What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is a discipline that focuses on complex dental issues, which can include severely decayed, broken or worn teeth, missing teeth replacement, as well as complicated bite which can inhibit function.
These dental complications require profound reconstructive treatments to restore full health, form and function, stabilizing the bite. (occlusion)
Full mouth reconstruction transforms dental health to provide patients with an improved quality of life. It also restores facial height and aesthetics.
What Time Scale is Required for Full Mouth Restoration?
Time needed to complete full mouth restoration is different for each patient. Extensive dental damage requires greater treatment and a longer treatment time, whereas minimal damage can be corrected much more quickly. Naturally, each reconstructive treatment varies in length and scope. You can discuss the timescale for your individual treatment with your Dental Square dentist at a consultation appointment. Just give us a call and speak to our friendly staff. They will arrange an appointment.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedure
1) Examination
The full mouth reconstruction procedure begins with a thorough dental examination to assess the patient’s oral health, which includes, the periodontal tissue, jaw muscles, as well as the color, shape, and size of the teeth. X-rays, photographs, and impressions of the teeth will also be taken
2) Cleaning
Before any reconstructive treatments can commence, the teeth must first be cleaned. Your personal Dental Square dentist begins by cleaning the teeth, before moving onto the infected or damaged tooth. The gums will also be checked for gum disease. Gum disease must be treated before the full mouth construction goes ahead, as gums provide the foundation for good teeth support.
3) Reconstruction
Dental implants
Dental Implants are used to replace missing teeth and also replace teeth that cannot be restored with crowning and often essential for full mouth rehabilitation.
Implants function as the tooth root and provide a lifetime of strength and support for the replacement crown. Implants restore full performance, and allow for comfortable biting and chewing.
Dental crowns
Dental crowns are caps that fit over broken or decayed teeth to restore form and function. Crowns are strong and permanent restorations which also enhance appearance. They mimic the enamel of natural teeth for an attractive and realistic finish.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are delicate thin porcelain covers/caps, used to give you back the natural clean look of your teeth. At the same time porcelain veneers provide strength and resilience which can be compared to that of natural tooth enamel. Today, Veneers is increasingly becoming an aesthetic option to make small corrections in tooth alignment, or to change the shape, size, or color of the tooth.
