What is a full mouth reconstruction?

A full mouth reconstruction is a procedure that includes:

– Replacing and repairing teeth

Patients with severe cases of missing or damaged teeth are recommended to have a full mouth reconstruction. To further explain, the procedure usually includes a combination of dental crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, contouring, teeth whitening, TMJ treatment, bruxism treatment, oral surgery, and periodontal disease treatment. Each full mouth reconstruction plan is customized to benefit the patient’s individual need. In addition, patients that have genetic disorders like ectodermal dysplasia, amelogenesis or dentinogenesis imperfecta benefit from full mouth reconstruction. Also, those that have suffered oral cancer may need the procedure to replace or repair teeth.

What is a prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist that has undergone advanced education in dental restoration and teeth replacement. Dental restoration and replacement require a set of skills to offer the best and most natural results for patients. Hence, full mouth reconstructions are best performed by a prosthodontist.
