When it comes to restoring your smile, sometimes a single treatment like a filling or a dental crown isn’t enough to get the job done. If you have multiple dental issues affecting multiple teeth, your gums, your bite, or other parts of your smile, a full mouth reconstruction could be the solution you need to regain your confidence and your oral function. Here’s a closer look at some of the treatments that often play a role in this process, so that if you’re on the fence, you can be sure that you’re making the right call.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment process that combines restorative, and often cosmetic dental treatments to rebuild or restore all of the teeth in a person’s smile—or at least those that are compromised. The goal isn’t just to improve how your smile looks, but to also restore comfort to your bite, promote better oral function, and ensure long-term dental health. Because every person’s smile and needs are unique, the full mouth reconstruction process looks different for every patient and is highly personalized.
That said, if you have multiple missing, broken, or severely worn teeth, you might be an excellent candidate for this process! Likewise, if you’re suffering from advanced gum disease that has caused bone loss, ongoing jaw pain or bite misalignment issues, or even extensive decay due to years of poor oral health, you should speak with your dentist about your options.
What Goes into Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Here are a few of the most common procedures that often contribute to full mouth reconstruction:
- Dental implants, used to restore missing teeth by placing titanium posts into the jawbone to act as functional tooth roots.
- Crowns, protective, tooth-looking caps that can restore teeth that have become severely damaged or decayed.
- Veneers, or small, thin porcelain covers that are capable of enhancing the appearance of teeth once bonded to their front surfaces.
- Gum disease treatment, used to combat the damaging effects that the condition can have on gum and bone tissue.
Following full mouth reconstruction, patients often notice dramatic improvement, both in the appearance of their smile as well as its function. But no matter what sort of treatments are part of your personalized plan, know that the end result will inspire confidence!
