What Is a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is a series of procedures aimed at rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. This comprehensive treatment can take several months or longer to complete. If you have various dental issues, you may be a candidate for a full mouth restoration.

You have lost several teeth as a result of injury, decay, or periodontal (gum) disease
If your teeth are cracked, decayed, chipped, or suffering from any other form of damage
Your teeth have an irregular shape
Your teeth are greatly discolored
Your teeth are significantly worn down due to bruxism
You are experiencing gum recession as a result of periodontal disease

The objective of a full mouth restoration is to replace any problematic teeth, old fillings, crowns, or veneers, while also improving the alignment of your bite. Put simply, this treatment aims to restore and enhance not only your smile but also your oral and overall well-being.

Possible Treatment Options for a Full Mouth Reconstruction

There are different treatment options available for a full mouth reconstruction, and they can vary depending on the patient’s specific needs. 24th Street Dental Biltmore dentist, Dr. Donnelly, is experienced in a range of procedures that are tailored to address each individual’s requirements. These procedures include:

Professional Cleanings

Typically, this is where a full mouth reconstruction begins. It is important for your teeth and gums to be in good health in order to support a restoration. Our dental hygienist will perform a cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup, reducing the risk of future decay or gum disease.

Periodontal Treatment

If a patient has advanced periodontitis, we may suggest a scaling and root planing procedure to help restore the gum tissues to a healthy, pink state. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be recommended.

Crown Lengthening

The crown lengthening procedure is performed to remove excessive gum tissue in order to reveal more of the tooth. Additionally, this procedure may be required if there is insufficient natural tooth above the gum line to adequately support a restoration.

Orthognathic Surgery

We may suggest orthognathic surgery as a solution to correct or realign your jaw if you are experiencing issues that could be caused by skeletal abnormalities.

Gum Contouring

This procedure aims to alter the appearance of your gums. It addresses issues such as gum recession and enhances the overall symmetry of your smile.

Restoration Placement

We have a variety of options for enhancing the look and functionality of teeth that have been damaged. Dental crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers are all available to improve the appearance and function of damaged teeth. Additionally, we can provide temporary restorations while your permanent solution is being created.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics can often be the most effective solution to ensure your teeth are in the optimal position for reconstruction.

Bone and Soft Tissue Grafts

In order to effectively replace missing teeth, dental implants are considered the most optimal option. However, for the success of implants, it is essential to have a sufficient amount and quality of bone in the jaw. In cases where patients may lack the necessary bone, a bone graft procedure can be recommended to stimulate the growth of new, healthy bone. Additionally, for individuals experiencing severe gum recession, a soft tissue graft may also be suggested.
