Quick Guide on Full Mouth Reconstruction

The term "full mouth reconstruction" refers to a procedure that involves reconstructing a patient's whole set of teeth. Full mouth rehabilitation and restoration are other terms for the same thing. The entire mouth and oral structures system for successful reconstruction, including eating, speaking, smiling, joint health, and the long-term impact, are important considerations.

A full mouth reconstruction may be necessary if a person's mouth has been destroyed by illness, severe trauma, or infection. Several types of dental work are used in this operation to make the patient smile better. General, aesthetic, and restorative dental procedures are part of this procedure.

Consultation:

Those who believe they require substantial dental work (a full mouth reconstruction) should meet with their dentist for a consultation. He will ask questions regarding oral health, medical history, and relevant lifestyle variables like smoking or current medicine test. Questions like pre-existing physical difficulties or anxieties that may make the dental operation more difficult are crucial, and whether sedation is necessary or not.

The dentist will undertake a thorough examination of the mouth, neck, and head to determine the degree of the problem and the appropriate therapy. He will notice the overall dental condition and appearance, the health of the gum, and issues with bite alignments.

Digital Designing: 

The dentist develops a mechanical design depicting the current location of the teeth and where they are predicted to be following treatment. He can create a 3D model of a potential dental restoration or prosthesis using digital scanning technologies.

Testing the mockup restoration, the patient may understand how their new teeth appear and feel. Because of this, patients can provide their opinion on the models, which comes in handy while making final adjustments to the repairs.

Records & Impressions: 

After the dentist does a visual examination, they will also take x-rays, scans, and imprints of the patient's teeth. X-rays and intraoral photographs of the oral cavity can assist expose parts of the mouth that are not visible to the naked eye. After the procedure is finished, the dentist will take photos of the patient's teeth as a reference.

Treatment Plan: 

With the help of previous steps, the dentist will explain the best combination of dental operations and treatments to assist the patient in attaining good dental health and a full set of healthy teeth. The following are examples of possible procedures:

• Fillings
• Inlays or Onlays
• Teeth whitening
• Crown lengthening
• Removal of damaged or infected teeth
• Root canal therapy
• Periodontal treatment
• TMJ treatment
• Corrective jaw surgery
• Placement of implant-supported dentures
• Bridges
• Placement of dental crowns, veneers, or implants
• All-on-4 dental implants
• Bone or soft tissue graft
• Orthodontics

Duration:

The process of full mouth reconstruction is broken down into several stages, each of which necessitates numerous clinic visits. Due to the length of various dental operations and the expense, the dentist may stretch out the procedures over many months. Before installing the final restoration, processes such as implants need a recovery period. The dental restoration process engages a dental lab during a full mouth reconstruction.
