can lead to more serious health issues, including infection or damage to your bones and nerves. If you are missing one or more teeth, or have teeth that need to be removed, there are many ways to restore your oral health and your beautiful smile.

Restore Your Smile Today!

At Huff and Huff Dentistry in Fuquay-Varina, NC we offer dental implants to restore missing teeth and give you a beautiful, natural smile.

Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone through a process called osseointegration. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes. Candidates for dental implants must have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant.

While dental implants may not be for every patient, at Huff and Huff Dentistry we will work with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan to restore your oral health and replace your missing teeth. Whether you need a dental bridge, partial denture, or crown to restore your teeth, the dentists at Huff and Huff will ensure your treatment meets your individual goals.

Healthy Mouths, Healthy Kids!

Age 1 Dental Visit!

In August of 2012, the Ad Council joined with The Partnership for Healthy Mouths, Healthy Lives, a coalition of more than 35 leading dental health organizations, to debut Kids’ Healthy Mouths.

At Huff and Huff Family Dentistry, we recommend children have their first dental visit by age 1 as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and maintain regular 6 month cleaning appointments for exams. Parents and their children can visit 2min2x.org to watch entertaining videos and listen to music, while children are brushing their teeth. Make oral health part of your New Year’s Resolution!

Dental Implants - Merging Art & Science

Dental Implants Guide

Implant dentistry merges art and experience with science to create naturally functioning replacement teeth. A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once placed. Implants are made of titanium, which has a special property of fusing to bone. This fusion is called “osseointegration” and is the basis of dental implant success. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. 

When teeth are lost, the bone that supported those roots is lost too. Placing implants stabilizes this bone, and prevents bone loss. Implants help maintain the jawbone’s shape, and supports the overal facial structure of the skeleton. Dental implants help you eat, chew, talk; all in a completely natural fashion.

The dentists at Huff and Huff Dentistry will assist you in creating a personalized treatment plan to restore the beauty of your smile. Call us today at (919) 346-6866 to reserve your consultation time.

Smile Makeover in 5 Steps!

Improve Your Smile in 5 Ways!

Cosmetic dentistry offers many options for people who are unhappy with their smile. There are five main ways to improve your smile for a natural and beautiful effect. Read on for information about how we can improve your smile at Huff and Huff Dentistry. Click the links below for videos.

1 - Composite bonding: Using tooth colored composite material, your dentist can apply this to the surface of the tooth to repair chipped, broken, discolored, or decayed teeth.

2 - Composite fillings: These fillings are tooth colored and require less tooth removal than traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Many people choose to have their amalgam (silver) fillings replaced with composite for a more natural look.

3 - Dental Veneers: Composite or porcelain veneers are adhesively bonded to the anterior (front) of the tooth to repair chips and cracks, or to correct severe tooth discoloration. 

4 - Teeth Whitening: Our teeth often become stained from smoking, foods, and poor oral hygiene. Using specialized whitening bleach either in the office or a lower-strength product at home, lightening your teeth can take years off your smile.

5 - Smile Makeover: These involved a comprehensive assessment of your oral health and your smile goals to improve your overall appearance. During a smile makeover, several dental procedures may be required to achieve the look you want.

At Huff and Huff Dentistry, our dentists will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan that not only restores your smile, but helps you achieve your cosmetic dental goals! Start the journey to a better smile today by calling us at (919) 346-6866.
