Full-mouth rehabilitation, also known as full-mouth reconstruction, is a comprehensive and customized dental treatment plan involving restoring or rebuilding the entire dentition, including the upper and lower jaws. It is typically recommended for patients with extensive dental problems or complex oral health issues that affect multiple teeth and the overall function and aesthetics of the mouth.
At Sage Brush Dental Health, the process begins with a thorough evaluation by our dentist. This evaluation may include a comprehensive examination, dental X-rays, impressions, and other diagnostic tests to assess the condition of the teeth, gums, jaw joints, and other oral structures. The dentist will identify any dental issues, such as tooth decay, gum disease, bite problems, missing teeth, or structural abnormalities. Based on the evaluation, the dentist will develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses all dental issues and concerns.

Preservation of Tooth Structure
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are dental restorations used to repair cavities or tooth damage. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, tooth-colored fillings are made from composite resin materials that closely match the tooth’s natural color, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking restoration. At Sage Brush Dental Health, tooth-colored fillings offer functional and aesthetic advantages, providing a reliable and natural-looking solution for restoring tooth decay or damage. Your dentist in Hutchinson, KS, can evaluate your specific dental needs and recommend the most appropriate filling material for your case.
The Procedure for Tooth-Colored Fillings
The dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth to ensure a comfortable procedure. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed using dental instruments or a laser. The tooth is then cleaned and prepared for the filling. The dentist will etch the tooth surface and apply a bonding agent to enhance the adhesion of the filling material. The composite resin material is applied and carefully shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth. Each layer is hardened or cured using a special light. Once the filling is complete, the dentist will smooth and polish the surface to blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth enamel.
Common Uses of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Dental Cavities
Tooth-colored fillings are commonly used to treat dental cavities. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, the composite filling material is applied to fill the cavity and restore the tooth’s shape and function.
Tooth Damage
Tooth Wear
Cosmetic Contouring
