full reconstructions
Patients who have many missing teeth or severe deterioration of most teeth may require a full mouth reconstruction using a combination of restorations, veneers, crowns, bridges, dental implants or partial dentures. The oral cavity is a dynamic environment where changes constantly occur, sometimes quickly but more often slowly over time. Changes can be due to a traumatic accident, periodontal disease, shifting teeth, a lifetime of neglect, a destructive habit such as grinding, or a lifetime of dentistry focusing on one tooth at a time and leaving the mouth resembling a patchwork quilt.
Full-mouth reconstruction by its very nature can be extremely complex, but it isn’t always. Dental techniques and technologies have come a long way in the past 20 years and patients are often surprised by what can be done. One thing is always important though, if the diagnosis and analysis is not thorough, some of the causes of the problems may not be identified and addressed in the treatment plan.
Treatment is often a non-surgical, comprehensive approach to getting the upper and lower jaws in proper alignment, removing all decay, repairing all chipped, weakened, and broken teeth, and ultimately, creating a healthy, attractive smile that will last for many years.
Once this treatment is completed you can expect a mouth that looks great, feels comfortable, and gives you the confidence to smile. If you are experiencing bite-related problems, feel that your teeth, your gums have been allowed to deteriorate or feel your mouth is in poor condition, then a full-mouth reconstruction may be the appropriate solution.
