At Fountain Valley Dental, we understand that issues such as extensive tooth decay, missing teeth, and a misaligned bite can cause considerable physical and emotional stress. We have also seen the repercussions of postponing professional dental care, and we never want to see anyone neglect their teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
If you’ve been considering getting dental reconstruction in Molalla, OR, your mouth is in our practice’s highly experienced and kind hands. As a full-mouth reconstruction specialist, our dentist, Dr. Benjamin Whitted, has extensive surgical skills and an excellent chairside manner. We know the process may feel daunting, but our team strives to make your journey to renewed oral function a pleasant, affordable, and life-changing experience!
Without proper oral hygiene and professional dental care, bad bacteria in your mouth can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. In advanced stages of gum disease, oral bacteria can infiltrate your bloodstream, leading to systemic infections. In addition to being the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, gum disease is associated with worsening symptoms in people with diabetes, respiratory disease, and heart disease.
An overbite, underbite, crowding, or crooked teeth may make you feel too self-conscious to smile. Still, misalignment can also increase your risk of gum disease, cavities, and painful TMJ-related symptoms. With full-mouth reconstruction in Molalla, OR, and your choice of sedation dentistry administered by our caring team, dental issues won’t get the chance to take a bite out of your smile and life!
Damaged or decayed teeth can make it difficult to eat or speak comfortably and cause you to feel self-conscious about the appearance of your smile. At Fountain Valley Dental, we recommend crowns after a root canal, when old fillings cover about two-thirds of the tooth surface, or new decay or damage is too large to repair with a filling. If you have missing teeth, the empty gap can negatively impact the health of your remaining teeth, gums, and underlying bone.
A dental bridge, consisting of a false tooth in the center supported by two crowned teeth on each side, restores proper chewing and prevents drifting of adjacent teeth. We also offer implant-retained bridges for two or more missing teeth that eliminate the need to modify and crown two healthy supporting teeth and better preserve your underlying bone.
With the iTero Element™ scanner, Dr. Whitted takes a highly detailed image of your teeth and bite that he sends to the Invisalign lab to create smooth, BPA-free plastic aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth. To move your teeth gently and incrementally into their desired position, it’s necessary to wear your custom-made aligner trays for 20–22 hours each day.
Invisalign aligners are discreet and removable for eating and brushing, making oral hygiene and eating far easier than metal braces! Treatment typically takes 12–18 months, after which you’ll need to wear a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves and improves your bone health. Dental implants consist of a screw-like implant post, an abutment that attaches to the implant post, and a crown, bridge, or full-arch denture.
The implant post is inserted into your jawbone using advanced computer-guided surgery, assuming the role of your natural tooth root after it fully fuses. Dental implants from the Fountain Valley Dental team offer unsurpassed natural-looking aesthetics, durability, and versatility!
If you’re struggling with tooth loss, we offer several options, including conventional full and partial dentures and fixed and removable implant-supported prostheses. Full dentures consist of color-matched prosthetic false teeth placed into a gum-colored acrylic base that needs to be removed nightly and cleaned.
If you’re missing just a few teeth, a partial denture may be an ideal solution to fill in these gaps. A partial features the same false teeth as a complete denture, but the prosthetic attaches to your natural teeth with discreet metal or acrylic clasps.
Whether you need a failing tooth extracted in preparation for dental implants or have an impacted wisdom tooth, we offer gentle tooth extraction in Molalla, OR. Dr. Whitted is also skilled in all preliminary implant procedures, including bone grafting and sinus lifts. Being able to access oral surgery and soothing sedation under one roof provides continuity of care, exceptional quality control, and convenience for a seamless and satisfying experience!
