Whats involved in full mouth reconstruction
In some cases, such as a total lack of previous oral care, trauma or illness, or in the case of an ongoing damaging illness or condition,  serious restructuring of the mouth, teeth, gums and jaw may be considered. Full mouth reconstruction is generally a result of either long periods of neglect of oral care, an ongoing issue, or trauma. Unlike a smile makeover, which is elective and largely cosmetic, a full-mouth restoration is required for a person’s overall health. It will improve your ability to eat and talk, as well as strengthening your gums and jaw, to ensure your beautiful smile will last you a lifetime. Not to mention the confidence boost great new smile can give you! Dr. Sam Sherif, at Veritas Dental Care, Harley Street, London, offers a full range of reconstruction options and can consult with you on which of these options will work best for you.
A full mouth reconstruction is often the only option for those with few natural teeth. Procedures included in a full mouth reconstruction can include implants, veneers, crowns, inlays, onlays and a bridge. However, full mouth reconstruction can also go beyond replacing teeth, into the gums, the jaw, and even the overall shape of the mouth. Your dentist will examine your gums for weakened tissue and offer soft-tissue or bone grafting when necessary to strengthen your gums and provide a better chance for replacement teeth. Additionally, temporomandibular joints and the stability of your bite will be considered along with a possible option to adjust the bite with orthodontics before moving forward with the reconstruction. This is to ensure the best possible results. Full mouth reconstruction procedures are designed to give you a healthy smile that will last a lifetime. Proposed treatment can vary widely depending on what each individual patient needs. Your dentist will work with you to offer a plan to ensure you get the best possible outcome.
