What Is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

December 20, 2016

A confident smile is one of your most unique features. If you have had dental issues in the past with significant damage to your teeth and gums, a full mouth reconstruction could be the key to restoring your beautiful smile. This sort of complicated and in-depth procedure requires a true dental expert like Dr. Lawrence Duffy or Dr. Kyle Duffy. Our dentists are experts in the field with the experience to create a customized dental plan to address every patient’s individual needs.

The Importance of a Complete Consultation

Before Dr. Duffy can begin work on restoring your smile, he will meet with you for a private consultation and full oral examination to determine the scope of the work. He will spend the time necessary to assess the condition of your teeth for both health and aesthetic issues and also check your gums for disease and recession. Sometimes, gum disease may be treated prior to other reconstruction procedures. Finally, Dr. Duffy will assess the health and condition of your jaw alignment and bite to determine if you will require temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatment.

Possible Dental Procedures Included in a Full Mouth Reconstruction

The exact procedures included in your full mouth reconstruction will depend on the condition of your teeth and gums. Dr. Duffy will determine the best path to restoring your smile and dental health. Our practice services are done with cutting edge techniques that minimize pain and maximize results. A full mouth reconstruction usually requires several procedures performed over the course of several months to allow your mouth to recover between operations. Some of the procedures that may be part of your reconstruction include:

• Treatment for gum disease
• Orthognathic surgery
• Surgical placement of dental implants
• Orthodontic work
• Jawbone grafting

Restoring Your Smile
