“Being A Toothless Waitress Was So Embarrassing…!“
Whether you have failing or missing teeth due to trauma, gum disease, infections, decay, or long-term wear and tear, this can affect your oral health and quality of life. Significant tooth wear can lead to hypersensitivity, uncomfortable bite changes, functional impairments, pain related to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and compromised aesthetics.
Due to ongoing advancements in restorative and implant technology, far more options are available today if you have failing or missing teeth. From minor treatment to complex procedures, our skilled dentist, Dr. Tyler Bond, is dedicated to helping you regain good oral health with full mouth reconstruction in Missoula, MT, customized to fit your unique needs!
Full mouth restoration in Missoula, MT, involves restoring or replacing all or most of your teeth to achieve full function and a comfortable bite. Although the primary goal is improving oral health and dental function, many procedures also enhance your smile appearance.
At Big Sky Smiles & Sedation, Dr. Bond combines restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry expertise and advanced techniques to deliver exceptional dental reconstruction results. Full mouth reconstruction is typically performed in phases to make your mouth and budget easier. We offer a five-year warranty on all full-mouth restorations if you keep all your hygiene appointments.
A dental crown is permanently placed over damaged, decayed, worn-down teeth or those with failing fillings. Crowns are also used to protect the weakened tooth structure after a root canal.
Bridges require dental crowns on adjacent teeth on each side to support the false tooth in the empty socket. Impressions are taken to fabricate a temporary composite crown in-house, placed during your first visit, and then sent to a dental lab to create your permanent crown or bridge.
Occlusal or bite adjustment is a dental procedure that improves how teeth come together when biting or chewing. This procedure is often required after getting a dental crown or bridge because an interference or high point is created after cementing the restoration. A simple occlusal adjustment involves biting down on a thin, dark piece of paper, then carefully and incrementally reshaping the tooth until the interference is removed.
If you have teeth that are too severely decayed, damaged, or diseased to restore with crowns, dental implants offer unparalleled durability, versatility, and longevity. After fusing with your underlying bone, implants assume the role of your missing tooth roots, thereby preventing bone loss and undesirable changes to your facial structure. Dental implants restore nearly 100% of oral function and are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth so you can feel confident smiling, eating, and speaking!
Although dental implants have a success rate of 95–98%, failure can occur due to lifestyle factors (poor oral hygiene and smoking), systemic diseases, inadequate bone quantity and quality, and an inexperienced implant dentist.
Just as gum disease can lead to bone and tooth loss, a progressive inflammatory condition called peri-implant disease can threaten the integrity of dental implants. Dr. Bond has a highly successful track record of placing dental implants and rescuing failing implants with gentle lasers rather than invasive surgery.
During his military career, Dr. Bond gained invaluable oral surgery experience, completing numerous rotations and externships with oral surgeons. In addition to extensive experience performing wisdom tooth extractions, he is skilled in various bone augmentation techniques. Sinus lift surgery involves transplanting bone tissue to lift sinus membranes and create space for the placement of dental implants in the upper jaw.
Ridge augmentation surgery may be necessary if you’ve lost significant bone in the alveolar ridge, the part of your jawbone surrounding your tooth roots. Bone grafting involves using different types of grafting materials, such as natural or synthetic bone, to promote bone growth and regeneration before getting dental implants.
At your first consultation, Dr. Bond will discuss your current oral health issues and smile goals, perform an oral exam, and take digital X-rays to make an accurate diagnosis. Our team values your informed decision, so we spend a lot of time answering questions and explaining all your options and the steps and costs involved.
Dr. Bond carefully considers your smile, bite, speech, facial support, and jaw joint health to create an optimal treatment plan and deliver natural-looking results with superb longevity. Whether you’re suffering from tooth loss, failing fillings or implants, jaw pain, or gum disease, Dr. Bond has the skills and technology to end your pain and restore your oral health, dental function, and smile aesthetics with dental reconstruction in Missoula, MT!
