They say, “You are never fully dressed without a smile,” and restorative dentistry can make that statement ring true. From subtle changes to major repairs, your dentist can perform a variety of procedures to improve your smile. Are you a person who has given up on your damaged smile? Do you having missed or chipped teeth? Well, you are in luck, as restorative dentistry can help renew your smile with a full-mouth reconstruction, which will help improve your overall smile aesthetically, optimize oral function, and reduce discomfort.

If a full mouth reconstruction sounds difficult, take comfort in the idea that IV sedation therapy will ease any pain and help the dentist make the process very quick and efficient.

What is a Full-Mouth Reconstruction?

If you have multiple issues affecting the health, function, and beauty of your smile, you may need comprehensive treatment that combines restorative, cosmetic, and general dentistry. Problems with having the smile you want are always difficult, but when your mouth isn’t working how it should, a full mouth reconstruction can provide an effective solution.

A full mouth construction may be necessary for candidates who are dealing with a variety of issues with their teeth, gums, and other tissue in the mouth. People who need a full mouth reconstruction may have also suffered some sort of injury or facial trauma. Sometimes bite issues also cause repeated stress to the TMJ (Temporomandibular joint), causing disorders and problems with the teeth and gums.

Your dentist will give you a comprehensive dental exam, and if you have tooth decay, fractured or injured teeth, worn out teeth due to acid or tooth grinding (bruxism), or pain in your jaw, they will discuss your options for repair and restoration. Essentially, they can offer a makeover on your smile to improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional problems with your bite, muscles, teeth, and bone structure. In severe cases, this is called a full mouth reconstruction.

The dentist is often a scary place if you often don’t know what to expect. Your smile is often the first thing people see, it is a trademark. So, if your smile is not something you are confident about, it can affect your life in a variety of ways.
