Full mouth reconstruction is a blanket term used to describe a group of procedures designed to restore your smile to a healthier, more attractive condition. This type of treatment combines cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry to improve the health, function, and physical appearance of your mouth.
Anyone who has multiple dental issues affecting the aesthetic appearance or function of their teeth and gums can benefit from a full mouth reconstruction.
Dr. Teodoro regularly performs full mouth reconstructions to address a wide range of oral health problems, including:
You might also benefit if you have weak or damaged teeth caused by issues such as bruxism (teeth grinding) or a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.
The team also uses full mouth reconstruction to help people born with certain genetic conditions.
No two full mouth reconstruction treatments are exactly alike. Dr. Teodoro tailors a custom care plan that aligns with your individual health history and goals for treatment. That said, the process usually combines several cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures, including:
If you have crooked or misaligned teeth, the team might also recommend orthodontic treatment with Invisalign®.
Full mouth reconstruction is safe and well-tolerated. However, some of the procedures involved require surgery or anesthesia. For example, if you receive dental implants, the first step of treatment involves a procedure that requires three to four months of recovery. Prior to performing a full mouth reconstruction, Dr. Teodoro walks you through each step of the process.
During your initial consultation, make sure to let Dr. Teodoro know about any prescription medications or supplements you’re taking, as well as any underlying health problems, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. These ailments won’t necessarily prevent you from undergoing treatment, but they may increase your risk of complications.
