Full mouth reconstruction also called reconstructive dentistry, is a complex process that will fix many problems relating to the teeth and mouth. If you are missing most of your teeth, it can be the life-changing dental solution that improves your smile's appearance and overall health and increases your self-confidence. 76% of Americans admit being too embarrassed to smile. That means nearly 3 in 4 people miss out on all the health benefits of flashing their pearly whites. When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Then other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins come into play too. A smile makes people happy, can boost your immune system, and help you live longer!

Full mouth reconstruction can correct multiple dental issues:

• Replace any missing teeth
• Get rid of gum disease
• Repair and restore decaying teeth with large fillings
• Repair broken or cracked teeth, and badly worn-down teeth
• Stop the cycle of pain and illness in the mouth
• Fix some genetic dental conditions
• Achieve everyday mouth functioning and reduce pain in the mouth
• Help create a beautiful set of teeth

Full mouth reconstruction can involve different combinations of dental procedures and vary based on your specific needs:

• Dental implants restore or replace diseased or missing teeth.
• Dental crowns can be installed to fix a diseased tooth or an uneven bite.
• Bone grafting replaces areas where gum or bone is missing or diseased.
• Dentures are full or partial sets of artificial teeth.
• Invisalign can fix alignment issues without the aesthetic disruption of metal braces.
• Gum surgery gets rid of infected gums and unhealthy bones in the mouth.

What will the complete mouth reconstruction process look like?

First, a patient needs an x-ray showing how damaged teeth are within the mouth and if root canal therapy is necessary. Then the gums will be examined to see if any periodontal disease needs to be treated. Doctors can turn to cosmetic evaluation, determining what cosmetic alteration is wanted. Dentists will create a unique treatment plan to address all patients' medical needs. Gum restoration and root canal therapy will likely be done first, followed by dental implants and cosmetic alterations. By the end of full mouth reconstruction, patients are expected to have a healthy and beautiful mouth. Treatment length varies from three weeks to a few months if some extensive procedures are needed. Full mouth reconstruction restores both aesthetics and function of your teeth!
