What Is Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

Full-mouth reconstruction may enhance the appearance, health, and function of your gums, teeth, and jaw for more efficient chewing and speaking, along with giving you a more attractive grin. Full-mouth restoration at Savannah Smiles Dental can include (but isn’t limited to) crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, dental implants, and dentures. Certain reconstruction procedures may also take a gum or bone graft. Dr. Cassandra Montemayor performs full-mouth reconstruction at our office in Schertz, TX. She will listen to your questions and concerns prior to making your personal full-mouth restoration treatment plan.

What Are The Benefits Of Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

Receiving a full-mouth reconstruction at Savannah Smiles Dental can be an intimidating process to undergo. For our Schertz, TX patients, there are several advantages to this innovative dental treatment, including:

  • Enhancement of your overall dental and gum health
  • Alleviation of some periodontal diseases
  • Replacement of damaged or missing teeth
  • Improved appearance to your smile

Am I A Good Candidate for Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

Full-mouth reconstruction may be needed if you’ve lost a few teeth or have many teeth with large fillings that are ready for replacement. You may also have teeth with widespread decay or teeth that are broken, cracked, or severely worn down due to bruxism (persistent teeth grinding). You might have dental ailments or even a hereditary disorder such as ectodermal dysplasia (teeth that never develop), amelogenesis imperfecta (very small teeth), or dentinogenesis imperfecta (translucent or discolored teeth), which require extensive treatment. You may want to replace old crowns, or just want to enhance your mouth for better comfort or health. In more advanced cases, your degraded gums and teeth may have created a visible facial deformity, like sunken cheeks. A full-mouth reconstruction may revive the whole face when the correct amount of teeth are in your mouth.

What Can I Expect from Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

After a thorough exam of the inside of your mouth, Dr. Montemayor may recommend full-mouth reconstruction. Your personalized treatment plan will be created, depending on the condition of your teeth, gums, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), facial muscles, and bite. She will discuss sedation alternatives and her own recommendations in your appointment to ensure your treatment strategy fits your personal wants and goals. Once your treatment program is made, she will go over exactly what to expect during your full-mouth reconstruction and schedule your appointments. In general, a full-mouth reconstruction will take several visits to Savannah Smiles Dental with time in between each treatment to allow your mouth to recover until the next step is taken.
