At Heflin Family Dentistry, it’s our firm belief that everyone deserves to have a healthy, beautiful smile they can be confident about. We recognize that some patients face unique circumstances and are often presented with the challenge of finding a trusted cosmetic dentist in Albuquerque who can carefully and accurately reconstruct their smile. In dedicating ourselves to providing the highest quality care, we’ve also been successful in offering patients full mouth reconstruction and rehabilitation services, so that they can smile beautifully and with confidence once again!

Reconstruction & Rehabilitation: Defined

In dentistry, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and restoration are terms used to describe the process of rebuilding or restoring teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. Similar to cosmetic dentistry, full mouth reconstruction and rehabilitation allows patients the opportunity to enhance their smile and restore multiple aspects of it, such as functionality, oral health, strength, and more. This type of procedure addresses the mouth and oral structure in its entirety, taking into careful consideration a patient’s ability to chew, speak, smile, joint health, and longevity of results. The outcome is more than just a beautiful smile, it’s improved health, function, and beauty of the mouth!

Everyone’s mouth and oral history are different, and only one of our Albuquerque dentists can determine whether you are a qualified candidate for these types of treatments, however, you may consider full mouth reconstruction and rehabilitation if you:

  • Lost teeth from decay or trauma
  • Injured or fractured your teeth
  • Worn down your teeth from acid-erosion or grinding
  • Experience ongoing headaches or pain in jaw or facial muscles

A Trusted Approach

In choosing Heflin Family Dentistry, you’ve also chosen the best cosmetic dentist in Albuquerque, and here’s why: reconstruction and rehabilitation involve a multitude of dental specialists, such as general and restorative dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons, and endodontists, but our own Dr. Tom Heflin specializes in all areas of dentistry, meaning you have the luxury of multiple doctors and services in one, comprehensive practice! In an initial consultation, Dr. Heflin will examine your mouth and the extent of the following conditions to determine the best treatment options:

Teeth

The condition of your teeth, including decay, tooth wear, movement, and more, will give insight as to what procedures may work best to restore them, including veneers, full-coverage crowns, implants, etc.

 

Periodontal Tissues

To ensure your newly restored teeth are secured in a strong foundation, the state of your gums will need to be assessed and if necessary, addressed through scaling, root planing, or other treatments to treat periodontal disease.

 

Occlusion, and Jaw Joints and Muscles

Before restorative procedures, occlusions may need to be corrected to ensure a stable bite that does not cause pain or destruction to your restored teeth.

 

Esthetics

The color, shape, and size of your original teeth will be noted so that your new teeth can reflect these properties and to ensure your smile is as natural and comfortable as possible.

Once required medical records are obtained and the results of your exam are finalized, Dr. Heflin will construct an individualized treatment plan, unique to your condition and desired results. He’ll then discuss what each procedure will entail, the recovery process, and what measures you’ll need to take to ensure the longevity of your newly restored smile.
