Full Mouth Reconstruction

We all know that the first impression is often the lasting impression. Many people are incredibly self-conscious about their smile which can be due to having discolored, missing, or damaged teeth. In order to correct this problem, many patients are opting to visit their dentists to find out more about the process of full mouth reconstruction.

Full mouth reconstruction is the process of making sure that you feel confident with your smile and your overall dental health. The reconstruction process can include many different procedures but will be tailored to your individual needs.

Many of the processes that your dentist may use are designed to replace or repair the upper and lower teeth. This can include implants, partial dentures, bridges, fillings, teeth whitening, or straightening.
 

Your Dental Health

The single most important factor in maintaining a healthy set of teeth is regular brushing and flossing. Additional care is taken when you visit your dentist for your routine checkups and cleanings. While these processes can help many patients improve or maintain their dental health, it may not be enough for everyone.

When teeth are crooked, damaged, or unevenly spaced, problems can occur. Since abnormal tooth angles that are more difficult to reach, routine dental care may not be enough to adequately clean teeth or damaged surfaces and tooth decay may worsen over time.
 

Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

While many dentists may opt to fix the problems as they occur, a full mouth reconstruction can offer improved morale and quality of life for many patients. A straight and healthy smile often gives patients improved self-esteem and helps them feel more comfortable in public settings.

A complete full mouth reconstruction doesn’t just fix the problems that are there, but also ensures that your dental health is prioritized. After your procedure is complete, you can feel confident that your mouth is healthy and easier to maintain than before. Many patients also become pain-free which allows them to eat and drink the foods that they once enjoyed.

As teeth decay, bone growth in the jawline can be affected. Full mouth reconstruction and dental implants help to stop bone loss and maintain the existing bone. Implants also help to support the jaw by adding additional strength to your current jawline. Replacing lost teeth has also been shown to help with bone growth and regeneration which is an integral part of the dental implant process.

Full mouth reconstruction doesn’t just offer a replacement as treatment. In the case of damaged teeth, many can be restored with fillings and whitening treatments so that the teeth will match each other. Your dentist will do everything they can to save your existing teeth before they opt for extraction and replacement.

Gum disease is another facet that your dentist may explore by offering help using periodontal or laser therapies. These treatments help to replace and restore gums and the underlying bone.
