What Is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
September 5, 2017
When you need dental treatment, it’s all too easy to look at the surface problems. Many times, there are several issues which need to be addressed, both cosmetically and medically necessary to have a healthy and beautiful smile. A full mouth reconstruction considers the dental treatments required for good oral health. Tooth decay, tooth loss, gum disease and bone recession are all problems which may need to be dealt with before completion.
Several different restorative procedures may be included in the treatment plan. At your first consultation, Dr. Duran makes a recommendation for treatment, addresses your concerns and explores all options, based on your goals, underlying causes of dental health problems and your expectations. Here are some of the procedures which may be discussed:
- Dental crowns which preserve the health of the teeth and enhance your appearance
- Dental bridges for when you are missing teeth
- Inlays or onlays protect a tooth from further decay or damage and look more natural than metal fillings
- Dentures, both partial and full
- Dental implants, a permanent solution for tooth loss
- TMJ therapy
Full mouth restoration may take many weeks of treatment, but the results can change your life. A healthy mouth not only looks better and gives you more confidence, it also is better for your physical health. Gum disease is associated with tooth loss and decay, and it has been correlated with other chronic health issues, such as diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Complete dentistry looks at your whole health, evaluates your needs and creates a plan for results.
