FULL MOUTH
RECONSTRUCTION
RENEW YOUR SMILE!
Do you have multiple issues with your smile? Perhaps you have multiple damaged or missing teeth or have painful symptoms when chewing. If there are multiple issues occurring in your smile, or you have a systemic oral health issue, it can be stressful to know how to go about getting help.
When you need more than one or two treatments, a full mouth reconstruction could be the right approach to improving the look and function of your smile. Dr. Anne Adamson and the Homer Dental Center team want you to have a beautiful smile that doesn’t cause any discomfort.
What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction is a series of dental treatments with the goal of restoring your smile. Instead of a specific treatment, it’s best to think of full mouth reconstruction as a plan to improve your oral health and dental capabilities. It’s an individualized approach that aims to restore your smile, so you can have a better quality of life.
The main goal of full mouth reconstruction is to improve function, although most of the procedures will also improve the appearance of your smile as well.
Some of the dental issues that can be improved and corrected during full mouth reconstruction include:
Full mouth reconstruction can reverse years of aging and neglect, so you can smile with confidence again. By seeking full mouth reconstruction, you can move past pain and discomfort and smile knowing you’re just one step away from a healthy, functioning smile.
Common Treatments Used in Full Mouth Reconstruction
While nearly any dental service could be included in a full mouth reconstruction plan, some of the most common treatments used in this process include:
Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the best options for replacing broken or missing teeth. The dental implant post acts like a tooth root, while the replacement tooth attaches above the gumline. These implants can last a lifetime and look like natural teeth.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are a common restorative dentistry treatment for damaged teeth. If you have chips, cracks, or tooth decay, a cap goes over your existing tooth to strengthen it. The crown is permanently attached and is made of tooth-colored material.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is another restorative dentistry treatment that can replace missing or broken teeth. The bridge is attached to the adjoining teeth while replacement teeth “bridge the gap” in your smile.
Periodontal Care
Gum disease causes inflamed gums and loose teeth if left untreated. With periodontal care, such as scaling and root planing, or laser gum therapy we can help you keep your natural teeth when possible.
Dentures
If you have issues with multiple teeth, dentures may be the best option to fix your smile. Implant-supported dentures are a modern, comfortable option, as they are more secure and natural-looking than traditional dentures.
These are just some of the services you may need to restore your smile so it’s strong and functional. Dr. Adamson will consider many factors when developing your treatment plan, including your lifestyle, family history, and more.
The Benefits of a Full Mouth Reconstruction
Creating a plan for revitalizing your smile has several advantages to fixing your smile one issue at a time:
- Continuity of Care: If you work with the same dentist for a reconstruction, you can grow comfortable with them and they can get to know you and your needs. They will get to know your medical history and know your plan for fixing your smile.
- Cost Effectiveness: A full mouth reconstruction can treat multiple issues at once, reducing the amount of treatments you need to pay. You can also have a cost estimate up front to make payment planning easier.
- Less Chair Time: Combining treatments and doing multiple treatments on the same day means that you do not have to visit the office or sit in the dental chair quite as much. You could even consider sedation when you are in the office.
- Proper Order to Treatments: Periodontal disease must be treated before implants are placed, and other root causes should be treated before restoring your smile. A plan addresses the big issues first, ensuring the restorations last.
- Addresses Multiple Issues: A full mouth reconstruction addresses many different issues simultaneously, often with fewer treatments. This makes it more cost-effective and quicker.
