    How Full Mouth Reconstruction Works

    There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for full mouth reconstruction. Every patient who qualifies for this series of dental restorations has their own oral health difficulties and challenges to overcome, which means their solutions will vary too. Your problems are uniquely addressed for what they are, but some of the most common procedures included in full mouth reconstruction include the following:

    • Dental implants: Replace missing teeth, both the root and crown. Can replace one tooth or replace an entire arch of teeth through implant-supported permanent dentures.
    • Dental bridges: Replaces a missing tooth and is anchored in place with porcelain crowns to solidify your smile.
    • Dental crowns: Conceals teeth that are damaged, broken, or have been treated for large areas of decay.
    • Dentures: Replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. Can be permanent or removable.
    • Root canal therapy: Repairs deep tooth infections and fills the canals of the tooth so the tooth can be saved from extraction and the chance of future decay is eliminated.

    Full mouth reconstruction takes place over the course of several dental appointments, because all the procedures cannot be done at one time or you must wait for healing time in between procedures. But no matter what restorative dentistry or cosmetic dentistry treatments you undergo, both functionality and appearance of teeth are corrected simultaneously so you can have an attractive, strong smile.

    Reasons Patients Need Full Mouth Reconstruction

     most typical reasons patients qualify for full mouth reconstruction are because of the following issues:

    • Trauma: If you were in a car accident, suffered a sports injury, got a broken jaw, or had some other trauma to your mouth that damaged multiple teeth, emergency dentistry is usually the first line of defense. Once the acute problems are managed, what you are left with is time to develop a plan for full-mouth reconstruction.
    • Infection: Gum disease or severe tooth infections may require tooth extraction or lead to lost teeth. Patients who do not see their Chandler dentist regularly miss out on quick diagnoses when problems like these develop. They often find themselves facing severe pain and dental treatments like root canal therapy to alleviate discomfort. Without treatment, the problem can spread and threaten the solidity of neighboring teeth, eventually leading to a need for full-mouth reconstruction.
    • Aging: You use your teeth every day, and they work hard to help you eat and speak. The older you get, the older your teeth get, and the more your teeth have been used over time. If quality oral hygiene and regular dental visits are not part of your daily routine, you are far more susceptible to developing oral health problems and regular wear and tear makes teeth wear down more quickly. Reconstruction measures can restore teeth so they are strong, durable, and long-lasting.

    Do You Need Full Mouth Reconstruction?

    If you have a dental problem, do not wait until your next dental visit to have it looked at. Do not try to ignore the issue or assume the pain will go away on its own. Small oral health problems become big problems, and can lead to serious infections, tooth loss, and an altered appearance. Make your teeth and gums a priority – don’t suffer with teeth that are damaged or a smile that is incomplete.
