You can certainly opt for dentures and save some money in the process, but dentures just cannot perform like permanent implants. All-on-4 implants look, feel, and work exactly like your natural teeth, whereas you do not get these benefits with dentures. • All-on-4 implants are better than your traditional implants in many ways. The major difference is that this treatment method uses only 4 implants on each arch. On the other hand, traditional implants use up to 8 implants per arch. Moreover, the procedure involves placing the implants at an angle to ensure better contact – this way your bone will provide the support to these implants.

7. Few Reasons Why People Opt for Dental Bridges • Many people put their money on dental bridges because of aesthetics. By opting for a dental bridge, you will surely be able to fill the available space, but you will also be able to improve the shape and color of teeth around the bridge. Your dentist will use the available space to achieve desired results. • These bridges are made of porcelain that looks good and complements the natural color of your teeth. Moreover, these porcelain bridges are extremely resistant to staining, so you do not have to worry about discoloration.

A bridge in this situation will help strengthen your surrounding teeth and also replace the missing tooth. • Going for dental bridges is a great idea because they are likely to last a long time. They are quite like individual crowns and serve you well. It may take a while to get used to these bridges, but you will eventually feel comfortable. If you pay attention to your oral hygiene, your bridges will keep serving you well for years.

9. Learn about the Types of Dental Implants • Traditional Dental Bridges • These are the most common and popular types of dental bridges. They have one or more fake teeth and require dental crowns to maintain their position. Also called abutments, these bridges are cemented on to the teeth around your missing tooth. You can opt for these types of bridges when your natural teeth around the gap are intact. These bridges are considered quite strong and can replace molars. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that your dentist will remove the enamel of the adjacent teeth to fix the bridge. Those adjacent teeth will also require crowns or else they will develop complications. • Cantilever Bridges • You will also find another type of bridge called cantilever bridges. You can use these to replace your missing teeth. While they are quite the same as the traditional bridges, they do not require support on the adjacent sides of your missing tooth. Your dentist will use an abutment on one side of your missing tooth for support. It means that if you have only one tooth close to the gap, you can still opt for a cantilever bridge. With these bridges, only one tooth needs to be prepared by the dentist.

10. Learn about the Types of Dental Implants • Maryland Bridges • If you are looking for a rather conservative alternative to a traditional bridge, you may consider going for a Maryland bridge. The bridge in this case will stay in place with the help of a pintic that uses a porcelain or metal framework for support. Your dentist will bond the framework on the back of the teeth surrounding the missing tooth. There is no need to file your adjacent teeth when you opt for Maryland bridges. They work quite effectively, but you need to bear in mind that they are not as strong as traditional bridges are. • Implant-Supported Bridges • In case you have multiple teeth missing, you can opt for an implant-supported bridge. What sets these bridges apart from those traditional bridges is that they are supposed by implants. Your dentist is likely to use one implant for every missing tooth and then use these implants to keep a bridge in place. These types of bridges are usually quite secure and comfortable.

11. Things to Know before Going for Full Mouth Restorations • Ask them how your smile will look like after the procedure. Your dentist will help you get a better idea regarding the smile makeover procedure you choose. Keep in mind that full mouth restorations not only affect your teeth but also have a direct impact on your facial structure. Therefore, it is a good idea to ask your dentist to show you some picture evidence to get an idea about how you are going to look after the procedure. You can check some before-after pictures to know what to expect after a procedure. • Ask them about the additional follow-up treatments before going any further. Depending on what procedure you select, you may have to visit your dentist's office a number of times a month for follow-up treatments. With the advancement in technology, certain treatments, such as All-on-Four dental implants require only one day, but some treatments require more care and maintenance. Therefore, you should always discuss pre-procedure and post-procedure maintenance and care to know how to proceed in the right way.

12. Things to Know before Going for Full Mouth Restorations • Be sure to ask about the long-term cost of the procedure. Dental procedures cost a lot, and it is especially true for full mouth restorations. It is a good idea to ask your dentist about any long-term cost of different procedures. Do not just pay attention to the upfront cost of undergoing a procedure, but also know the long-term cost before committing to any given procedure. • Always ask about any negative aspects related to any given procedure. You have to understand that full mouth restorations and procedures like the smile makeover can change your life significantly. While the procedures certainly offer a permanent solution to intractable dental problems, they also demand for some lifestyle changes for better results. Therefore, you should always ask your dentist about any pros and cons of undergoing any particular dental procedure.

13. Questions You Should Ask before Opting for Full Mouth Restorations • How are you going to ensure the best results? • You have to ask this question when you first meet your dentist and show an interest in a full mouth reconstruction. You should ask them about how the procedure is going to change your bite function. It is worth mentioning that many people opt for full mouth restorations when they are already experiencing some bite problems, such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Even if you already have a bite problem, you should still ask your dentist about how they are going to fix it. You should also inquire about the functionality of the treatment and the way your dentist is going to achieve the best results.

Understand that your dentist is not going to deliver maximum satisfaction unless they are experienced and trained to perform the restorative dentistry procedures.

14. Questions You Should Ask before Opting for Full Mouth Restorations • Understand that an experienced dentist can prevent so many issues during the procedure – do not select an inexperienced dentist to save some money. Your dentist should have years of experience, preferably dealing with procedures related to full mouth restorations. You should talk to your dentist and ask them what they know about restorative dentistry procedures and how they are going to handle your case. • Is it possible to talk to an old patient? • You can certainly use the internet and check some review sites to know what other are saying about your selected dentist, but you should not always trust what you read on those sites. The reason is that some dentists can have paid reviews and feedbacks only to mislead you. Therefore, you should definitely use the internet but use it to shortlist some top-rated cosmetic dentists in your area. Then, you should talk to those dentists in person and ask them to share their knowledge. You should ask if you can talk to a previous full mouth restoration patient. You will feel a lot more comfortable after speaking to someone who has undergone the same procedure. They will share their experience, which will help you learn about the quality of the dentist and also make you understand what to expect during the procedure.
