What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
It's a comprehensive restorative dentistry treatment that is designed to combat several oral health issues. Full mouth reconstruction can include a number of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures that can help patients get the healthy and beautiful smiles they deserve. Unlike smile makeover, which is solely a cosmetic procedure, full mouth reconstruction refers to treatment that is medically necessary for a patient to sustain their oral health. The treatment can address several issues, including tooth decay, excessive tooth wear, tooth loss, gum disease, bone deterioration and gum recession. Ultimately, it helps restore function to the mouth so that patients can speak and eat comfortably.
Over the years, Dr. Durán has helped many patients rebuild their smiles, including patients with extremely worn dentition. Regardless of the severity of your condition, he can help.
Who is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction is recommended for patients who are experiencing significant oral health problems that require dental work on the entirety of the mouth. Patients who are seeking full mouth reconstruction should abstain from smoking or drinking alcohol, as both are contributors to infection in the mouth. It is also important that full mouth reconstruction patients adopt good oral hygiene habits to be practiced during and after treatment. This will ensure the long-term success of the procedure.
During an initial consultation, Dr. Durán performs a thorough analysis of the patient. He performs an examination and works closely with the patient to determine the underlying causes behind their health issues, their individual habits, and their expectations regarding treatment. The examination may include X-rays as well as impressions of the mouth. During this time he also explains all procedure options, addresses any questions or concerns, and makes recommendations for treatment.
The Treatment
Full mouth reconstruction often involves several different restorative procedures that are performed over the course of several months. During an initial appointment, Dr. Durán devises a treatment plan in accordance with the patient’s needs. Depending on the goal of treatment, any of the following procedures may be performed.
