Full Mouth Reconstruction: An Excellent Way to Rejuvenate Your Smile

Your teeth being as strong as they are, tend to feel as though they can weather any storm. At times, this is true, especially with a little help from our dentist in Enfield. But at times, all the other procedures seem to fall short, and the only thing left to do is full mouth rehabilitation.

Modern dentistry has made great leaps, and now at Enfield Family Dental, there are a host of procedures that we can perform to ensure that you keep that awesome smile.

With full mouth reconstruction, our dentist in Enfield can replace and rebuild all of your teeth. You can turn back the clock on your teeth and appearance. This might seem a little bit far-fetched, but let’s take a closer look at what full mouth rehabilitation is all about.

What is Full Mouth Reconstruction?

Just as the name suggests, full mouth reconstruction refers to a procedure or a series of procedures that combine restorative dentistry techniques with aesthetics to improve the function, health, and beauty of your mouth.

If you have unhealthy gums, missing teeth, or other problems in your mouth, you will need a holistic treatment like full mouth reconstruction (FMR) to solve all of the issues. It is not an entirely aesthetic treatment but is also beneficial to people who have oral health issues.

Who Needs Full Mouth Reconstruction?

There are a host of things that can qualify you for a full mouth reconstruction. Here they are:

• If you have had an accident which causes damage to the mouth and results in loss of teeth
• If you have jaw pain or headaches that are because of malocclusion (misalignment)
• If you have worn down teeth
• If you have periodontal disease or gingivitis and your gums are infected
• If you are born with conditions such as Ameliogenesis, Ectodermal Dysplasia, or DentinogenesisImperfecta, you are a perfect candidate for FMR.
• If you have decayed, chipped, or broken teeth

What Does It Entail?

This is one of the most complex procedures in dentistry most of the time, and it involves the use of multiple procedures. All the treatments are designed to attain a variety of goals, and these are:

• To address jawbone and gun damage.
• Repair damaged teeth
• Replace missing teeth
• Replace worn-out dental appliances
• Treat mouth diseases
• Correct bites

Since the mouth is composed of both soft and hard tissues, our dentist will carefully have to consider all these structures when planning your full mouth reconstruction. Also, our dentist will look at the relationship between your lower and upper teeth, especially their occlusion (alignment).

If you have oral cancer, then the type of reconstruction will be a bit different. Our dentist will have to replace more than teeth but also restore the oral cavity that is missing.

Treatment Options

For full mouth reconstruction to be a success, our dentist has to utilize all the tricks in the bag. Ideally, everything has to be poured out into the procedures more often than not. The procedure is a blend of restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry to enhance the appearance and improve your oral health. Here are the treatments involved:

• Periodontal treatments such as root planing, scaling, and periodontal surgery
• Restorative dental treatments such as inlays, onlays, bridges, dental crowns, and fillings
• Oral surgery which includes soft and hard tissue grafting, tooth extractions, and root canal therapy
• Implant dentistry to restore teeth from the roots to the crown
• Orthodontics which includes expanders, retainers, traditional metal braces, and Invisalign
• Cosmetic procedures such as dental bonding, porcelain veneers, gum recontouring, and teeth whitening
• TMD treatment which includes correcting your bite and resolving problems with your temporomandibular joint
• Bruxism treatment which includes therapy that resolves teeth grinding problems

Benefits of Full Mouth Reconstruction

There are a host of benefits that FMR has, and they are:

• Restoring the function and strength to your bite
• Improving your speech
• Boosting confidence
• Reducing the risk of tooth loss and future infections
• Retaining facial integrity by maintaining healthy jawbone tissue
• Saving you money over the long-term
