Repairing Your Smile with A Makeover!


Dr. Coulter is your cosmetic dentist in Spokane Valley, WA
Full mouth reconstruction is a term often used to describe the process of restoring all teeth in the mouth.  Full mouth reconstruction can involve general dentists and specialists such as pedondontists (for restoring teeth in young children), periodontists (specializing in gums and dental implant placement), oral surgeons (to remove teeth or place implants), orthodontists who specialize in tooth movement and positioning, and endodontists (specializing in tooth pulp). At Coulter Family Dentistry, our dentists have experience in many types of dental treatment and can care for many of your dental needs in our office.

When is full mouth reconstruction needed?
1 - When teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma.
2 - When teeth have been injured or fractured, or are severely worn due to acid erosion or bruxism (grinding).
3 - In occurrences of jaw, muscle, and headache pain requiring adjustment to occlusion.
 
What type of treatment is needed?
Depending on the extent of decay and oral disease, your dentists at Coulter Family Dentistry will review the problem areas and listen to your priorities for a healthy and beautiful smile. You may need several of the following treatments to restore your oral health:
Before a full mouth reconstruction begins, Dr. Coulter or Dr. van den Hoven will meet with you for a consultation and comprehensive examination to determine the extent of dental decay and to review the treatment options that can correct the problem. To schedule your personalized consultation, call us at (509) 924-1314 today!

Dental Implants - The Art & Science of Dentistry

Dental Implants in Spokane Valley, WA

Implant dentistry merges art and experience with science to create naturally functioning replacement teeth. A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once placed. Implants are made of titanium, which has a special property of fusing to bone. This fusion is called “osseointegration” and is the basis of dental implant success. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. Learn more...

When teeth are lost, the bone that supported those roots is lost too. Placing implants stabilizes this bone, and prevents bone loss. Implants help maintain the jawbone’s shape, and supports the overal facial structure of the skeleton. Dental implants help you eat, chew, talk; all in a completely natural fashion.

At Coulter Family Dentistry in Spokane Valley, WA, our dentists use their extensive restorative experience to not only place the implant in their office, but also work with you to place the restorative crown after the implant site is healed and ready for a natural looking tooth. Dr. Coulter and Dr. van den Hoven also offer a variety of options for sedation dentistry to make the experience of replacing your missing tooth as comfortable as possible. To learn more about our dental implant options and whether they are the right fit for your needs, call us at (509) 924-1314 to schedule your personalized consultation.
