Why Choose a Full Mouth Restoration?
There are a number of reasons you might need a full mouth restoration. Your dental health often follows a genetic pattern. Many patients who suffer from excessive oral health problems can blame genetics.
Full mouth reconstruction may be recommended for a number of reasons, but the following factors require full-mouth treatments:
- Extensive damage to the teeth, mouth or jaw because of an accident or injury
- Missing or damaged teeth, due to serious decay or infection
- Erosion of teeth because of grinding, acid reflux or similar problems
- Chronic pain in the ear, jaw, head or surrounding muscles, typical signs that your bite is causing you problems
Full Mouth Reconstructive Treatments
Every full mouth reconstruction is unique and tailored to your specific needs. Thus, the number of procedures involved can vary from person to person.
Some of the most common treatments involved in a full mouth reconstruction include:
- Orthodontic adjustments to correct placement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and bite
- Periodontal assessment and treatment to ensure that gums are as healthy as they can be
- Bone or soft tissue grafts to give reconstructive work a firm foundation
- Placement of implants to restore tooth loss caused by damage or decay
- Preparation of natural teeth for reconstructive work which may mean filing down existing teeth or performing root canals
- Reconstructive work including cavity fillings, veneers, bridges, and crowns
- Gum contouring or crown lengthening to eliminate a “gummy smile” and produce a more balanced and natural appearance
- Teeth whitening
- Comprehensive tooth cleaning and oral hygiene check
Before beginning any treatments, King Centre Dental will come up with a treatment plan for you during your initial consultation with our Alexandria dentists.
Consultation for Full Mouth Reconstruction
Before we can recommend a full mouth reconstruction, you'll need to schedule a consultation appointment. During this time, we'll assess the extent of dental work needed to restore your smile, while deciding if you're a viable candidate for the procedures.
During this stage, we'll need to fully assess your current teeth, which might include x-rays, CT scans, photographs, and impressions. Then, we can begin creating a treatment plan for your reconstruction.
You might also be referred to an orthodontist to assess your bite. The way in which you bite can impact the wear and tear of your teeth. To get the best results for your reconstruction, it might be necessary to correct your bite, before any other treatments take place.
You will also have at least one thorough physical examination of your teeth, where we'll check which cavity fillings, crowns, bridges, or other restorative procedures will be needed for healthy and functional teeth.
Your gums will also be assessed for any signs of periodontal disease. Healthy gums are essential for supporting teeth. Before restorative work can begin, any signs of gum disease will need to be treated. This will ensure you have a sturdy foundation to prolong the results of your reconstructive surgeries.
Beyond your dental health, the overall appearance of your teeth will be taken into consideration. We'll discuss any aesthetic changes, such as the color and uniformity of size, so you feel confident about your smile.
Full Mouth Restoration Success
The success of your full mouth reconstruction will depend on the treatments you need, and how well you look after your oral health in the long term. Avoid unhealthy habits, like smoking, which can severely harm your smile. Tobacco disrupts the circulation of your mouth, which can cause gum disease and a discolored smile. Another way to prolong your restoration is by following a strict oral hygiene routine and maintaining a healthy diet.
