Your smile is a critical part of your wellbeing. Good oral health makes it possible to eat all your favorite foods comfortably, speak and smile with confidence, and allow your full personality and sense of humor to shine.

If you’ve been struggling with multiple dental problems or feel like your teeth need a complete reset, you might have heard about something called full mouth reconstruction. But what is it, and how can it help?

A Comprehensive Approach to Restoring Your Complete Smile

Full mouth reconstruction is a dental treatment plan designed to rebuild or restore all your teeth. It’s not just about looks—although creating a beautiful smile is part of it—it’s also about making sure your teeth function properly for eating, speaking, and overall oral health.

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach that allows us to address each of your teeth individually while ensuring the restorations fit and function perfectly as a team. This allows us to tailor your plan to your unique needs and smile goals while addressing issues with your bite to protect the health and function of your jaw joints.

Whether you have missing teeth, damaged teeth, or issues with your bite, full mouth reconstruction brings together different procedures to give you a smile that works and looks great.

What Does Full Mouth Reconstruction Involve?

Think of it like a big puzzle. Our team will work with you to figure out what pieces you need to put together a healthier smile. Here are some of the most common procedures involved:

• Dental Crowns: These “caps” cover damaged teeth, restoring their strength and appearance while rebuilding lost enamel. Crowns are an excellent option for worn down, broken, and severely decayed teeth.
• Bridges: Perfect for filling gaps caused by missing teeth. A dental bridge is traditionally anchored to stable natural teeth on either side of a gap. However, we can also coordinate with a surgeon to create a bridge supported by dental implants.
• Dental Implants: This permanent solution for missing teeth looks and feels completely natural. Because implants don’t rely on natural teeth for support, they’re a great option to avoid unnecessary work on otherwise healthy teeth, and make it easier to permanently replace many missing teeth without struggling with a partial or full denture.
• Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells that improve the appearance of the teeth that show when you smile. Our custom crafted dental veneers are made with consideration for your facial features, smile shape, gum line, and skin tone so they look completely natural.
• Orthodontics: If your teeth or bite need alignment, braces or clear aligners might be part of the plan. Properly aligning your teeth is the best way to create an ideal foundation for other restorations.
• Gum Treatments: Healthy gums are key to a healthy mouth, so gum care is often part of the process. Dr. Dunn and Dr. Nestle work closely with our expert dental hygienists as well as periodontal specialists to resolve active gum disease, ensuring your renewed smile lasts as long as possible.

Every plan is unique. We will work with you to create a customized treatment plan based on your needs, budget, and goals.

How Do You Know If You Need Full Mouth Rehabilitation?

Full mouth reconstruction isn’t for everyone, but it’s life-changing for those who need it. It’s ideal if you’re dealing with:

• Multiple Missing Teeth: If you’re missing many teeth, replacing them can make eating, speaking, and smiling easier.
• Severe Tooth Damage: Cracked, chipped, or worn-down teeth can be restored.
• Jaw Pain or Bite Issues: If your bite doesn’t align correctly, it can cause pain or difficulty chewing.
• Extensive Decay: When cavities affect many teeth, reconstruction can repair and protect them.

If you’re unsure whether this is right for you, don’t worry! The first step is to schedule a consultation for full mouth reconstruction with our team in Orlando, FL.

What are the Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Full mouth reconstruction is more than just a dental treatment—it’s a way to transform your quality of life. By restoring your teeth and bite, you’ll notice immediate improvements in how you eat and speak.

Having a full set of strong, functional teeth allows you to comfortably eat a full variety of nutritious foods, protecting your overall health and ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Plus, the aesthetic improvements can boost your confidence, giving you a smile you’ll feel proud to share.

Beyond these changes, addressing underlying dental issues and gum disease also enhances your overall health long-term, reducing your risks for issues like heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancers among others. For those dealing with jaw pain or bite problems, reconstruction can provide significant relief, helping you feel comfortable and pain-free again.

Overall, it’s a life-changing solution that helps you feel more like yourself.
