Understanding The Importance of Sedation Dentistry

Hey, my name is Shelly Katalgo. My love for sedation dentistry started in high school. My best friend had a severe fear of going to the dentist and I wanted to help her feel better about it. Although I always enjoyed my dental visits, I felt bad that she struggled so much with going to hers. My parents taught me about sedation dentistry and I instantly dreamed of becoming a dental professional. I wanted to help kids like my friend stay fear free throughout their appointments by using gentle techniques and professional medications. Although I opted to follow a different career path, my passion for dentistry remained throughout the years. I will update my site with developments in this industry as soon as they are reported. I will also discuss the benefits of sedation dentistry in detail. Thanks for visiting. I hope you come back soon.

Types And Benefits Of Full Arch Rehabilitation

Franklin Steward

Full arch rehabilitation is a complex dental procedure to help restore optimal functioning and enhance the appearance of your top and bottom arches of teeth. The procedure involves the placement of dental implants, partials or bridges, and dental crowns. It is performed for people with missing teeth as a result of traumatic injuries, periodontal disease, and dental decay. Here are a couple of different full arch rehabilitation types and some benefits they can provide.

Types Of Full Arch Rehabilitation

Depending on the condition of your teeth and gums, your dentist will either perform a removable full arch dental procedure or an implant-supported procedure. The implant-supported full arch rehabilitation procedure uses dental implants. The metal implant rods will support your replacement teeth, and after the rods have been surgically implanted into your jawbone, your dentist will attach the crowns to them. Full arch dental rehabilitation will restore optimal chewing function and will also result in a natural-looking beautiful smile.

Another type of full arch dental rehabilitation is the removable full arch procedure. Instead of using dental implants, bridges, and crowns, this type of arch rehabilitation relies on the use of removable appliances such as dentures to replace the arches of your missing teeth. Your dentist may recommend a removable full arch solution if you have jawbone problems such as bone loss or decreased bone density in your jaw. You can remove your dental appliances for cleaning, and the color of the restorations can be individualized to match the natural teeth that are still intact.

Benefits Of Full Arch Rehabilitation

Full arch rehabilitation provides a number of benefits, including improving your appearance, correcting an irregular or abnormal bite, reducing your risk for periodontal disease, and improving the overall function of your oral cavity.

Your ability to chew your food may also be restored, which can help lower your choking risk. People with many missing teeth often swallow large pieces of food before they are masticated, resulting in food getting stuck in the throat or even aspirated into the airway. In addition to enhancing the beauty of your smile, your full arch dental procedure may also help enhance the appearance of your facial structure. Missing teeth can cause your face to look "collapsed" or otherwise sunken in, and this can add years to your appearance.

To learn more about the types and benefits of full arch rehabilitation, schedule an appointment with your dentist.
