RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY – ORMOND BEACH, FL

How Do I Fix Tooth Decay?

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems in the world. In fact, over 90% of the population will experience at least one at some point in their lifetime. That’s why our method for correcting them is so important, and also why our Ormond Beach restorative dentists have decided to leave traditional amalgam fillings in the past and replace them with the much more beneficial tooth-colored filling.

Tooth-colored fillings are crafted from high-quality composite resin, which can be shaded to match natural enamel exceptionally well for a confident, lifelike outcome. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, this restorative dentistry treatment method is more conservative, meaning that we can preserve more of the patient’s original tooth during the treatment process, and less prone to sensitivity caused by temperature than its predecessor.

How Do I Fix Injured Teeth?

Dental crowns are a highly successful and versatile service for treating teeth that have been damaged in any capacity, including significant decay, severe cracks, gradual wear-and-tear, cosmetic imperfections, and more. This individual restoration is designed to cover the entire white surface of a single tooth, protecting it from further harm and rebuilding its natural shape, strength, and appearance in a more pleasing fashion.

How Do I Replace Missing Teeth?

Rebuilding strong, lifelike dental structure for patients in need is Dr. Nawrocki’s specialty, and we want you to know you are in excellent hands from your very first appointment here at our dental practice. Several choices are available for replacing missing teeth in Ormond Beach, and each has its unique benefits and potential disadvantages, which will depend on your personal preferences and situation. Our tooth replacement options include:

• Dental implants are the clear frontrunner for quality, long-term tooth replacement because of their state-of-the-art structure, valuable health benefits, and impressively lifelike appearance. However, the time commitment and cost associated with them may not be right for every patient.
• Dental bridges can replace consecutive missing teeth in a fixed, sturdy fashion by attaching dental crowns to nearby natural teeth, effectively “anchoring” the new restoration in place within the mouth. However, the chosen teeth will have to be altered to accommodate the bridge, which isn’t ideal for the patient’s overall oral health.
• Full or partial dentures offer reliable, affordable coverage for patients who’ve lost a large amount (or even all) of their natural teeth and need new support to continue eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence. This tried-and-true technique is likely to result in gradual jawbone deterioration over time, though. At Brown & Nawrocki Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer both traditional (removable) and implant dentures for patients in need.

How long does a full mouth reconstruction take?

As you probably assumed, a full mouth reconstruction cannot be completed in just one appointment, but rather it unfolds over the course of several appointments that can take a few months or even close to a year to complete. Because each one is highly individualized, the timeline is different from patient to patient as well. During your initial consultation, Dr. Nawrocki will be able to give you a much more definitive estimate once he has examined your mouth and discussed your goals.

Why should I visit a prosthodontist for a full mouth reconstruction?

In short, a prosthodontist simply has much more experience when it comes to providing full mouth reconstructions compared to a general dentist. Dr. Nawrocki completed years of dedicated training to be able to plan, perform, and properly combine the procedures that go into a full mouth reconstruction, and this is a unique kind of expertise only offered by a highly-skilled prosthodontist.

Will a full mouth reconstruction change my diet?

Yes, a full mouth reconstruction will affect what you’re able to eat, but it will be for the better! Most patients who require this treatment have multiple missing teeth that make it hard for them to eat hearty, nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, and meat. Once your treatment is completed, your teeth and bite will be revitalized, allowing you to enjoy your favorites and broaden your culinary horizons.

Does it hurt to get a full mouth reconstruction?

Fortunately no, as Dr. Nawrocki and our team work hard to prioritize our patients' health, appearance, and comfort through the whole process. People wouldn’t undergo multiple procedures if they were in pain the whole time! With that being said, a patient will likely experience some slight soreness and tenderness following some treatments, but this will be short-lived and easily managed with OTC medication. In general, we do everything we can to make a full mouth reconstruction as easy as possible every time you’re in the chair.
