Full Mouth Reconstruction for Tooth Restoration

For complete smile restoration, patients can undergo a full mouth reconstruction. Rather than treating one problem at a time, mouth reconstruction is a multi-faceted procedure for restoring your smile. Patients whose smiles are damaged or uneven may feel overwhelmed or even discouraged. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers many solutions for dental restoration.

How a full mouth reconstruction works

A full mouth reconstruction, or full mouth rehabilitation, can comprise multiple treatments. It may enhance the function as well as the appearance of the smile. A dentist will consult with each patient to develop and provide the most effective treatment plan possible. The dental professional may employ an intraoral camera during the examination. This cutting-edge technology enables the dentist to get a comprehensive perspective on a patient's oral health concerns and offer details to make educated choices for the treatment plan.

Tooth restoration options

The treatments that may be included in a personalized full mouth reconstruction treatment plan include:

• Periodontal therapy: The dentist can treat gum disease at any stage and help patients restore their smiles from the roots
• Dental fillings: To treat cavities, dentists use composite resin fillings. After the decay has been removed, a filling repairs the tooth's structure and prevents bacteria from invading the tooth. Composite resin fillings may also be tinted to match the color of the remaining teeth for a more natural appearance
• Inlays and onlays: A molar's surface may be repaired using an inlay or onlay. Onlays are used to replace one or more cusps of a tooth, while inlays are utilized between the cusps. When a filling would be inadequate, but a crown would be excessive, these restorations are usually the best option
• Dental crowns: Dental crowns are placed over the whole damaged, cracked, or decaying tooth to fortify it against additional damage. These restorations are utilized to restore structure and protect an injured or damaged tooth that requires greater stability than a filling, inlay, or onlay can give. Crowns may also be used in combination with a dental implant to replace a single lost tooth
• Bridges: Bridges are a kind of tooth replacement for patients with one or more missing teeth. Traditional bridges consist of crowns that cover the teeth on each side of the gap, with a prosthetic tooth in between to give the impression of a continuous bite. Bridges can also be anchored to dental implants for better stability
• Dentures: Dentures are a kind of tooth replacement that replaces multiple missing teeth. The dentist may recommend a partial or complete denture depending on the number of natural teeth still left on the jaw. Partial dentures, also called detachable bridges, are fitted with metal clasps connecting them to neighboring teeth. Dental implants can also support dentures
