Full Mouth Reconstruction

As the name implies, full mouth reconstruction refers to rebuilding and/or replacing all of the teeth in a patient’s mouth. Full mouth reconstructions combine cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry to improve the health, function, and beauty of the mouth.

Do You Need a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is appropriate for patients who have extensive dental problems throughout their mouth. The need for full mouth reconstruction may result from:

• Multiple missing teeth
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Periodontal disease
• Teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma.
• Teeth that have been injured or fractured.
• Teeth that have become severely worn as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding.
• Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle and headache pain requiring adjustments to the bite (occlusion).

There is also a group of patients who were born with conditions such as Ectodermal Dysplasia, Ameliogenesis, or Dentinogenisis Imperfecta that will need extensive restoration of their teeth. These patients may be candidates for a full mouth reconstruction.

The goal of Full Mouth Reconstruction is to give the patient restored function with cosmetic benefits for good oral health and a healthy smile.
