Full Mouth Reconstruction: Restoring Function and Beauty
ProsthodontistsIf you have suffered from years of neglect, severe trauma, or a genetic condition, you might feel like your smile is beyond hope. You may have multiple missing teeth, severe gum disease, and bite issues all at once.
This is where **Full Mouth Reconstruction** comes in. It is not a single procedure, but a customized combination of treatments designed to restore every tooth in your mouth.
Who is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Multiple missing teeth.
- Severely worn teeth (from grinding/bruxism).
- Advanced gum disease causing tooth mobility.
- Severe decay affecting most of your teeth.
- Jaw pain or TMJ disorders.
What Procedures Are Included?
A reconstruction plan is unique to you, but often includes:
- Periodontal therapy to get gums healthy.
- Extractions of hopeless teeth.
- Dental Implants to replace missing roots.
- Crowns and Bridges to restore damaged teeth.
- Veneers to correct aesthetics.
- Orthodontics to align the bite.
The Process
Full mouth reconstruction is a marathon, not a sprint. It often takes months to complete, as different phases (like healing from implants) must happen in order. A prosthodontist will guide you through this journey, ensuring the final result is a healthy, functional, and stunning smile.
