Full Mouth Restoration
Paradise Valley, AZ
 Tooth loss due to dental decay, trauma, alveolar fractures, wear, periodontal diseases and infection not only produces an empty space in the mouth, but it affects the overall jaw relationship and muscular functions in the oral cavity. The stomatognathic system contains teeth, muscles, bone, soft tissues and TMJ which work in a coordinated way to bring about various functional movements such as chewing, eating, drinking, speaking and laughing every day. Any abnormality involving a single component affects the whole system. Disturbances in the relationship of teeth due to tooth loss affect the aesthetics, occlusion, and bite relationship causing severe discomfort and pain. Dr. Moyer focuses upon full mouth restoration in order to produce a well-balanced occlusion in addition to restoration of facial aesthetics and function of the mouth.
