The Right Candidates for Complete Mouth Reconstruction
Patients suffering from dental conditions that interfere with their normal tooth function and cause constant pain or discomfort may want to explore a full mouth reconstruction. Many patients who undergo this procedure have lost a tooth due to trauma, or have injured, chipped, badly worn, or fractured teeth. People with extensive tooth decay or have large fillings that are failing benefit from this procedure too.
Anyone who suffers from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder and the accompanying jaw issues, or was born with certain medical conditions that require extensive tooth restoration, may also be good candidates for full mouth reconstruction. Some treatment options for oral cancer also require reconstruction. Our staff will perform a thorough exam to help determine a patient is a good candidate.

Reasons Someone May Want or Need a Complete Mouth Reconstruction
Various functional and cosmetic conditions may justify a full mouth reconstruction as a treatment. Patients should have a consultation with our team to will discuss their options. Some common reasons that people may want or need this procedure include:
- Aesthetic improvement: It is not uncommon for patients to seek a complete mouth reconstruction for aesthetic reasons. Discoloration, wear, missing teeth, and other issues may not impact function but can have an adverse cosmetic effect. Full reconstruction can help patients improve their self-esteem and enjoy the smiles they have always wanted.
- Dental decay or disease: Dental decay and other disease affecting the teeth can also necessitate reconstruction. In most cases, decay alone can be treated with less extensive procedures. However, if left untreated, tooth decay can put teeth at risk of needing replacement.
- Gum disease: Oral health can play a big role in the necessity for a complete mouth reconstruction. Gum disease can result in losing multiple teeth. This is especially likely if a problem goes unaddressed for too long.
- Oral trauma: A full mouth reconstruction may be necessary to restore the proper function of the teeth after significant trauma. Extensive cracking, chipping, and damage can require comprehensive treatment. Long-term damage from wear can also cause a person to want or need this treatment.

Treatment Options
Full mouth reconstructions often combine one or more services that address the patient's specific oral health problems. That will help improve their smile and the function of their teeth and jaw. Essentially, a complete mouth reconstruction breaks down into two types: restoration of the existing teeth and a full mouth implant restoration.
When restoring existing teeth, we will use various techniques to help save as many of the patient's natural teeth as possible. That typically involves crowns, fillings to repair decay, root canals, veneers, and dental bridges or implants to replace missing teeth. A full mouth implant restoration will involve extracting remaining teeth and their replacement with dental implants.

Top Mouth and Bottom Mouth Reconstructions
A common alternative to full mouth reconstruction is a partial treatment of just the upper or lower mouth. The treatments for both parts of the mouth are similar. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, the jawbone, which is at the bottom of the mouth, may require bone grafting if it is overly weakened or damaged.
This can also happen with the top of the mouth but is less common. Some reconstruction of the jawbone and gums may be necessary to create a healthy smile even if implants are not used.

Cosmetic Complete Mouth Reconstructions
While some patients require a full mouth reconstruction to restore function, many patients with misaligned or gapped teeth elect to have it done to improve the look of their smile. Both procedures utilize many of the same techniques and equipment. In both cases, the result is a more appealing smile.
Veneers can help improve the look of teeth by closing gaps and changing their size, shape, and even color. Gum contouring is also a technique used to improve the overall appearance of a smile. Dental crowns not only strengthen teeth but can also cover a discolored tooth or one that needs reshaping. If a patient's teeth are not to their liking but are otherwise healthy, a smile makeover could be right for you.
