Full mouth reconstruction is a combination of cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments used to restore health and function to teeth that are worn, broken, crooked, or missing. Full mouth reconstruction can dramatically improve the health and appearance of a patient's smile, but the exact combination of treatments will depend on the patient's needs and goals. At Lake Mountain Dental, our dentist can help determine if full mouth reconstruction is the right option for you.

When Is a Full Mouth Reconstruction Necessary?

A full mouth reconstruction may be necessary if a patient has experienced extensive dental damage or has experienced general oral health decline. It may be required to restructure both individual teeth and the entire jawline. Full mouth reconstruction may also be necessary due to specific aesthetic goals, such as changing the length of teeth or altering the smile's proportions.

What Types of Full Mouth Reconstruction Are There?

A full mouth reconstruction generally involves a combination of procedures. These can include root canals, fillings, dental crowns, bridges, tooth implants, and porcelain veneers. 

Sometimes, patients will need a combination of restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedures. For instance, patients may want to straighten their teeth with Invisalign, whiten them with Zoom teeth whitening, and change their smile with porcelain veneers.

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

Dentists may suggest full mouth reconstruction to repair oral health problems that have damaged the patient's smile or weak or missing teeth. Full mouth reconstruction is a multi-phase process that involves rebuilding and restructuring the mouth. The treatments your dentist recommends will depend on your goals and oral health. After your initial consultation, your dentist will create a customized treatment plan. Each treatment will be focused on achieving your treatment goals.
