Technological advancements in Dental Implants are very exciting. As we know there is really nothing that makes an impression or speaks about a person more than a smile.

Dental implants have been around a long time, and they are essentially root replacements for restorations of teeth. They can be utilized to replace a single missing tooth, replace numbers of missing teeth, and they can support a whole dentition of teeth. 

There are numerous situations that are appropriate for dental implants. In the  past dentists have had to invade the structures of the other teeth. Implants are great because that no longer needs to be done. So single or multiple teeth can be replaced, or for people wearing dentures, the dentures can be stabilized. Even better, denture wearers can now receive fixed teeth.

The technology is also improving over time. With the newest and latest technology, prosthodontists can place more implants in a mouth, the healing time is shorter and the implants last longer. So the improvements to the technology are really three-fold.

Dental patients with who are seeking aesthetic improvements to their teeth should see a prosthodontist for implants because they really are the specialist in replacing teeth. Prosthodontists have more education after dental school. Prosthodontists are the primary architects for full mouth reconstruction and aesthetic situations.

There is no tool in business that is more important than your smile.

Full Mouth Reconstruction is the process of rebuilding and/or restoring all of the teeth in your upper and lower jaw. It could involve many methods of dentistry to create the correct relationship between your gums, bones, muscles, and teeth. Your mouth is very complex; without the proper bite, chewing becomes an issue, teeth can become worn, the jaw can become sore, often migraines start. Veneers and crowns, dental implants, bridges and teeth whitening are all potential procedures used in a full mouth reconstruction. The results are a perfect smile every time.

Missing or crowded teeth, injured or fractured teeth, poor dental care, age, severely worn teeth, or the need to adjust the bite – all can contribute to this condition. When your teeth are out of ideal alignment, each time your jaw closes, your mouth, jaw and muscles are damaged. Tooth issues and pain in your jaw, neck and head often occur as a result. With full mouth reconstruction, these problems are addressed and patients find relief, improved function and better oral health. But also, they get a beautiful smile and a more youthful appearance.

With full-mouth reconstruction the entire mouth is beautified with a more comfortable bite and less tension in the jaw and neck.

If you have a bad bite, or if you have worn, broken, decayed or missing teeth, not only are you most likely uncomfortable, but your smile is holding you back as well. Dr. Ryne Johnson does very sophisticated work and has performed full mouth reconstruction multiple times for a whole spectrum of needs.

Most importantly, with full mouth reconstruction, the relationship between all the facets of your jaw and mouth will be ideal; therefore, your discomfort will disappear. But just as important, a new smile will boost your self confidence in your interactions with others; this will be what truly changes your life.
