At Denver Restorative Dentistry in Broomfield, Colorado, our prosthodontists are pleased to provide our patients with the latest in technological advances for quality dental restorations and a healthier smile. Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok can give you the dental care you deserve as comfortably as possible with restorations that can last for years to come.

-Cone beam 3D technology (CBCT): This imaging system creates a three-dimensional image reconstruction of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat that allows our doctors to accurately evaluate and diagnose your dental issue and come up with an effective treatment plan. This technology offers a complete image reconstruction, even better than digital X-rays.

-Intraoral camera: This tiny, minimally invasive camera allows us to zoom in on all the various areas of your mouth to take high-definition photos. Easy to maneuver and comfortable for you, an intraoral camera can show our prosthodontists the angles in your mouth that are not normally detectible with the naked eye. This advanced dental tool allows us to precisely assess your dental health while detecting damaged teeth and periodontal disease. We can show you the photos as well as sharing with other dental specialists as needed.

-Dental impressions: Traditional dental impressions can often feel uncomfortable, especially for those with a sensitive gag reflex, but at Denver Restorative Dentistry, our experienced team has the technology to capture accurate impressions of your teeth while ensuring your comfort. While our goal is to take various impressions that will allow us to restore your smile with a crown or dentures, we may use digital impressions to accurately measure your mouth. These are quick, easy and comfortable for you while getting the information we need to create your dental restoration, without using goopy materials to create a mold.

-Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing, or CAD/CAM: This amazing technology helps our prosthodontists and master dental lab technicians create dental restorations using this advanced computer system. Our team can then mill the restoration in our Zirkonzahn 3D milling machine. Whether you need veneers, crowns, bridges or full hybrid arches, this state-of-the-art software and equipment allow us to give you precise and life-like detail.in your dental restoration.

If you are looking for a dental experience that takes your comfort to the next level with the latest technology while restoring your smile, we welcome you to schedule a consultation with our team. Our prosthodontists care about your treatment experience! Call 303-586-1019 to learn more.

Taking good care of your smile means practicing good oral hygiene habits daily and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and exams. This goes a long way to lower your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. However, your mouth is still vulnerable to harm from traumatic injury and disease. For example, certain treatments for oral cancer may mean undergoing a full mouth reconstruction to replace missing teeth along with restoring missing structures of one’s oral cavity.

Our experienced prosthodontists can offer you options allowing you to once again have full functionality of your mouth with beneficial aesthetics so you look (and feel your) best. A full-mouth reconstruction expertly fixes damage to your mouth, including severe decay that leaves you needing to replace multiple teeth or even all of them. This is done carefully, combining esthetics and the science of restorative dentistry to give you your life back with a healthy, beautiful and fully functioning mouth again.

Who Benefits From Full Mouth Reconstruction

If you have multiple missing teeth, teeth with large dental fillings that are now failing or showing further decay, have cracked or broken teeth or badly eroded teeth from habitual bruxism, where you constantly grind your teeth together (typically from stress).

Patients who were born with medical conditions like Ectodermal Dysplasia, Ameliogenesis or Dentinogenisis Imperfecta, often turn to help for extensive restoration of their teeth. A full mouth reconstruction can often give them the smile they need and desire. This might mean using onlays, crowns, bridges, veneers, dental implants, and/or dentures that will give them a “smile makeover” while also enhancing their chewing efficiency.

After a thorough evaluation by our prosthodontists, you might be a good candidate for full-mouth reconstruction to restore your oral health. Damaged teeth, tooth decay, dental infection and periodontal disease (advanced gum disease) may be the reason you may want to look into full mouth reconstruction. View full mouth reconstruction photos from previously satisfied patients.

Complimentary Consultation

Our prosthodontists, Drs. Goggins, Aguirre, Pitz, Poineal and Chertok are experts that have performed many full-mouth reconstructions between them. They know exactly what your smile needs to look and feel great so you can smile with confidence. When you schedule your FREE consultation with our Denver Restorative Dentistry team in Broomfield, Colorado, we will evaluate your smile’s current state and recommend the best treatment to boost your overall smile needs. Whether you need a combination of bridges, crowns, dental implants, veneers, fillings or dentures, we’ve got your smile covered! Call 303-586-1019 today!

Our Denver Restorative Dentistry team in Broomfield, CO, is pleased to offer you the latest in advanced dental technology so you can always be assured that you will receive the highest level of dental care possible in the most comfortable way.

Cone Beam 3D imaging technology: Also called CBCT, this tool is an imaging system that provides our prosthodontists with a three-dimensional image reconstruction of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat. We use it to better diagnose and evaluate your oral issues and to plan effective treatments.

Intraoral Camera: Our intraoral camera gives us a closer look at different areas in your smile. This tool is tiny and easy to maneuver in your mouth while allowing us to see angles that we couldn’t easily view otherwise. It also lets us better diagnose your oral health and pinpoint dental problems, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, cracked or chipped teeth. An additional advantage offered by this camera is that it provides images so you can better understand your oral health and the potential dental treatments. We can even send these images to other dentists and specialists as needed.

Digital Impressions: To make those important impressions of your teeth for various procedures that are most comfortable for you, we are pleased to be able to use digital impressions. Dr. Goggins, Dr. Aguirre, Dr. Pitz and our team are trained to accurately take various kinds of oral impressions so we can make improvements to your mouth. These impressions are quicker, easier, and more comfortable than their traditional counterparts which were way more invasive. Remember, we try to make your experience as comfortable as possible, and this is an invaluable tool that makes this possible. If you have ever gagged while getting impressions and molds made, you know exactly what we mean! This digital impression technology offers these benefits:

-They are great for creating dental restorations like dental crowns.
-There’s no messy “goop” left behind for you to deal with afterward.
-We can take the scanner out immediately, reposition it more comfortably and stop and start as needed.
-They require far less time than traditional impressions to make, helping us to more minimize time spent during your appointment.

Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing:  Also called CAD/CAM, this state-of-the-art software and equipment is awesome for use in restorative treatments, helping our prosthodontists and master dental lab technicians alike. With it, we can design and create restorations like veneers and crowns, full hybrid arches and bridges. It also facilitates planning more precise and effective treatment tailored to your needs.

We welcome you to reach out to our office if you have any questions about the advanced technology we use for your treatments, or if you have concerns about your smile. We look forward to helping you create a stellar smile in 2022!

If you constantly find yourself battling bad breath, you are not alone. Bad breath, or halitosis, can make your life miserable if you are always feeling self-conscious when you are around others. There are a myriad of factors that could be causing your bad breath, and we highly recommend seeing your doctor and our team to root out the source so it can be properly addressed. This is important because there are many factors that could be playing a part.

What Causes Bad Breath?

-Oral bacteria coating the tongue interact with amino acids in the foods you eat, creating odorous sulfur compounds. Brushing your tongue to remove it can lower bad breath by up to 70%.

-The foods you eat, like garlic and onions are also absorbed into the bloodstream where it can affect your breath until the food leaves your body.

-If you don’t clean your teeth, gums and tongue daily, bits of food particles can linger on those surfaces, feeding the oral bacteria. Brushing and flossing every day and getting routine dental exams and cleanings to remove hardened plaque (tartar) help prevent bad breath (and taste) in your mouth.

-If you wear dentures, the same thing can happen if you don’t clean them daily to remove bacteria, fungi, and stray food particles, leaving you with bad breath.

-Gum disease, or more specifically, periodontal disease can be the culprit and will require treatment to eliminate this issue.

-Dry mouth, also known as Xerostomia, is a common culprit of halitosis. Normally, your saliva rinses away oral bacteria and bits of food left behind after chewing. Without proper hydration, your saliva is diluted and ineffective. You can get dry mouth if you take certain medications, breath through your mouth instead of your nose or have a problem with your salivary glands.

-Using tobacco products, whether that is cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco or chewing snuff.

-Certain medical conditions like a respiratory infection, chronic bronchitis, postnasal drip, chronic sinusitis, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or stomach issues can leave your breath smelling and tasting bad.

Call Today!

If you find yourself with chronic bad breath, we can help! Stepping up your daily oral hygiene care along with routine dental cleanings are an important part of prevention and treatment, as well as treating the causes listed above. Our Denver Restorative Dentistry team offers effective halitosis treatment in Broomfield, Colorado.
