At Advanced Dental Artistry, we take pride in offering a tailored, expert approach to full mouth reconstruction that ensures you receive the best care suited to your unique needs.
So what does full mouth reconstruction involve and who is it suited for? We will discuss this in more detail and how Advanced Dental Artistry uses cutting-edge technology and a patient-centric approach to deliver some great results.
What is full mouth reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction, also referred to as full mouth rehabilitation, is a comprehensive dental procedure that addresses major oral health issues. This type of treatment typically involves a combination of dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and even orthodontic work. The aim is to restore the entire mouth to optimal health, function, and appearance.
Full mouth reconstruction is necessary when multiple teeth are severely damaged or missing. It’s a restorative process designed to correct long-term dental problems, including bite alignment, oral functionality, and appearance, improving not just the aesthetics of your smile but your overall dental function.
Who is eligible for full mouth reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is ideal for patients who have experienced extensive tooth damage or loss due to various reasons, including:
- Severe tooth decay: Extensive cavities can weaken teeth to the point where simple fillings or crowns are not sufficient.
- Gum disease: Periodontal gum disease can cause tooth loss, and in advanced cases, it may lead to the deterioration of the jawbone.
- Trauma or injury: Accidents or injuries that result in multiple damaged or missing teeth may require a full mouth rehabilitation.
- Bite misalignment: Issues like TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders or misaligned bites can cause significant wear and tear on the teeth, leading to further complications.
- Genetic disorders: Conditions like amelogenesis imperfecta or ectodermal dysplasia can affect tooth development, resulting in the need for comprehensive treatment.
At Advanced Dental Artistry, full mouth reconstruction is often recommended when simpler dental treatments are insufficient to restore a patient’s oral health.
Whether your teeth are worn down due to years of grinding (bruxism) or you’ve experienced a traumatic injury, our team will tailor a solution that addresses both the functionality and appearance of your teeth.
Advanced Dental Artistry’s approach to full mouth reconstruction
At Advanced Dental Artistry, we understand that no two patients are the same. That’s why our approach to full mouth reconstruction begins with a thorough consultation and assessment.
Our team of dental experts and implant specialists, work together to create a customised comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how we approach full mouth reconstruction:
1. Initial consultation and diagnosis
Your full mouth reconstruction journey begins with an in-depth consultation at our clinic. During this appointment, we take the time to understand your oral health history, goals, and concerns. This consultation includes:
- Digital imaging and scans: Advanced imaging technology, such as 3D CBCT scans and digital impressions, allows us to see a detailed picture of your teeth, gums, and jawbone structure.
- Comprehensive oral examination: We’ll evaluate the condition of your teeth, gums, and bite alignment, and take note of any damage or decay that needs addressing.
- Discussion of your goals: Whether you’re looking to improve your smile’s aesthetics, restore chewing function, or relieve jaw pain, we’ll discuss your personal objectives and expectations for the procedure.
2. Customised treatment plan
After gathering all the necessary information, our team creates a tailored treatment plan that outlines each stage of your full mouth reconstruction. This plan will detail the types of procedures needed, such as:
- Dental implants: If you’re missing teeth, dental implants are a permanent solution that mimics the look and function of natural teeth.
- Crowns and bridges: For teeth that are damaged but still viable, crowns can restore their strength and appearance. Bridges can be used to fill gaps left by missing teeth.
- Veneers: Porcelain veneers may be used to enhance the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, chipped, or slightly misaligned.
- Orthodontics: In some cases, braces or aligners may be required to correct bite alignment before any restorative procedures are performed.
3. State-of-the-art technology and precision
At Advanced Dental Artistry, we use cutting-edge dental technology to ensure precision and comfort throughout the process. Our digital design technology allows us to map out your new smile, giving us a preview of the results before any work begins. This ensures that you are fully involved in the planning process and feel confident in the direction of your treatment.
4. Phased treatment process
Full mouth reconstruction is not a one-day procedure. It involves a phased treatment approach, typically spanning several months to ensure optimal results. These phases include:
- Pre-treatment: Any necessary preparatory work, such as tooth extractions or periodontal treatment, will be completed before the major procedures.
- Core procedures: This stage involves placing dental implants, crowns, or bridges and performing any necessary bite adjustments or orthodontic treatments.
- Aesthetic finishing: Once the functional aspects of the treatment are complete, we focus on aesthetics, using veneers or cosmetic bonding to perfect the appearance of your smile.
Throughout each phase, we ensure your comfort and keep you informed of your progress. Our focus is on delivering a seamless experience, and we take pride in maintaining a compassionate and patient-centred approach.
5. Post-treatment care and maintenance
After your full mouth reconstruction is complete, ongoing care and maintenance are crucial for long-term success. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, and regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor your progress. You’ll also receive tips on maintaining your new smile, including advice on oral hygiene practices and dietary considerations.
Benefits of full mouth reconstruction
The benefits of full mouth reconstruction go far beyond aesthetics. Some of the key advantages include:
- Restored functionality: You’ll regain the ability to properly chew, speak, and smile.
- Achieve optimal oral health: By addressing issues such as gum disease and tooth decay, full mouth reconstruction improves your overall oral health.
- Long-term solution: Full mouth reconstruction offers a durable, long-lasting solution to complex dental problems, providing peace of mind for years to come.
