Full Mouth Reconstruction

What is full mouth reconstruction?

Aging doesn’t have to mean that the appearance of your smile and the health of your mouth has to suffer. With today’s modern dental techniques, it is possible to restore damaged, diseased, or decayed teeth, giving you back your beautiful smile, as well as your social confidence. Sometimes replacing one or several teeth is enough. Other times, full mouth reconstruction is needed. 

Full mouth reconstruction is a term that describes a process that replaces or rebuilds all of the teeth in the upper and lower portions of your mouth. Full mouth reconstruction is sometimes also referred to as full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth restoration. Full mouth reconstruction takes advantage of a wide range of dental procedures and techniques to achieve the most customizable results.

Why is full mouth reconstruction needed?

There can be many reasons why someone might need full mouth reconstruction. Advanced periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, creating a need for widespread mouth reconstruction. In addition to periodontal disease, teeth can also become lost or damaged due to trauma. Normal wear-and-tear, especially as you age, is another common contributing factor. Issues with bite alignment that can lead to facial and head pain is also an indication that mouth reconstruction surgery may be beneficial.
