Have you ever been told that your smile is beyond repair? That may not be true. At Turlock Dental Care we perform dental miracles every day. Here are some tough dental problems we routinely solve: Tough Problem 1: Insufficient Bone for Dental Implant Solution: Bone Grafting As a replacement for a missing tooth, a dental implant has many advantages over a dental bridge. However, there must be enough bone to support the titanium post (screw) that is surgically implanted. Many implant patients require some level of bone grafting and the procedure has a high success rate. Disinfected, processed donor bone is inserted at the implant location where the bone needs structural augmentation. The grafting material is in granular form and can be packed into contours. It generates growth, and eventually the patient's newly-produced bone replaces the donor bone material. If you have had another dentist tell you that you don't have enough bone to place an implant post, talk to Doctor McCulla. The team at Turlock Dental Care has completed many bone grafting procedures for dental implant placement. Tough Problem 2: Severe Tooth Loss Solution: Full Mouth Restoration If it feels like your dental problems are beyond repair because you have few or no teeth left, take heart. Regardless of the cause—chemotherapy, recreational drug use, eating disorder, severe mouth injury, disability, inadequate oral hygiene, or simply poor overall health—there is hope. Full mouth reconstruction can restore your previously healthy, nice smile or give you the stunning smile you never had. Patients who undergo full mouth reconstruction regain their confidence to smile, eat, and speak normally. Full mouth restoration is comprised of a combination of dental procedures as necessary according to the patient's particular situation. These can include dental implants, implant-supported bridges, orthodontia, crowns, inlays/onlays, dental bonding, gum contouring, soft tissue grafts, and teeth whitening. By listening carefully, asking the right questions, communicating clearly, and counseling you, Doctor McCulla can fully analyze your seemingly impossible dental dilemma and furnish a solution.
