What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Patients may require full mouth reconstruction for a variety of reasons. More commonly, full mouth reconstruction is used to help patients who have multiple teeth that are missing, decayed, broken or worn down.

This may be due to any of the following:

• Missing teeth due to periodontal disease
• Congenitally missing or affected teeth in congenital conditions
• Teeth fracture because of a fall or accident
• Long-term acid erosion
• Decay from systemic diseases or from the side effects of medication
• Teeth worn down by bruxism, or tooth grinding
• Oral cancer

Oral surgery is frequently needed in conjunction with full mouth reconstruction to remove the severely decayed teeth, loose teeth and tumors, correct the maxillomandibular relationship and Tempo-mandibular joint dysfunction. Surgery can also help restoring missing teeth with placement of dental implants. Full mouth reconstruction increases the person’s ability to chew, improves their quality of life and change their appearance. Not sure if full mouth reconstruction is right for you?

What to Expect During Full Mouth Reconstruction?

The reconstructive process looks different for everyone. Over the course of treatment, the patient may receive dental ceramic on lays, crowns or veneers to strengthen and change the look of their teeth, or they may need implant crowns or implant-supported dentures to replace the missing teeth. Depending on what’s needed, the entire process is usually spread out over several appointments and may take a year or longer to complete. Let us help you with your dental needs!
