Full Mouth Reconstruction

It can seem extremely intimidating to know that you may need a variety of different dental cosmetic treatments to achieve the smile you dream of. And perhaps, visiting the dentist may not be your favorite activity in the world. This may keep you away from a full mouth reconstruction. However, finding the right dentist for you can ease away your anxiety along with the stresses of visiting the dentist.

Once you’ve narrowed down your search for the perfect dentist, it will be time to sit down and have a consultation. A consultation is very important, as this careful planning session will determine and identify your needs as the patient and the treatment options the dentist may recommend for reaching your aesthetic goals. It can be extremely beneficial to bring in a photo or two of a celebrity smile that you love so as to give the dentist an idea of what you like and what can be achieved with your look.

A full mouth reconstruction is done to completely revamp and rebuild a smile with a variety of treatments to achieve the desired look. This form of treatment will involve more than one dental cosmetic procedure to address a multitude of issues that can be present in your mouth. This whole procedure is done to ensure the aesthetics, functionality, and health of the mouth are all upgraded and renewed. This form of procedure will likely be recommended for patients who have a multitude of issues with their mouth such as periodontal (gum) disease, missing teeth, misaligned bite, old dental work, bruxism (grinding teeth), or TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder).

It’s necessary to find a dentist or team of dentists who can offer a combined effort of both aesthetic and functional upgrades, all while improving the health of the mouth. The first step is for your dentist to put together a full treatment plan.

Different Procedures that Make Up Full Mouth Reconstruction

There are many different variations of cosmetic dentistry procedures that can repair issues in your mouth. Check out the list below for a small amount of what can be done to adjust the issues in your mouth. An endless amount of combinations can be put together to renew your smile to give you a stunning look you’ve always wanted.

 

Orthodontics

Patients who are tired of their misaligned, separated, or crowded teeth can benefit from braces or Invisalign. There are different options for braces currently available, including the traditional bracket and wire procedure and Invisalign. Braces can not only align crooked teeth, but they can also aid with patients who have symptoms of TMJ or sleep apnea. This can widen the roof of the mouth by allowing more room for airflow. Braces are becoming increasingly popular for adults as well, as they are a permanent solution for getting straighter teeth.

 

Periodontal Care

No dentist should start dental cosmetic care on a patient if he or she has active periodontal disease. Periodontal gum disease is when the bone support and gum tissue is lost around the teeth. If this is not taken care of, the patient’s gums will start to detach from the teeth and create empty pockets between them. These pockets can store bacteria and lead to potential infections. If the gum disease isn’t treated, eventual tooth loss could be the result. This disease should be dealt with before any restorative option can proceed. The health of your mouth depends on it.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the #1 recommended tooth replacement option for patients with missing teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium posts that are implanted directly into the patient’s jaw to provide a strong foundation to hold replacement teeth. This procedure not only provides the aesthetics of a natural tooth (by topping it off with a dental crown) but also the function and strength of a natural tooth as well. It is the only restorative option that is good for your teeth and jaw alike. When a tooth is missing, the jawbone beneath it will start to deteriorate as the bite pressure applied isn’t strengthening the bone beneath. This is a great way to replace a missing tooth or at least give it an anchor for a dental bridge for multiple missing teeth.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown can be used for a multitude of reasons. If a tooth’s pulp is infected (the inner nerves of a tooth), root canal therapy can be performed. This procedure involves the removal of the tooth’s pulp to save the outer shell of the tooth. Once the tooth is empty, it will be filled with a composite resin and capped with a dental crown for an added layer of protection and to keep further bacteria away. A dental crown can also be used to cover teeth that have extreme cracks, chips, or even major discoloration.

 

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to “bridge the gap” between teeth. When there is a tooth missing, a great way to “replace” it is by using a dental bridge. This dental appliance is created with two anchors on the sides that slide over the natural teeth that surround the missing one. These anchors are created in the forms of dental crowns. The tooth replacement restoration sits in the middle and is held in place by the two teeth on the side. This procedure can also be done to teeth that only have one tooth anchor on one side as well.

 

Dentures

Dentures are a great way to revamp a patient’s smile who may be missing more than one tooth. Dentures can be done partially or fully depending on how many teeth are missing. They can be created to be removable at night or during oral hygiene routines or can even be made permanent by being bonded to a dental implant! This is an excellent way to have teeth shaped, colored, and sized to fit the exact look you may be aiming for. Dentures are especially common for adults who don’t have strong enough jawbones to withstand multiple dental implants.
