Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

  • Improving Aesthetics: Many patients seek complete mouth reconstruction to enhance their appearance. Issues like discoloration, wear, and missing teeth may not affect function but can impact how a person looks. Full reconstruction can boost self-esteem and help patients achieve the smile they desire.
  • Dental Issues: Dental decay and disease can also be reasons for reconstruction. While decay can sometimes be treated with less invasive procedures, untreated decay can result in the need for tooth replacement.
  • Gum Problems: Oral health problems, especially gum disease, can also lead to the necessity of complete mouth reconstruction. Gum disease can cause the loss of multiple teeth if not addressed promptly.
  • Trauma: Significant trauma to the teeth may require full mouth reconstruction to restore proper function. Extensive damage like cracking, chipping, and wear can require comprehensive treatment.

Options for Full Mouth Reconstruction Treatment

The process of full mouth reconstruction is customized for each patient depending on their preferences and needs. It may include dental implants, dentures, crowns, inlays, and onlays. Bone grafting may be required for dental implants, and deep cleanings can treat gum disease. Patients with missing teeth may choose a dental bridge, while those with misaligned or discolored front teeth may opt for porcelain veneers.

Surgical procedures to reconstruct the upper and lower jaws

Partial mouth reconstruction, whether focusing on the upper or lower mouth, is a popular option instead of full mouth reconstruction. Treatments for both areas are typically similar, but the Smiland Dental points out that the jawbone in the lower mouth may require bone grafting if it is severely weakened or damaged.

Although less frequent, similar problems can also occur in the upper mouth. In certain situations, rebuilding the jawbone and gums may be necessary to achieve a healthy smile, even without the use of implants in the treatment process.

Complete smile makeovers

Not all full mouth reconstructions are focused solely on functionality. WebMD points out that in addition to improving speech, comfort, and eating, enhancing the appearance of a smile can also boost self-esteem. Some cosmetic procedures included in full mouth reconstructions are tooth replacements, veneers, gum contouring, orthodontics, whitening, and more. Whether someone desires a beautiful smile or functional improvements, a full mouth reconstruction can be a beneficial option that allows patients to incorporate cosmetic treatments to enhance their smiles.
