What Treatments Are Involved With Full Mouth Reconstruction?

In this video, Dr. Rameek McNair outlines full mouth reconstruction methods, including implant-supported dentures and the roundhouse bridge.

There are several methods available for full mouth reconstruction, each designed to cater to different needs and preferences:

Implant-Supported Dentures: This method involves placing several implants that allow a denture to snap into place securely, providing excellent retention. This option is particularly beneficial for those who need reliable stability in their dentures to improve function.

Fixed on Six: This approach utilizes six implants to support a fixed prosthetic, typically made of porcelain, which looks and feels like natural teeth. While these are permanently placed, they are designed to be removable for cleaning and maintenance. This method offers a balance between a traditional denture and a permanent solution, providing more space for the tongue and less bulkiness than standard dentures.

Roundhouse: This is a permanent solution where multiple implants are placed to support a fixed dental prosthesis, commonly referred to as a roundhouse. Unlike the previous options, this prosthetic is not designed to be removed. It provides a permanent dentition solution, restoring the mouth to the closest possible state to having natural teeth. This option is ideal for those seeking a permanent, non-removable solution and is suitable even for patients with minimal bone.

These innovative dental reconstruction techniques have revolutionized dentistry, providing life-changing results. For many dental professionals, offering these permanent solutions is among the most fulfilling aspects of their practice, significantly enhancing the quality of life for their patients.
