When severe dental problems require a full mouth reconstruction, a general dentist can create a restorative dentistry treatment plan that will simultaneously address the health, function, and appearance of the teeth and gums.
So what exactly is a full mouth reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction involves a number of treatments to correct the damaged bite position as well as chipped and broken teeth
Treatment to full mouth reconstruction varies completely accordingly to patient’s dental problem
Full mouth reconstruction improves the functionality of teeth, cosmetic appearance of teeth, alleviate dental related head ache, neck ache and other health factors like neuromuscular problems associated with improper position of jaw.
Generally the dental surgeon will fix any bite problems first. Dentist tries to determine whether you have an improper bite alignment and if there are any such problems, will use lab work and molds to create an orthodontic device. Patient’s need for this is also determined with the help of computer scans which access your jaw muscle function
Orthodontic device is worn in patient’s mouth for a period of time to reposition the improper jaw to the correct position. This device could either be removed or fixed depending on the patients needs but in general they are not noticeable.
Once bite is corrected using orthodontic device, restorations may be applied which includes porcelain veneers, bonding, crowns or onlays. Restorations are made after taking a mold of teeth having crowns or veneers, etc., made in the lab. Once they are made the patient returns to the office and the restorations are applied to the teeth again.
This may take few to several visits depending on the restoration types needed.
