What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

If you aren’t happy when you look in the mirror because your teeth are so damaged and many are missing, there is a good possibility that we can assist you with full mouth reconstruction. This refers to troubleshooting every tooth in your mouth, which includes different components of restorative dentistry. We want you to appreciate the beauty of your entire smile, even if many of the teeth that will be present in the end are manufactured or finished with porcelain veneers.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Full Mouth Reconstruction?

There are many patients who have had ongoing dental problems, including tooth decay and loss, but they never get a comprehensive treatment that will make their smile look more aesthetically pleasing and improve their oral function. We see patients every day who have multiple teeth that are missing, large fillings, crowns, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth, and worn down teeth. They may also have unsightly stains, massive tooth decay, and damaged crowns. They need a holistic approach to their smile, which begins with a complete total mouth consultation and an action plan. People may be heavy smokers or have practice other habits, and, surprisingly, they may have a genetic predisposition to bad teeth or poor oral hygiene. The point is, every mouth can be fixed. Some patients also have specialized conditions including ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfects, or ameliogenesis, which fully or partially explains the poor condition of their mouth.

Finding the Best Dentist for Full Mouth Reconstruction

When you are considering oral reconstruction surgery, you need to understand what is a full mouth reconstruction. Full teeth restoration begins with evaluating the condition of each tooth in the mouth. Total teeth restoration also can take different forms, depending on if you want to obtain dental implants or just crown your teeth. Some patients, for example, may just restore their damaged teeth with crowns and veneers and wear a bridge in place of their missing teeth. Complete tooth restoration may be needed for someone who has many teeth missing, but every patient is different.

What to Consider

When you are looking for a way to change the look of your mouth, especially as you get older, the best option is some form of full mouth rehabilitation. By this, we mean that every tooth in your mouth will be restored to its former condition. There are multiple ways to go about this, including:

• Full mouth crowns
• Full mouth veneers
• Full mouth dental implants
• Oral reconstruction surgery
• Complete tooth restoration

It’s important to consult with the best dentist in Los Angeles, get x-rays of your mouth, and discuss the various options. Below, we explain some of the expert dentistry services that we offer in our West Hollywood office, which helps you get a better idea of how we complete total mouth rehabilitation.

Treatment Options for a Total Mouth Reconstruction

In general, most people when they age will not like the total look of their mouth and don’t imagine they will need full mouth reconstruction, which is extensive and very costly. The normal process of aging brings on many problems with teeth that were not evident in the younger years of healthy adults practicing good oral hygiene. As a patient considering full mouth reconstruction, you could look at any set of dental treatments that will improve your entire smile and correct the multiple troubled teeth as a total mouth rehabilitation.

If you have many missing teeth or many teeth that need crowns or need to be removed and replaced with implants, or artificial teeth, then you probably need a full mouth rehabilitation or full mouth reconstruction. Think of it not as rebuilding your mouth from the ground up, but working with a partial foundation. By this, we mean the teeth that are salvageable, if any. If there are missing structures in your mouth, they need full mouth rehabilitation so that you don’t get further bone loss, which could make your face look sunken and therefore prematurely ages you. There are so many options when it comes to full mouth restoration that you should see your prosthodontics as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Schedule a free Dental Consultation for Full Mouth Reconstruction

A dentist who specializes in the installation of dental appliances and full mouth reconstruction surgery and full mouth restoration, which includes crowns, bridges, dental implants, and dentures, is called a prosthodontist. This educated professional must invest more years in learning the techniques of this specialty of dentistry, which means going beyond general dentistry training. A prosthodontist practicing full mouth reconstruction may apply veneers and inlays, which will give the patient a smile makeover when his or her teeth are badly stained. You want to consult your LA prosthodontist and get the right combination of appliances and expert finishes to your remaining teeth that will result in a beautiful smile and help you chew efficiently. Full mouth reconstruction can also help you perform other oral activities with ease. Much like an orthodontist helps a patient with a crooked or uneven smile, a prosthodontist can use a variety of techniques to make your mouth look like new through full mouth restoration!

Questions to Ask Your Holistic Dentistry Prosthodontist About Full Mouth Restoration

If you are considering working with a prosthodontist in West Hollywood to complete your full mouth reconstruction, chances are that you have many questions. Obviously, doing a total mouth restoration is not going to be an economical undertaking, but you want to get the full value for your investment in full mouth crowns, full mouth veneers, or full mouth dental implants. Our restoration services can take many months to complete, but we work through a process to help you gradually achieve the smile you desire! Furthermore, even the best dental insurance plans may pay only a portion of the cost, and many procedures that you might consider obtaining at the prosthodontist’s office would be considered cosmetic and might not be covered at all.

Here are some questions you can ask:

• What is the surgical option that will give me the best results – implants, crowns, bridges, or dentures?
• How many months will it take to complete my total teeth restoration?
• Will any sedation be required to perform my proposed full teeth restoration?
• What services and prosthetic devices will my dental insurance cover?
