Reconstruction
"Reconstruction" sounds quite ominous doesn't it!
Sometimes, if there are several teeth requiring extensive
treatment or removal, or if there has been excessive tooth wear
(which is becoming MUCH more common today) then
it can be necessary to restore the mouth as "a whole".
This process involves a complete assessment to determine the
current condition of the bite, gums, soft-tissues, jaw-joint and
muscles and, of course, the teeth themselves.
A treatment plan can then be formulated to work to a goal of
rebuilding the mouth so that function, appearance and comfort are
optimal for the individual.
At Apollonia House we are able to offer this type of treatment in
our relaxed and comfortable surroundings and will combine treatment
disciplines that allow us to use, for example, orthodontics,
periodontics, occlusal therapy and implants to achieve the end
result.
Modern materials and techniques (particularly adhesive techniques)
enable teeth to be saved where previously removal may have been the
only option!
