Is Full Mouth Reconstruction Right for Me?
Are you missing multiple teeth? Are you suffering from extensive tooth decay and gum disease? These are examples of the kinds of complex or severe dental issues that a full mouth reconstruction can help with. The process can ultimately restore the health, function, and appearance of your smile, thus boosting your confidence and making it easier to enjoy a wide variety of foods.
Even if you have been dealing with certain dental problems for years, a full mouth reconstruction could get your oral health back on track. It could also improve your quality of life in a variety of ways.
The Full Mouth Reconstruction Process
The full mouth reconstruction process typically consists of multiple treatments that have been carefully chosen to address specific oral health issues. It can potentially include any combination of the following:
- Gum disease treatment for infected gums that are putting you at risk for tooth loss.
- Dental implants, dental bridges, or dentures for filling in the empty space left by missing teeth.
- Dental fillings and crowns for repairing teeth that are damaged or suffering from decay.
- Cosmetic dental treatments for enhancing the appearance of your smile.
We’ll figure out which treatments you need during an initial consultation. Our team will take a close look at your mouth and clarify what your goals and expectations for the process are. Then we will walk you through your options and help you figure out the best way to achieve the results you have in mind.
Understanding the Cost of a Full Mouth Reconstruction
One of the questions you’ll want to answer before starting the full mouth reconstruction process is, “How much will it cost?” Obviously, the final price tag will be influenced by the kinds of treatments that need to be performed. Fortunately, a reliable cost estimate can be provided at your initial consultation once we have a clearer idea of what your smile needs.
Dental insurance can often help pay for many of the treatments that are typically included as part of a full mouth reconstruction plan. On top of that, we can help you apply for CareCredit financing, which lets you break up the cost of your care so that it doesn’t put as much strain on your budget.
Full Mouth Reconstruction FAQs
How Long Will My Full Mouth Reconstruction Results Last?
This is not a question with a set-in-stone answer. Each full mouth reconstruction plan is different, and some treatments yield longer-lasting results than others. That said, you can generally expect the longevity of your newly rebuilt smile to be influenced by the care you give it on a regular basis. Protect your grin after a full mouth reconstruction by:
- Brushing at least two times a day for two minutes at a time.
- Making flossing a daily habit.
- Visiting your dentist every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning.
- Staying away from hard foods that can damage your teeth.
- Cutting down your consumption of coffee and other dark-colored beverages that are known for leaving stains on enamel.
- Breaking bad oral habits, such as tearing open packages with your teeth.
- Calling your dentist right away if you ever experience tooth pain or other concerning symptoms.
Does Getting a Full Mouth Reconstruction Hurt?
We want your full mouth reconstruction process to be as comfortable as possible no matter what kind of treatment you need. For particularly complex procedures, we may apply a local anesthetic to your mouth to keep it numb. Sedation dentistry can also help reduce discomfort and keep any anxiety you might be experiencing under control.
It’s not unusual for there to be some level of soreness in your mouth after a full mouth reconstruction. Our team can give you tips for managing your discomfort; this generally includes eating only soft foods, staying away from hot beverages, and getting plenty of rest.
Will People Be Able to Tell That I Had a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
A full mouth reconstruction yields highly lifelike results, so people meeting you for the first time most likely won’t be able to tell that you’ve had dental work performed. As for people who already know you, it’s important to remember that some full mouth reconstructions are more noticeable than others; treatments that only involve a couple of teeth are less likely to draw attention than procedures that change the appearance of the entire smile.
When you meet with our team to begin the full mouth reconstruction process, please let us know whether you would prefer subtle or dramatic results. This is something that we can take into account when putting together your treatment plan.
Can I Get a Full Mouth Reconstruction If I Smoke?
We’ll need to learn more about your unique situation to determine whether smoking will have an impact on your candidacy for a full mouth reconstruction. The good news is that some people who smoke may still be able to undergo the reconstruction process. However, it should be noted that tobacco can have an adverse effect on the body’s ability to heal. As such, you may be told to stop smoking for a while before and after certain procedures. Please talk to your regular physician if you need help breaking your smoking habit.
