What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction involves a combination of dental treatments designed to rebuild and restore all the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Whether due to trauma, decay, or gum disease, this comprehensive treatment can address a range of dental issues, including:

  • Severely damaged or decayed teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Worn or eroded teeth
  • Bite misalignment
  • Jaw pain or TMJ disorder

Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

  • Restored Function: Full mouth reconstruction allows you to chew, speak, and smile confidently again.
  • Improved Aesthetics: By addressing cosmetic concerns, your smile will look more natural, youthful, and attractive.
  • Enhanced Oral Health: Reconstructive treatment not only improves appearance but also promotes better oral health by replacing damaged teeth and addressing gum disease.

Components of Full Mouth Reconstruction

Dr. Patel will design a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Common procedures involved in full mouth reconstruction include:
1. Dental Implants
For patients with missing teeth, dental implants provide a permanent and secure solution. Implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and topped with crowns to mimic natural teeth in both appearance and function.
2. Dental Crowns
Crowns are used to cover and protect teeth that are damaged or weakened by decay. They restore the shape, size, and strength of your teeth.
3. Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed on the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are ideal for addressing discoloration, chips, or gaps.
4. Bridges and Dentures
For patients with multiple missing teeth, dental bridges or dentures may be recommended as part of the reconstruction process to fill in the gaps and restore function.
5. Orthodontic Treatment
If bite issues or misaligned teeth are part of your dental concerns, orthodontic treatment such as braces or Invisalign may be included to align your teeth properly.
6. Gum Disease Treatment
Healthy gums are essential to the success of full mouth reconstruction. If you suffer from gum disease, periodontal treatments will be necessary to restore gum health.
