Full Mouth Reconstruction Cosmetic Examples to Restore Your Oral Health

full mouth reconstruction West Palm Beach, FL

A full mouth reconstruction can be performed when most of a patient's teeth are missing or damaged. The process involves rebuilding and restoring all of the patient's teeth on their lower and upper jaw. Full mouth reconstruction is usually performed by general dentists, and the goal is to restore the function and aesthetics of the patient's teeth.

Reasons a person might need full mouth reconstruction include teeth damaged by tooth decay or trauma, fractured or broken teeth, teeth worn down by tooth decay or teeth grinding or missing teeth. A bad bite may also need reconstruction.

What to expect during a full mouth reconstruction

The process of full mouth reconstructions starts with a consultation. The oral professional will examine the patient's mouth looking for defects. The dentist will also take a close look at the patient's gums looking for signs of gum disease. The patient will be asked questions about their medical and dental history to determine the treatments they are eligible for. X-rays are taken to examine the patient's teeth roots and jaw.

Here are some of the common treatments dentists administer during full mouth reconstructions:

  • Fillings: Minor damage caused by tooth decay and gum disease can be fixed with dental fillings. If the damage to the tooth is severe, onlays/inlays can be used to restore the tooth. These are fillings that are made with a mold and then cemented to the affected tooth.
  • Veneers: These cosmetic restorations can be used to fix small chips or to hide stains, deformations, gaps and minor alignment issues. A veneer is a thin, tooth-shaped shell that goes over the front surface of a tooth. It hides any flaws behind it, creating the appearance of healthy-looking teeth.
  • Crowns: Crowns are one of the most commonly used procedures during full mouth restoration. Also called caps, they cover the visible part of teeth, protecting them from further damage and restoring their function. Crowns are very durable restorations that can last over 25 years depending on the materials they are made with.
  • Implants: Implants are not very different from real teeth. The process involves inserting a rod or screw into the patient's jaw to replace the lost root and attaching a crown to its outer end. Implants preserve the bone tissue loss that often occurs when a person loses a tooth, making them one of the most popular ways to replace missing teeth.
  • Dentures: This is an excellent solution for patients who have lost most of their real teeth. These appliances have two main parts, the framework that rests on the wearer's gums and artificial teeth.
