Full Mouth Reconstruction

There are occasions when a patient’s mouth is in very poor condition. It may be due to neglect, periodontal disease, or even occlusal (bite-related) disease. Recurrent decay or multiple crowns and bridges are other reasons. Maybe the patient has bite problems, which have caused excessive wear on the natural teeth and aggravated the temporomandibular joint or jaw joint (TMJ). Under these circumstances, treating one area, or even just one arch, will not resolve the problem. This is when a full-mouth reconstruction is necessary.

These conditions could warrant a rehabilitation of the entire mouth. Full-mouth reconstruction does not necessarly mean surgery. It can be a non-surgical, comprehensive approach to getting the upper and lower jaws in proper alignment by removing all decay, repairing all chipped, weakened, and broken teeth, placing veneers, crowns and bridges in the patients’ mouth. Ultimately, a healthy, attractive smile is created that will last for years.
