Bone-mounted dental arch veneers and methods for fabricating and utilizing the same

A bone-secured dental arch veneer that is configured to provide a desired oral appearance to a user's mouth and to be temporarily installed in the user's mouth, the dental arch veneer comprising:

• a bone mount that includes a plurality of bone screws configured to be anchored in one or more of a buccal bone surface and a labial bone surface of a mandible or a maxilla of the user's mouth;
• a veneer assembly configured to be temporarily installed in the user's mouth by connection to the bone mount;
• and
• a coupling structure that is configured to interconnect the veneer assembly to the bone mount;
• wherein the coupling structure is configured to extend gingivally of the veneer assembly and within a vestibule of the user's mouth to interconnect the veneer assembly with the bone mount;
• wherein the coupling structure and the bone mount further are configured to support the veneer assembly spaced-apart from a corresponding dental arch of the user's mouth to permit the veneer assembly to be selectively and repeatedly interconnected with and disconnected from the bone mount without damaging the dental arch veneer;
• wherein the veneer assembly comprises:
• a plurality of tooth veneers;
• a support structure that is operatively coupled to the plurality of tooth veneers and configured to support the plurality of tooth veneers within the user's mouth;
• wherein the support structure includes a plurality of adjustable support structure portions from which the coupling structure extends to interconnect the veneer assembly to the plurality of bone screws;
• and further wherein one or more of the plurality of tooth veneers extends from each of the adjustable support structure portions;
• a central veneer portion from which a subset of the plurality of tooth veneers extends;
• and
• an adjustment mechanism that forms a portion of the support structure and which is configured to adjustably couple the central veneer portion to the plurality of adjustable support structure portions to permit selective adjustment of an arch-span of the dental arch veneer;
• wherein the adjustment includes expansion or contraction of the arch-span of the dental arch veneer;
• and responsive to the adjustment, the subset of the plurality of tooth veneers that extends from the central veneer portion are shifted relative to the one or more tooth veneers that extend from the adjustable support structure portions.
