Full Mouth Reconstruction: Understanding the Benefits, Candidacy, and Procedure

Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction can reverse the effects of years or even decades of poor oral hygiene. Patients who undergo this treatment at our practice can enjoy these benefits:

• Reduced surgery and recovery time: By combining multiple treatments into one plan, you can save time and money. Rather than having to recover from each procedure one at a time, full mouth reconstruction allows you to recover from multiple treatments at once, saving you from unnecessary discomfort.
• Improved bite alignment: Dental problems can make chewing uncomfortable or even painful. Many patients rely on the healthier side of their mouth when eating. This can cause premature wear. Following full mouth reconstruction, you may notice that your bite is more comfortable, even, and efficient.
• Preservation of natural teeth: Our office offers periodontal care and same-day dental crowns, both of which help preserve your natural teeth. By following proper hygiene after your restorative treatment, you can add years to the life of your smile.
• Attractive smile: Unhealthy teeth are often discolored or show signs of decay. Dental bridges, dental crowns, and dental implants match your surrounding teeth and can help brighten your smile.
• Lower stress and anxiety: Many patients who delay important restorative treatments live with anxiety about their teeth. By treating these problems, you can gain peace of mind knowing you are in good oral health.

Are You a Candidate?

Since full mouth reconstruction involves various forms of oral surgery, patients must be in good oral and overall health before they can become candidates for treatment. The doctor may recommend periodontal care before restorative treatments can begin, for example. 

Candidates interested in undergoing full mouth reconstruction often have:

• Advanced dental decay
• Multiple missing teeth
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Badly worn teeth
• A desire for improved oral health and function

Smoking, the use of blood thinners, and certain medical conditions may postpone your candidacy for this treatment.
