Dental implant procedures transform smiles. As such, they are commonly used in both smile makeovers and mouth reconstruction, at The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City.
Dental implants restore form and function
In other words, tooth implants have beauty and brawn.
The fact that dental implants are both cosmetic and restorative leads us to a question we get asked frequently;
What’s the difference between a makeover and full mouth reconstruction?
Smile makeovers and full reconstruction may include similar procedures. But at the end of the day they are different.
A fundamental difference is the primary goal for each type of treatment. It goes back to beauty and brawn.
A cosmetic smile makeover
With a smile redesign the fundamental objective is to create a perfect, celebrity-caliber smile. The patient may want to realign their teeth into a more aesthetically pleasing configuration. They may want to whiten stained teeth. Repair chipped teeth. Replace old silver fillings.
By definition, a smile makeover transforms your appearance. There are a lot of different options when it comes to a smile makeover. Veneers, for example, are used to mask superficial flaws.
Another major difference comes down to the specific procedures needed to magnify certain aspects of your teeth and smile.
Are dental implants used in smile makeovers? If a smile makeover patient has teeth missing, dental implants provide an ideal restoration.
Complete mouth reconstruction
Reconstructive procedures vary, but the primary goal is to restore missing teeth and natural tooth function.
Patients may have gaps in their smile due to accident or injury. Solutions include root canals, dental implants, or crowns, to name a few. These repair or replace broken and/or missing teeth.
Total mouth reconstruction does provide the added bonus of a more appealing smile, but that’s a secondary benefit.
