What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Over time, factors like wear and tear, trauma, or neglect can diminish your smile. Full mouth reconstruction is the art of restoring that masterpiece, rebuilding it from the foundation up. It involves a combination of restorative dentistry and cosmetic dental procedures.

Why Choose Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Several situations may necessitate a full mouth reconstruction. You might be a candidate if you experience:

• Multiple missing teeth
• Severely damaged or decayed teeth
• Worn-down teeth due to bruxism (teeth grinding)
• Jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
• Congenital dental defects
• Desire for a complete smile makeover

Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

Here are some of the key advantages of a full mouth reconstruction:

• Improved Oral Health: By addressing underlying dental issues like decay, gum disease, and bone loss, a full mouth reconstruction creates a healthier foundation for your smile.
• Enhanced Functionality: Full mouth reconstruction restores the full function of your teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak with clarity and confidence.
• Increased Comfort: TMJ disorders, worn-down teeth, and misaligned bites can cause significant pain and discomfort. Full mouth reconstruction can correct these issues, alleviating pain and improving jaw function.
• Rejuvenated Appearance: Beyond the aesthetic improvements to your teeth, a full mouth reconstruction can also create a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
• Improved Overall Health: By addressing dental issues, full mouth reconstruction can contribute to improved overall well-being and reduce the risk of systemic health problems associated with poor oral hygiene.

Your personalized treatment plan may incorporate one or more of the following procedures:

• Porcelain Veneers: These thin, custom-made shells bond to the front surface of your teeth, correcting imperfections like chips, cracks, discoloration, and minor misalignments.
• Dental Crowns: Dental crowns cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance.
• Dental Bridges: Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
• Dental Implants: These titanium posts act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. They offer a long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
• Dentures: Removable appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, restoring your smile and improving chewing function.
• Orthodontic Devices (Braces/Invisalign): These devices straighten misaligned teeth and correct bite issues, improving function and aesthetics.
