What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

A full-mouth reconstruction improves the health, function, and appearance of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, enhancing chewing, speaking, and your smile’s aesthetics. At Reflections Dental, full-mouth restoration may include a combination of onlays, inlays, bridges, crowns, veneers, dental implants, and dentures. Some cases may require bone or gum grafting. We collaborate with a periodontal specialist experienced in full-mouth restoration to help restore both your oral health and your smile’s appearance. Our team carefully listens to your concerns and goals to create a personalized treatment plan tailored just for you.

What Can I Expect from Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

After a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jawbone, TMJ (temporomandibular joints), facial muscles, and bite, our restorative dental team may recommend full-mouth reconstruction. Your customized treatment plan will be designed around your specific needs and goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your treatment options and sedation choices to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Typically, full-mouth reconstruction requires multiple visits to Reflections Dental, spaced with healing periods between procedures to promote optimal recovery.

What to Expect After Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Following each procedure in your treatment plan, our dentists will provide detailed care instructions and explain what to expect during recovery. You may be prescribed antibiotics or pain medications to manage healing. Some treatments, like implant placement, might cause swelling or discomfort, making a liquid or soft-food diet advisable temporarily. After completing your reconstruction, maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home along with annual exams and twice-yearly professional cleanings at Reflections Dental is essential. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor your restorations and overall oral health.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

Full-mouth reconstruction may be recommended if you have lost multiple teeth or have several teeth with large fillings that need replacement. Candidates often have widespread decay, broken, cracked, or severely worn teeth caused by conditions like bruxism (chronic teeth grinding). Certain dental disorders, including ectodermal dysplasia (missing teeth from birth), amelogenesis imperfecta (abnormally small teeth), or dentinogenesis imperfecta (discolored or translucent teeth), may also require extensive reconstruction. You might seek to replace older crowns or improve your oral health and comfort. In more severe cases, dental damage and gum loss can cause visible facial changes, such as sunken cheeks, which full-mouth reconstruction can help restore by properly rebuilding your teeth and facial structure.
