Full Mouth Reconstruction Procedures

Dental reconstruction or teeth reconstruction surgery is used for patients who suffer from cracked, missing, and chipped teeth. If you are missing the majority of your teeth on the upper or lower arches, full mouth reconstruction may be the best solution to restoring your smile. A full mouth rehabilitation procedure or full mouth reconstruction process can be quite complex as the surgeon has to consider the entire functionality and system of a patient’s mouth and oral structure;- taking into account their ability to chew, speak, smile, their joint health, and overall longevity of the end result. Full mouth rehabilitation techniques can be completed on natural teeth, dental implants, or even on a combination of both.

The main and most suggested full mouth reconstruction procedures patients typically undergo are Fillings, TMJ treatment (Temporomandibular Joint) restoration, root canal therapy, dental crowns, , dental implants, inlays and onlays and porcelain veneers

Full Mouth reconstruction steps will start with a general consultation with your dentist where you can discuss your main concerns and overall goals for treatment and rehabilitation. The dentist will then enquire about your overall health, medical history, and other possibly relevant lifestyle choices that could affect you during surgery such as smoking or medications.

Once the dentist gets a full understanding of any pre-existing physical limitations and or anxiety that may make the full mouth reconstruction procedure harder as there would be more sedation needed, they will conduct a final comprehensive, oral, neck and head exam to better ascertain the full extent of the issue so that they can come up with the best-personalized treatment plan.

The 4 main factors they take into consideration are the overall condition of your teeth and gums, the bite alignment, and the esthetic appearance of the teeth. Aside from the initial visual examination, the dentist will take more records and x-ray scans, images as well as impressions of the patient’s teeth, and most importantly take intraoral pictures of the oral cavity which will reveal any other underlying problems that are not normally visible on the surface.

The next step is where the dentist creates a digital design of the current position of the teeth and where they will be once the surgery is completed, giving a full picture of the end result. From there they send the design off to have a 3D model of the possible dental restoration or prosthetics. This is done so that the patient will be able to try on the model to get an overview of both the look and feel of what their reconstruction will be like which will help in the final adjustments of the actual dental implant restoration.

Now that the examination, records, and models have been completed, the dentist creates and explains the treatment plan in detail which can include: Orthodontic treatment, Removal of damaged or infected teeth, Root canal therapy, Periodontal treatment, Placement of dental crowns, veneers, or implants, TMJ treatment, Corrective jaw surgery and Placement of implant-supported dentures. This plan will help the patient to achieve excellent dental and oral health with their new set of healthy teeth.

Although these steps are discussed with the patient, the dentist will make sure to provide a copy of this treatment plan that the patient can review and become familiar with before surgery to decide on how and if they want to proceed and it is also at this time that they will receive an estimate of the cost of the full mouth construction procedure.
