What is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A dental reconstruction seamlessly fuses the art and science of restorative and cosmetic procedures, prioritizing enhancing oral health and dental function. A smile makeover, a cosmetic dentistry treatment focused on transforming the appearance of inherently healthy teeth, is available for those seeking aesthetic enhancements. The main difference between a smile makeover and full mouth reconstruction is that a smile makeover is primarily cosmetic, while full mouth reconstruction addresses both functional and structural dental issues through a series of restorative procedures.

Dr. Lazarof employs a comprehensive oral examination to identify the root cause of dental issues, determining whether you’re a suitable candidate for full-mouth rehabilitation. The treatment plan is focused on addressing specific functional, structural, or aesthetic concerns unique to each patient. The timeline for dental reconstruction varies, taking several weeks or months based on the type and extent of damage, and often involves different periods of treatment, recovery, and healing. Full mouth reconstruction can greatly benefit people with multiple missing teeth or complex dental problems, significantly improving their confidence, functionality, and overall quality of life.

Candidacy and Consultation: Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Right for You?

Figuring out if full mouth reconstruction is right for you really starts with sitting down for a good chat with a respected prosthodontist. This first step is honestly essential if you’re dealing with complex dental stuff like missing, broken, or teeth that just aren’t lining up right. During your consultation, the dentist’s going to take a thorough look around your mouth, figure out how complicated your case is, and talk through what you’re hoping to achieve.

It’s kind of like having them evaluate things like how many teeth you’re missing, whether your gums are healthy, and what the overall structure of your mouth looks like—then they can put together a treatment plan that’s tailored just for you. This personalized approach makes sure every aspect of your dental issues gets addressed, which honestly guides you toward the best results and a beautiful smile. Through this whole process, you’ll discover the right course of action to get that full mouth reconstruction that fits your unique needs and really transforms your confidence.

What Can a Full Mouth Reconstruction Do for Me?

Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, serve as customized restorative prosthetics placed on teeth affected by damage, extensive decay, or large old fillings, aiming to restore both function and aesthetics. Crowns become essential for teeth post-root canal treatment, safeguarding the weakened inner structure and averting potential fractures. These restorations also help restore the form (shape and structure) of damaged teeth, ensuring proper function and appearance.

A dental bridge emerges as a cost-effective solution to address common issues associated with tooth loss. Beyond cosmetic considerations, the absence of a tooth (or multiple teeth) can give rise to various problems, including the shifting of surrounding teeth, an elevated risk of decay and gum disease, alterations in bite dynamics leading to discomfort, and challenges in speech and chewing. For those with a missing or consecutive missing tooth, the adjacent supporting teeth are modified and fitted with crowns to anchor the bridge securely.

Alternatively, though less common, cantilevered bridges only attach to one side. The installation of a dental bridge not only eliminates unsightly gaps in your smile and enhances your ability to eat and speak, but it also prevents the shifting of remaining teeth and alterations to your bite. It is crucial to note that bone loss continues in the vacant space beneath the false tooth, as the missing root is not replaced. Bacteria can infect the area between the gums and tooth roots, which may lead to further damage or tooth loss if not addressed.

Before beginning procedures involving fillings, crowns, or bridges, minor occlusal adjustments are often necessary to ensure proper alignment of individual teeth. During this process, you’ll bite down on a thin piece of colored paper designed to transfer color to areas of contact.

Dr. Lazarof then meticulously eliminates any interference, gradually reinserting the paper and prompting you to bite until your teeth achieve the correct alignment. This ensures the final restorations fit seamlessly and contribute to optimal oral function, while also relieving muscle discomfort that can be associated with misaligned teeth or jaws.

Dental implants offer unparalleled longevity, a seamlessly natural appearance, and exceptional versatility by replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire set in one or both arches. A dental implant is a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, serving as a foundation for attaching a permanent artificial tooth. Consisting of three integral components—the implant post, the crown, and the abutment connecting the crown to the post—dental implants present a durable solution that can endure a lifetime. Beyond their lasting functionality, dental implants contribute to enhanced appearance, boosted confidence, and the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods without concerns about decay. For patients seeking a modern alternative to traditional dentures, implant supported dentures offer improved stability, convenience, and aesthetics.

Digital impressions have revolutionized the traditional process of obtaining molds for dental procedures. Utilizing advanced technology, digital impression systems create highly accurate 3D models of a patient’s teeth and gums without using messy traditional molds. This technology not only enhances precision in various dental treatments such as crowns, bridges, and implants but also provides a more comfortable experience for patients. You can trust the expertise and recommendations of our dental team to ensure optimal results.
