Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full-mouth reconstruction, rehabilitation, and restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.
Full mouth reconstruction typically involves general or restorative dentists (performing procedures like crowns, bridges, and veneers), and can incorporate dental specialists like periodontists (specializing in the gums), oral surgeons, orthodontists (specializing in tooth movements and positions), and endodontists (specializing in the tooth pulp).
The need for full mouth reconstruction may result from:
-
Teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma.
-
Teeth that have been injured or fractured.
-
Teeth that have become severely worn as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding.
-
Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle, and headache pain require adjustments to the bite (occlusion).
Full Mouth Reconstruction vs. Smile Makeover
-
How does full mouth reconstruction differ from a smile makeover? A smile makeover is something that you elect to have performed, while a full mouth reconstruction is something that you need.
-
As the makers of dental materials respond to increasing consumer demands for beautiful, natural-looking dentistry, it is becoming harder to draw a line between purely "cosmetic" (such as elective) dentistry and "restorative" (necessary) dentistry. For example, it is now possible for your dentist to treat tooth decay with a tooth-like filling material that looks natural. If you need reconstruction, the materials available today make it possible for your dentist to provide you with durable, functional, and clinically sound treatments that also look natural.
-
It is also important to note that a smile makeover, though performed primarily to improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile, requires the use of clinically proven dental materials and treatment techniques, as well as exceptional knowledge, training, and skill on the part of the dentist.

Consult your Dentist
When you walk in for a consultation, you’ll get to know the team designing your full mouth reconstruction. You’ll be able to ask and answer some crucial questions, like:
-
Do you have any medical details the team should know? These could include a smoking habit, any immune issues, medications that could interfere with treatment, severe acid reflux, or dental anxiety. These factors can inform your treatment plan.
-
Do you have any trouble or pain from chewing, or severe pain in the jaw, neck, or teeth? This may indicate cavitation, temporomandibular joint issues, or airway issues that need to be dealt with during the reconstruction.
-
What is your ideal smile? As you chat with your dentist, you can give input on what you’d like the final result to look like.
-
Any questions you may have You may have questions about the length of treatment, the cost, and the dentist’s experience. You can also discuss sedation options at this time.
