Extreme Dental Makeovers
Extreme dental makeovers involve full mouth reconstructions with dental implants and fixed porcelain bridges. A full mouth reconstruction is very similar to building a highway bridge. The implants act like columns that support the bridge, and the bridges themselves are like the pavement you drive across. This is only a metaphor intended to show how a dental extreme makeover is actually performed in your mouth. The outcome looks much more cosmetic than a bridge in the outside world.
Because the implants provide the actual support in extreme dental makeovers, the distances between teeth determine the number of implant needed. This follows the same principle as bridge construction over rivers. A short span bridge over a small stream may require only two columns on either side. A longer bridge over a 10 lane freeway, however, often needs up to ten supports.
When performing an extreme dental makeover for a patient, the dentist first examines existing natural teeth and measures of the distances between them. These distances are used to determine the number of implants that are needed to support fixed porcelain bridges that are later built between implants and any existing teeth that are capped with porcelain crowns.
The key to extreme dental makeovers is training and knowledge in advanced cosmetic dentistry that helps us understand where implants have to be placed and where bridges have to be built. When there is only a small distance between teeth, we only need build a short span bridge. A longer bridge requires one or more implants. If there is a very long space along the bone with no teeth, and only one or two natural teeth, the dentist may cap these natural teeth and use these as anchor supports for bridges.
The intent in an extreme dental makeover is to make a cosmetically superior outcome from a position of strength and stability. Once enough support is created between implants and natural teeth, the dentist can places all porcelain bridges and crowns. Sometimes people find it very challenging, though, to invest in this complex combination of implants, crowns, and bridgework. For these people, there are many more affordable, temporary options that can be explored. Often, people get the necessary implants to build future supports for bridges, and then they invest in partial dentures that will work as viable tooth replacements while they are saving up money for permanent, more durable tooth replacements.
Extreme dental makeovers offer everyone, regardless of how badly damaged their teeth have become, or how many teeth they have lost, the opportunity to confidently smile with a full set of natural, healthy, and white teeth.
